Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are growing concerns about the effects of environmental substances on the sexual endocrine system. It is believed that estrogenic substances may disrupt the sexual endocrine system by initiating or promoting such adverse effects as cancer, developmental disorders, and the reduction of fertility [17,40]. While these effects appear to be more imminent during high levels of exposure to estrogenic substances, concerns are increasing because low levels of exposure to estrogenic substances occur more frequently for longer periods of time; in our diets (phytoestrogens), in the environment (pesticides), and in contraception (spermicides and birth control pills) and hormonal therapies [17,40]. These effects might have a profound effect on the menstrual cycle. Therefore, mathematical models that accurately predict the serum levels of hormones that control the menstrual cycle would be useful tools in evaluating the effects of environmental substances. The human menstrual cycle is controlled by the pituitary hormones, luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and the ovarian hormones, estradiol, progesterone, and inhibin. The pituitary hormones stimulate the growth of ovarian follicles that secrete hormones and work to produce a fertilized ovum. The mathematical models to be presented in this work predict the blood levels of these five hormones as they interact to regulate and maintain the menstrual cycle. The unmerged model has a pituitary component and an ovarian component consisting of linear systems of ordinary differential equations with time dependent coefficients. The pituitary systems describe the synthesis, release, and clearance of LH and FSH during the menstrual cycle, based on their response to estradiol, progesterone, and inhibin. Functions representing the ovarian hormones are used as inputs into these systems. The ovarian system describes the roles of FSH and LH in the development of ovarian follicles and the production of estradiol.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essential introduction to the principles and applications of feedback systems—now fully revised and expanded This textbook covers the mathematics needed to model, analyze, and design feedback systems. Now more user-friendly than ever, this revised and expanded edition of Feedback Systems is a one-volume resource for students and researchers in mathematics and engineering. It has applications across a range of disciplines that utilize feedback in physical, biological, information, and economic systems. Karl Åström and Richard Murray use techniques from physics, computer science, and operations research to introduce control-oriented modeling. They begin with state space tools for analysis and design, including stability of solutions, Lyapunov functions, reachability, state feedback observability, and estimators. The matrix exponential plays a central role in the analysis of linear control systems, allowing a concise development of many of the key concepts for this class of models. Åström and Murray then develop and explain tools in the frequency domain, including transfer functions, Nyquist analysis, PID control, frequency domain design, and robustness. Features a new chapter on design principles and tools, illustrating the types of problems that can be solved using feedback Includes a new chapter on fundamental limits and new material on the Routh-Hurwitz criterion and root locus plots Provides exercises at the end of every chapter Comes with an electronic solutions manual An ideal textbook for undergraduate and graduate students Indispensable for researchers seeking a self-contained resource on control theory

Download or read book Modeling Life written by Alan Garfinkel and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-09-06 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book develops the mathematical tools essential for students in the life sciences to describe interacting systems and predict their behavior. From predator-prey populations in an ecosystem, to hormone regulation within the body, the natural world abounds in dynamical systems that affect us profoundly. Complex feedback relations and counter-intuitive responses are common in nature; this book develops the quantitative skills needed to explore these interactions. Differential equations are the natural mathematical tool for quantifying change, and are the driving force throughout this book. The use of Euler’s method makes nonlinear examples tractable and accessible to a broad spectrum of early-stage undergraduates, thus providing a practical alternative to the procedural approach of a traditional Calculus curriculum. Tools are developed within numerous, relevant examples, with an emphasis on the construction, evaluation, and interpretation of mathematical models throughout. Encountering these concepts in context, students learn not only quantitative techniques, but how to bridge between biological and mathematical ways of thinking. Examples range broadly, exploring the dynamics of neurons and the immune system, through to population dynamics and the Google PageRank algorithm. Each scenario relies only on an interest in the natural world; no biological expertise is assumed of student or instructor. Building on a single prerequisite of Precalculus, the book suits a two-quarter sequence for first or second year undergraduates, and meets the mathematical requirements of medical school entry. The later material provides opportunities for more advanced students in both mathematics and life sciences to revisit theoretical knowledge in a rich, real-world framework. In all cases, the focus is clear: how does the math help us understand the science?
