As biochemical networks become more popular, the number of deterministic simulation tools grows rapidly. Although most of the tools have similar functionality, they may differ in their algorithms and capabilities. Therefore, in this thesis, we aim to first present the major simulation tools with their underlying algorithms, and then compare them with respect to some attributes. In the application part, the biochemical networks under different dimensions are simulated and their performances are evaluated. Lastly, we add impulses to the deterministic simulations of the biochemical systems accounting for the external abrupt changes which can be seen in many natural processes. Here we suggest two major scenarios namely, impulses of fixed time and impulses at fixed states. We consider that introducing and comparing the capacities of each tool in terms of the simulation, inference or visualization of the different types of biological networks, their supported algorithms and the features of these algorithms as well as the mathematical background in all these calculations can be helpful for the researchers when they choose the most appropriate tool for their analyses

A new approach to mathematical water quality modeling in reservoirs: Neural networks Karul, C; Soyupak, S; Germen, E (1998-01-01) Neural Networks are becoming more and more valuable tools for system modeling and function approximation as computing power of microcomputers increase. Modeling of complex ecological systems such as reservoir limnology is very difficult since the ecological interactions within a reservoir are difficult to define mathematically and are usually system specific. To illustrate the potential use of Neural Networks in ecological modeling, a software was developed to train the data from Keban Dam Reservoir by back...
Stochastic modelling of biochemical networks and inference of modelparameters Purutçuoğlu Gazi, Vilda (null, Springer, 2018-01-01) There are many approaches to model the biochemical systems deterministically or stochastically. In deterministic approaches, we aim to describe the steady-state behaviours of the system, whereas, under stochastic models, we present the random nature of the system, for instance, during transcription or translation processes. Here, we represent the stochastic modelling approaches of biological networks and explain in details the inference of the model parameters within the Bayesian framework.
Case studies on the use of neural networks in eutrophication modeling Karul, C; Soyupak, S; Cilesiz, AF; Akbay, N; Germen, E (2000-10-30) Artificial neural networks are becoming more and more common to be used in development of prediction models for complex systems as the theory behind them develops and the processing power of computers increase. A three layer Levenberg-Marquardt feedforward learning algorithm was used to model the eutrophication process in three water bodies of Turkey (Keban Dam Reservoir, Mogan and Eymir Lakes). Despite the very complex and peculiar nature of Keban Dam, a relatively good correlation (correlation coefficient...
WEIGHTED MATRIX ORDERING AND PARALLEL BANDED PRECONDITIONERS FOR ITERATIVE LINEAR SYSTEM SOLVERS Manguoğlu, Murat; Sameh, Ahmed H.; Grama, Ananth (Society for Industrial & Applied Mathematics (SIAM), 2010-01-01) The emergence of multicore architectures and highly scalable platforms motivates the development of novel algorithms and techniques that emphasize concurrency and are tolerant of deep memory hierarchies, as opposed to minimizing raw FLOP counts. While direct solvers are reliable, they are often slow and memory-intensive for large problems. Iterative solvers, on the other hand, are more efficient but, in the absence of robust preconditioners, lack reliability. While preconditioners based on incomplete factor...
Application of impulsive deterministic simulation of biochemical networks via simulation tools Purutçuoğlu Gazi, Vilda (2017-01-01) In order to understand the possible behaviour of biochemical networks, deterministic and stochastic simulation methods have been developed. However in some cases, these methods should be broaden. For oxii.rupie, if the biochemical system is subjected to the unexpected effects causing abrupt changes in the network, the ordinary simulation algorithms cannot capture these impulsive expressions. In 1.1) is study, we select, 1.1 ic simulations lools. specifically, CO PA ST and Systems Biology Toolbox for MATLAR ...
