Quantitative modeling and analysis with FMC-QE
The modeling and evaluation calculus FMC-QE, the Fundamental Modeling Concepts for Quanti-tative Evaluation [1], extends the Fundamental Modeling Concepts (FMC) for performance modeling and prediction. In this new methodology, the hierarchical service requests are in the main focus, because they …

Quantitative modeling for microbial ecology and clinical trials
Microbial ecology has benefited from the decreased cost and increased quality of next-generation DNA sequencing. In general, studies that use DNA sequencing are no longer limited by the sequencing itself but instead by the acquisition of the samples and by methods for analyzing and interpreting the …

Quantitative Modeling for Guiding the Transition to Low-Carbon Logistics
We propose quantitative models to guide the transition to low-carbon logistics by adopting new vehicle technologies. Freight and logistics systems are key enablers of global economic growth, competitiveness, and access to markets and services. However, freight mobility is a significant and growing …

QUANTITATIVE MODELING OF SCALING OF PATTERNS AND RECEPTOR SIGNALING IN MORPHOGENESIS
<p>Organs and tissue development often experience perturbations, but developmental processes seem to replicate a common body template to maintain appropriate proportions and positions. The key signaling factors that guide a number of those processes are known as morphogens. Developing cells sense …

Experiment-Based Quantitative Modeling for the Antibacterial Activity of Silver Nanoparticles
… emerging antimicrobial agents. However, little quantitative analysis has been performed so far to decipher the mechanism of interaction between nanoparticles and bacteria. Here, a detailed analysis based on kinetic growth assay and colony forming unit assay has been carried out to study the …

A Quantitative Modeling Approach to Examining High School, Pre-Admission, Program, Certification and Career Choice Variables in Undergraduate Teacher Preparation Programs
The purpose of this study was to examine if there is an association between effective supervision and communication competence in divisions of student affairs at Christian higher education institutions. The investigation examined chief student affairs officers (CSAOs) and their direct reports at 45 …
