  1. 16. Testing Direct Coupling Analysis on HP Model Proteins

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Beräkningsbiologi och biologisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för astronomi och teoretisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Mustafa Kadhim; [2018]
    Keywords : Direct Coupling Analysis HP model proteins; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Direct coupling analysis (DCA) models correlations in sets of related (homologous) protein sequences using a Potts-like spin model ansatz. From the couplings of the Potts model, derived by inverse statistical mechanics, residue-pair contacts in the 3D structure of the protein are predicted. READ MORE

  3. 17. Classification by Decomposition : A Partitioning of the Space of 2X2 Symmetric Games

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Matematisk statistik; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska fakulteten

    Author : Mikael Böörs; Tobias Wängberg; [2017]
    Keywords : Game theory; Classification; 2x2 Games; Symmetric Games; Decomposition; Partition; Number of Games; Spelteori; Klassificering; 2x2-spel; Symmetriska spel; Dekomposition; Partitionering; Antal spel;

    Abstract : Game theory is the study of strategic interaction between rational agents. The need for understanding interaction arises in many different fields, such as: economics, psychology, philosophy, computer science and biology. The purpose of game theory is to analyse the outcomes and strategies of these interactions, in mathematical models called games. READ MORE

  4. 18. Population Models with Age and Space Structure

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Matematik och tillämpad matematik; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska fakulteten

    Author : Anton Karlsson; [2017]
    Keywords : Mathematical Biology; Partial Differential Equations; Long-term Behaviour;

    Abstract : In this thesis, basic concepts of populational models are studied from a theoretical point of view, especially the long term behaviours. All models are at least time dependent with additional age structure, spatial structure. READ MORE

  5. 19. Mathematical modeling of normal and cancer prostate signaling pathways

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Sofia Stamouli; [2015]
    Keywords : prostate cancer; MAPK pathway; prostate cancer signaling;

    Abstract : The field of systems biology has become very popular as a means to deal with cancer as well as other complex biological issues. It enables scientists to gain an insight into difficult conditions through mathematical approaches that have been developed. READ MORE

  6. 20. Computational Stochastic Morphogenesis

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Avdelningen för beräkningsvetenskap

    Author : Yakup Saygun; [2015]
    Keywords : computational morphogenesis; computational biology; biological pattern formation; stochastic simulations; stochastic Turing patterns; stochastic models; reaction-diffusion master equation; intrinsic noise; URDME; next subvolume method;

    Abstract : Self-organizing patterns arise in a variety of ways in nature, the complex patterning observed on animal coats is such an example. It is already known that the mechanisms responsible for pattern formation starts at the developmental stage of an embryo. However, the actual process determining cell fate has been, and still is, unknown. READ MORE
