We are interested in how behavioural concepts could be mathematically modelled, and more importantly, how these behavioural models can be coupled and integrated with existing models from computer science.
To determine if lipid metabolism is altered, we measured the sphingolipid, phospholipid and sterol content in NAWM and NAGM of multiple sclerosis and control brains, and modelled how these changes would affect the biophysical properties of myelin.
We arbitrarily assigned the probability that an observer responded that the right hand target in the array had the larger body size (for body size judgements) or was the most attractive (for attractiveness judgements) as our dependent variable, and modelled how this probability was affected by various features of the target and inducer images.
The basis for the study is a literature review identifying different suggestions as to how the stochastic nature of these parameters may be modelled, and a parameter study examines how the different models influence estimates of the statistical distribution of footbridge vibrations.
19 Key interventions assessed were standard and intensive approaches to glycaemic control, screening for retinopathy and subsequent treatment as needed, and screening for neuropathy plus associated preventive foot care (appendix 4 on bmj.com provides a more detailed description of these interventions and how they were modelled).
The concepts discussed in this paper are concentrating on layers V and IV, and how these could be modelled and combined with the methods used in CS in layers I and II.
Transmission models are typically fit from time-series disease prevalence data and modelled based on how the contact rate among hosts is affected by density, which is often assumed to be a linear (density-dependent transmission) or constant (frequency-dependent transmission) relationship.
To describe cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk profiles and treatment of individual CVD risk factors by modelled CVD risk at diagnosis; changes in treatment, modelled CVD risk, and CVD risk factors in the 5 years following diagnosis; and how these are patterned by socioeconomic status.
Generic machining rules have been set up and modelled using know-how maps and conceptual graphs.
Theoretical population genetics have in the recent decades seen a shift in how population genetics is modelled and analysed.
