The spreading of cells on suitably treated surfaces is briefly discussed and the need to analyse this phenomenon numerically is emphasized. Possible mathematical models for fitting experimental data are classified as statistical, kinetic or empirical and examples of each of these types are given. A possible protocol for analysing cell spreading kinetics and determining goodness of fit and parameter redundancy is presented.

Members of the genusThermusfamily are signifiant producers of secondary metabolites, which are very commonly used in industry. Beside the productivity, it is also important to study the growth curve of each strain. The mathematical models which are commonly used to describe behavior of microbial strains under different physical and chemical conditions can reduce measured data.In this study, the mathematical models which describe only the microbial count were used. For analysis, Verhulst model, von Bertalanffy model and Richards model were chosen.During the cultivation ofThermus aquaticusandThermus scotoductusstrains, optical density (OD) and concentration of microorganisms were measured. The mathematical models were fitted to experimental data. The fitting was made in program MATLAB. The coefficients of models and statistical evaluation of goodness of fit of models were identified from mathematical analyses. Graphs of individual models were plotted with prediction bounds. 95% confidence levels were used to statistical evaluation of goodness of fit of models and prediction bounds.Richards model was evaluted as the most corresponding with experimental data. Similar results were reached using Verhulst model. Von Bertalanffy model was not coresponded with experimental data.

<p><b>In this paper, the deficiencies and cause of previous adsorption kinetic models were revealed, new adsorption rate equation has been proposed and its validities were verified by kinetic analysis of various experimental data.</b> <b>This work is a new view on the adsorption kinetics rather than a comment on the previous adsorption papers.</b></p>

In this work we present a soft crawler fabricated using a magneto-active elastomer. The crawler is controlled by an external magnetic field to produce two locomotion patterns: peristaltic and caterpillar crawling. Due to its structural simplicity, low mass, wirelessly controlled actuation and compliant body the design of this crawler has the potential to address the key challenges faced by existing crawling robots. Experimental data were gathered to evaluate the performance of the crawler locomotion in a pipe. The results validated the mathematical models proposed to estimate the distance traveled by the crawler. The crawler shows potential for use in exploration of confined spaces.

AbstractMany experimental data along with their theoretical interpretations on the rf low-temperature cylindrical plasma have been issued until today. Our Laboratory has contributed to that research by publishing results and interpretative mathematical models. With the present paper, two issues are being examined; firstly, the estimation of electron drift caused by the rf field gradient, which is the initial reason for the plasma behaviour, and secondly, many new experimental results, especially the electron-neutral collision frequency effect on the other plasma parameters and quantities. Up till now, only the plasma steady state was taken into consideration when a theoretical elaboration was carried out, regardless of the cause and the effect. This indicates the plasma's complicated and chaotic configuration and the need to simplify the problem. In the present work, a classification about the causality of the phenomena is attempted; the rf field gradient electron drift is proved to be the initial cause.

An inverse numerical method that estimate parameters of dynamic mathematical models given some information about unknown trajectories at some time is applied to examples taken from Biology and Ecology. The method consisting of determining an over-determined system of algebraic equations using experimental data. The solution of the over-determined system is then obtained using, for example the least-squares method. To illustrate the effectiveness of the method an analysis of examples and corresponding numerical example are presented.

The influence of Co 2+ ions on the activities of Na+/K+-ATPase and Mg2+ -ATPase, enzymes from rat brain synaptic plasma membrane, was studied. The aim of this study was to investigate the inhibition of both ATPases activities byexposure tocobalt ions as a function of experimentally added CoSO4. The "free" Co2+ concentrations in the reaction mixturewere also calculated and discussed. CoSO4 induced a dose-dependent inhibition of both enzymes. The IC50 values of Co 2+, as calculated from the experimental curves, were 168 mM for Na+/K+-ATPase and 262 mMfor Mg 2+-ATPase, and for the recalculated free Co 2+ concentration 75.4 mM for Na+/K+-ATPase and 136 mM for Mg 2+-ATPase. The obtained linear Dixon's plot for Na+/K+-ATPase implies equilibium binding of cobalt with inhibitory sites on the enzyme. The kinetic parameters for both enzymes in presence and absence of CoSO4 were calculated from the experimental data. The results of the kinetic analysis show that inhibition of Na+/K+-ATPase induced by CoSO4 is non-competitive, and for Mg 2+-ATPase that there are two sites of different sensitivities or two different enzymes.
