Modeling Random Binomial Rabbit Hops Kazak, Sibel (2010-01-01) Six fourth-grade students engaged in data modeling to make sense of the pattern of variability in binomial distributions. The students modeled five random rabbit-hops by tossing a fair coin to determine the most likely locations of the rabbits along a number line ranging from -5 to +5. To make sense of their empirical distributions, the students generated inscriptions of "paths" showing the possible ways to get to each final location and used these both to prove why certain locations were impossible and why...

Modeling nucleus accumbens: A Computational Model from Single Cell to Circuit Level Elibol, Rahmi; Şengör, Neslihan Serap (2021-02-01) © 2020, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.Nucleus accumbens is part of the neural structures required for reward based learning and cognitive processing of motivation. Understanding its cellular dynamics and its role in basal ganglia circuits is important not only in diagnosing behavioral disorders and psychiatric problems as addiction and depression but also for developing therapeutic treatments for them. Building a computational model would expand our comprehension of nucleus a...
Modeling biogeochemical dynamics in porous media: Practical considerations of pore scale variability, reaction networks, and microbial population dynamics in a sandy aquifer King, E. L.; Tuncay, Kağan; Ortoleva, P.; Meile, C. (Elsevier BV, 2010-03-01) Prediction of the fate and environmental impacts of groundwater contaminants requires the identification of relevant biogeochemical processes and necessitates the macroscopic representation of microbial activity occurring at the microscale. Using a well-studied sandy aquifer environment, we evaluate the importance of pore distribution on organic matter respiration in a porous medium environment by performing spatially explicit simulations of microbial metabolism at the sub-millimeter scale. Model results us...
Modeling neurons that can self organize into building blocks and hierarchies : an exploration based on visual systems Polat, Aydın Göze; Çakır, Murat Perit; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2012) Cell-cell and cell-environment interactions are controlled by a set of local rules that dictate cell behavior. With such local rules, emergence of computationally meaningful building blocks and hierarchies can be observed. For example, at the cellular level organization in the visual system, receptive field of a retinal ganglion cell displays an activation inhibition behavior that can be modeled as Mexican Hat wavelet or Difference of Gaussians. This precise organization is the product of a harmonious colla...
