The Eye-Lens Growth Model Biological lens in the eye of a mammal focuses light on the retina. Its shape and size is crucial for that purpose. We provide the first ever mathematical growth model of the mouse eye-lens and succeed in capturing a variety of behavior about the size of the lens, number of cells
Turing Patterns as a Model for Brain Folding Development Neuroscientists are interested in correlating brain function with anatomy. However, the highly complex folding patterns of the brain and the high variability in folding patterns across individuals contribute to the difficulty in understanding healthy brain function and disease. Interestingly, there is no consensus in neurobiology as
Simplifying Soil Organic Carbon Model Structures with First-Order Linear Decay: When, How, and Why? Soil organic matter is the largest terrestrial pool of carbon on Earth, containing more carbon than terrestrial vegetation and more carbon than even the atmosphere. Most Earth System Models (ESMs), designed to integrate and examine how the interdependent systems of the
