The developed ensemble model can be potentially modified to model other types of MFCs or bioelectrochemical systems.
In establishing the fictitious crack model (FCM) for analyzing the mode-I type of cracks in concrete, Hillerborg et al. (1976) had also indicated the possibility of applying the concept to model other types of fracture, such as the shear fracture of the mode-II or mode-III type.
In this study, we consider only ultrasound images; however, the results in this paper are general and can be used to model other types of medical images [31].
Despite our particular interest in modeling SoS, we believe that the proposed statechart extensions can also be useful to model other types of systems like those in which interactions among networked systems need to be properly designed before they can communicate.
In fact, the general approach underlying D iscern is extensible and general, and can be applied to model other types of functional residues such as binding pocket specificity determinants and interaction interfaces.
That is because clinical data is often not normally distributed, especially data collected on something other than an interval scale, and a strength of LCA techniques is their ability to model other types of data and model the probability distributions inherent in each dataset.
In the BM energy model the H-H contacts contribute the large energy values; however, unlike the H-P model, other types of contact in BM model also contribute energy values.
The model structure used was essentially that described previously by Pradelli et al. TreeAge Pro 2009 software (TreeAge Software Inc., Williamstown, MA, USA) was used to design a discrete event simulation, which is a type of decision model (other types are decision trees and Markov models).
For example, results from climate envelope models, ecosystem models, process models, or other types of models can be directly incorporated into the assessment of climate change responses (Step 2).
