Though the rate of population increase has been regarded as a concerning issue, estimation of the population instability in the upcoming years may be useful for national planning. To predict Bangladesh’s future population, this study compares the estimated populations of two popular population models, the Malthusian and the logistic population models, with the country’s census population published by BBS. We also tried to find out which model gives a better approximation for forecasting the past, present, and future population between these two models.展开更多

Using the fifth national census data as basic data and using areal interpolation method, this paper analyzes character of urban population dis- tribution of Shenyang City, Northeast China, in terms of three aspects of statistical character, spatial auto-correlation and spatial structure. Furthermore, this research analyzes the factors affecting the population distribution of the city. The main conclusions include: 1) There is an obvious structure character of population distribution in the grid with a grain of 300m, which is appropriate scale when researching population distribution in Shenyang City. 2) Urban population dis- tribution has the character of assembling while population density distribution takes on variability in Shenyang City. 3) Population density distribution shows spatial auto-correlation within 7.36km. Spatial heterogeneity of population density is low. 4) Urban center, population distribution barycenter and population density maximum points separate each other. Population density distribution has multi-cores character. 5) Layout of governments, primary schools, middle schools, colleges, hospitals and marketplaces affects population distribution directly. With the increase of distance to these factors, population density decreases as logarithm.展开更多

Firstly, we can gain the estimated values of population density adaptive to different kinds of regions. Secondly, we can integrate effectively population data with other data including natural resources, environment, society and economy, build 1km GRIDs of natural resources reserves per person, population density and other economic and environmental data, which are necessary to the national management and macro adjustment and control of natural resources and dynamic monitoring of population. In order to establish population information system serving national decision making, three steps ought to be followed:1) establishing complete geographical spatial data foundation infrastructure including the establishment of electric map of residence with high resolution using topographical map with large scale and high resolution satellite remote sensing data, the determination of attribute information of housing and office buildings, and creating complete set of attribute database and rapid data updating; 2) establishing complete census systems including improving the transformation efficiency from census data to digital database and strengthening the link of census database and geographical spatial database, meanwhile, the government should attach great importance to the establishment and integration of population migration database; 3) considering there is no GIS software specially serving the analysis and management of population data, a practical approach is to add special modules to present software system, which works as a bridge actualizing the digitization and spatialization of population geography research.展开更多

A promising strategy for the control of the disease is closed-loop brain stimulation. How to determine the stimulation control parameters for effective and safe treatment protocols remains, however, an unsolved question. To constrain the complex dynamics of the biological brain, we use a neural population model（NPM）. We propose that a proportional-derivative（PD） type closed-loop control can successfully suppress epileptiform activities. First, we determine the stability of root loci, which reveals that the dynamical mechanism underlying epilepsy in the NPM is the loss of homeostatic control caused by the lack of balance between excitation and inhibition. Then, we design a PD type closed-loop controller to stabilize the unstable NPM such that the homeostatic equilibriums are maintained; we show that epileptiform activities are successfully suppressed. A graphical approach is employed to determine the stabilizing region of the PD controller in the parameter space, providing a theoretical guideline for the selection of the PD control parameters. Furthermore, we establish the relationship between the control parameters and the model parameters in the form of stabilizing regions to help understand the mechanism of suppressing epileptiform activities in the NPM. Simulations show that the PD-type closed-loop control strategy can effectively suppress epileptiform activities in the NPM.展开更多

We propose a control protocol using a tangentpulse driven model and demonstrate that it indicates a desirable design, i.e., of being both fast and accurate for population transfer. As opposed to other existing strategies, a remarkable character of the present scheme is that high velocity of the nonadiabatic evolution itself not only will not lead to unwanted transitions but also can suppress the error caused by the truncation of the driving pulse.展开更多

