This contribution presents an investigation on noise sensitivity of some of the most disseminated techniques employed to estimate Lyapunov exponents from time series. Since noise contamination is unavoidable in cases of data acquisition, it is important to recognize techniques that could be employed for a correct identification of chaos. State space reconstruction and the determination of Lyapunov exponents are carried out to investigate the response of a nonlinear pendulum. Signals are generated by numerical integration of the mathematical model, selecting a single variable of the system as a time series. In order to simulate experimental data sets, a random noise is introduced in the signal. Basically, the analyses of periodic and chaotic motions are carried out. Results obtained from mathematical model are compared with the one obtained from time series analysis, evaluating noise sensitivity. This procedure allows the identification of the best techniques to be employed in the analysis of experimental data.

We develop a mathematical model that explicitly represents many of the known signaling components mediating translocation of the insulin-responsive glucose transporter GLUT4 to gain insight into the complexities of metabolic insulin signaling pathways. A novel mechanistic model of postreceptor events including phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate-1, activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, and subsequent activation of downstream kinases Akt and protein kinase C-ζ is coupled with previously validated subsystem models of insulin receptor binding, receptor recycling, and GLUT4 translocation. A system of differential equations is defined by the structure of the model. Rate constants and model parameters are constrained by published experimental data. Model simulations of insulin dose-response experiments agree with published experimental data and also generate expected qualitative behaviors such as sequential signal amplification and increased sensitivity of downstream components. We examined the consequences of incorporating feedback pathways as well as representing pathological conditions, such as increased levels of protein tyrosine phosphatases, to illustrate the utility of our model for exploring molecular mechanisms. We conclude that mathematical modeling of signal transduction pathways is a useful approach for gaining insight into the complexities of metabolic insulin signaling.

Abstract The mathematical model of physicochemical iron removal from groundwater was developed. It consists of three interrelated compartments. The results of the experimental research provide information in support of the first two compartments of the mathematical model. The dependencies for the concentrations of the adsorbed ferrous iron and deposited hydroxide concentrations are obtained as a result of the exact solution of the system of the mass transfer equations for two forms of iron in relation to the inlet surface of the bed. An analysis of the experimental data of the dynamics of the deposit accumulation in a small bed sample was made, using a special application that allowed to select the values of the kinetic coefficients and other model parameters based on these dependencies. We evaluated the autocatalytic effect on the dynamics of iron ferrous and ferric forms. The verification of the mathematical model was carried out involving the experimental data obtained under laboratory and industrial conditions.

The article is devoted to determine the technological parameters of soil compaction by rollers according to soil properties in construction. The compaction of the soil occurs due to certain force loads on the soil. Nowadays, there are enough methods to determine the technological parameters of soil compaction process, however, there are few research methods that consider the system of soil-machine-technological parameters. The urgency of the soil compaction process, which ultimately determines the quality of construction products, was emphasized. The basic physical and mechanical properties of soil and technological parameters of the compaction process were given. Analysis of discrete mathematical model of interaction between roller and soil was carried out in order to determine the technological parameters of soil compaction process in the field of construction technologies. A rheological model to describe the soil properties was used. The differential equations of the interaction between roller and soil have been made. A numerical calculation method to solve the differential equations has been proposed. The basic technological parameters of soil compaction process by rollers have been determined - the thickness of soil layer to be compacted, the number of the roller passes, and the speed of the roller movement. The methodology of theoretical and experimental researches of interaction between roller and soil has been proposed in order to clarify the mathematical model and to find the technological parameters of the compaction process. Experimental research methods are based on the determination of the stress-strain state of soil and on the Fourier analysis of the experimental data. Fourier analysis of the experimental data makes it possible to analyze the qualitative energy spectrum of the interaction between roller and soil to determine the rational amplitude-frequency characteristics of the compaction process. Experimental studies allow obtaining such rheological properties of soil as elasticity, viscosity, coefficient of elastic resistance, etc. The main recommendations for the choice of compaction method depending on the type of soil have been proposed.

AbstractA computationally simple thermodynamic framework has been presented to correlate the vapour-liquid equilibria of carbon dioxide absorption in five representative types of alkanolamine mixtures. The proposed model is an extension of modified Kent Eisenberg model for the carbon dioxide loaded aqueous alkanolamine mixtures. The model parameters are regressed on a large experimental data pool of carbon dioxide solubility in aqueous alkanolamine mixtures. The model is applicable to a wide range of temperature (298–393 K), pressure (0.1–6000 kPa) and alkanolamine concentration (0.3–5 M). The correlated results are compared to the experimental values and found to be in good agreement with the average deviations ranging between 6% and 20%. The model results are comparable to other thermodynamic models.

Arising from careful measurements of the thermal behaviour of enzymes, a new model, the Equilibrium Model, has been developed to explain more fully the effects of temperature on enzymes. The model describes the effect of temperature on enzyme activity in terms of a rapidly reversible active–inactive (but not denatured) transition, revealing an additional and reversible mechanism for enzyme activity loss in addition to irreversible thermal inactivation at high temperatures. Two new thermal parameters, Teq and ΔHeq, describe the active–inactive transition, and enable a complete description of the effect of temperature on enzyme activity. We describe here the Model and its fit to experimental data, methods for the determination of the Equilibrium Model parameters, and the implications of the Model for the environmental adaptation and evolution of enzymes, and for biotechnology.

Проведен анализ существующих способов оценки размыва грунтов в гидротехнических и водопропускных сооружениях, показывающий, что определение глубины и скорости размыва проводится без учета физических свойств связных грунтов. Таким образом, данные параметры оцениваются по эмпирическим зависимостям и с существенными погрешностями. Опытные данные по размыву связных грунтов доказывают, что большая удельная поверхность и гидрофильность глинистых частиц приводят к разуплотнению и выносу микроагрегатов грунта в поток. Предложена математическая модель расчета глубины размыва связных грунтов в зависимости от касательного напряжения в грунте. Учет показателей сцепления и угла внутреннего трения в данной модели позволит избежать погрешностей в расчетах. The analysis of existing methods for assessing soil erosion in hydraulic engineering and culverts, showing that the determination of the depth and rate of erosion is carried out without taking into account the physical properties of cohesive soils. Thus, these parameters are estimated using empirical relationships and with significant errors. Experimental data on erosion of cohesive soils prove that the large specific surface area and hydrophilicity of clay particles lead to decompaction and the removal of soil microaggregates into the flow. A mathematical model is proposed for calculating the depth of erosion of cohesive soils depending on the shear stress in the soil. Taking into account the adhesion indicators and the angle of internal friction in this model will avoid errors in the calculations.
