Students also were asked two final questions at the end of the semester: 1) Before this semester, had you constructed a mathematical model of a biological system? 2) After this semester, are you more likely to construct or use a mathematical model to understand a biological system?
At the end of the semester, we also asked two additional questions to assess the effects of the course: 1) Before this course, had you ever constructed a mathematical model of a biological system? 2) After taking this course, are you more likely to construct or use a mathematical model to understand a biological system?
Of the 14 engineering majors, seven had not previously constructed a mathematical model of a biological system, and six of these seven students (86%) were more likely to construct or use a mathematical model to understand a biological system.
Of the 17 biology majors, 14 had not previously constructed a mathematical model of a biological system, and 12 of these 14 students (86%) were more likely to construct or use a mathematical model to understand a biological system.
In the entire class, across all majors, 26 students had not previously constructed a model, and of these students, 22 (85%) said that they were more likely to construct or use a mathematical model to understand a biological system.
IAQ, thermal comfort, and energy saving potential of the combined system are estimated using a mathematical model of the system described in this paper.
Instead, the data audit system uses a mathematical function called a Merkle tree, which allows the entire history of the data to be represented by a relatively small record, yet one which instantly shows any attempt to rewrite history.
The system uses a mathematical model to "see" people in the room based on signal strength and attenuation.
Mathematical transfer On a synchronization event, only the parts of the dataset changed since the last synchronization are transferred between the mobile device and the remote system using a mathematical method.
The approach is based on the integration of experimentally available information on infection development in an animal model using a mathematical model that describes the system dynamics observed.