The focus is on the systematic work to construct an executable simulation model. There are six fundamental choices of model category and model constituents to make. These choices have a profound impact on how the model is structured, what can be studied, possible introduction of bias, lucidity and comprehensibility, size, expandability, performance of the model, required information about the system studied and its range of validity. The first choice concerns a discrete versus a continuous description of the population system under study—a choice that leads to different model categories. The second choice is the model representation (based on agents, entities, compartments or situations) used to describe the properties and behaviours of the objects in the studied population. Third, incomplete information about structure, transitions, signals, initial conditions or parameter values in the system under study must be addressed by alternative structures and statistical means. Fourth, the purpose of the study must be explicitly formulated in terms of the quantities used in the model. Fifth, irrespective of the choice of representation, there are three possible types of time handling: Event Scheduling, Time Slicing or Micro Time Slicing. Sixth, start and termination criteria for the simulation must be stated. The termination can be at a fixed end time or determined by a logical condition. Population models can thereby be classified within a unified framework, and population models of one type can be translated into another type in a consistent way. Understanding the pros and cons for different choices of model category, representation, time handling etc. will help the modeller to select the most appropriate type of model for a given purpose and population system under study. By understanding the rules for consistent population modelling, an appropriate model can be created in a systematic way and a number of pitfalls can be avoided.展开更多

In this study, we aimed to establish a stochastic mathematical model to describe the random process of cancer metastasis and predict the drug effect of QAP14 on metastasis in a mouse model. The data of lung metastases on the 22^(nd) day after cancer cell implantation with or without the treatment of QAP14, a new chemical compound, were collected in 4T1 breast cancer BALB/c mice. Based on the exponential growth of the primary tumor and metastatic loci, a joint distribution model of metastasis size and number was developed. Disease progression of metastasis and preclinical efficacy of QAP14 were modeled. Parameters M and m representing maximum and minimum of metastasis volume were 3.24 and 0.0184 mm^(3), respectively. The metastasis growth rate γ and metastasis promotion time ρ were estimated and fixed to be 0.0216 d^(-1) and 7.8 d, respectively. The efficacy of QAP14 acted on metastasis promotion time and metastasis growth rate constant in an exponential term, and the effect parameter Effectρ and Effectγ were 16.6 and 0.327 g/mg, respectively. In the present study, we comprehensively characterized the random process of lung metastasis and efficacy of QAP14 in 4T1 breast cancer mice, which might provide a useful reference for the establishment of a clinical population model of cancer metastasis.展开更多

Understanding the pros and cons for different choices of model category, representation, time handling etc. will help the modeller to select the most appropriate type of model for a given purpose and population system under study. By understanding the rules for consistent population modelling, an appropriate model can be created in a systematic way and a number of pitfalls can be avoided.

文摘Cancer metastasis is a process with multi-step complexity and apparent randomness. In this study, we aimed to establish a stochastic mathematical model to describe the random process of cancer metastasis and predict the drug effect of QAP14 on metastasis in a mouse model. The data of lung metastases on the 22^(nd) day after cancer cell implantation with or without the treatment of QAP14, a new chemical compound, were collected in 4T1 breast cancer BALB/c mice. Based on the exponential growth of the primary tumor and metastatic loci, a joint distribution model of metastasis size and number was developed. Disease progression of metastasis and preclinical efficacy of QAP14 were modeled. Parameters M and m representing maximum and minimum of metastasis volume were 3.24 and 0.0184 mm^(3), respectively. The metastasis growth rate γ and metastasis promotion time ρ were estimated and fixed to be 0.0216 d^(-1) and 7.8 d, respectively. The efficacy of QAP14 acted on metastasis promotion time and metastasis growth rate constant in an exponential term, and the effect parameter Effectρ and Effectγ were 16.6 and 0.327 g/mg, respectively. In the present study, we comprehensively characterized the random process of lung metastasis and efficacy of QAP14 in 4T1 breast cancer mice, which might provide a useful reference for the establishment of a clinical population model of cancer metastasis.
