The effect of negative feedback loops on the dynamics of Boolean networks 1 (2009)

Eduardo Sontag, Alan Veliz-cuba, Reinhard Laubenbacher, Abdul Salam Jarrah

Feedback loops play an important role in determining the dynamics of biological networks. In order to study the role of negative feedback loops, this paper introduces the notion of “distance to...

Parameter estimation for Boolean models of biological networks (2009)

Dimitrova, Elena, Garcia-Puente, Luis David, Hinkelmann, Franziska, Jarrah, Abdul S., Laubenbacher, Reinhard, Stigler, Brandilyn, ...

Boolean networks have long been used as models of molecular networks and play an increasingly important role in systems biology. This paper describes a software package, Polynome, offered as a web...

A Graph-theoretic Graph theoretic Method for the Discretization of Gene Expression Measurements (2009)

Elena Dimitrova, John Mcgee, Reinhard Laubenbacher

Applications requiring discrete data: • reverse engineering of gene regulatory networks, • machine learning algorithms,

Reverse Engineering Gene Regulatory Networks (2008)

Ilyn Stigler, Reinhard Laubenbacher

Systems biology aims to integrate biological data to understand biological systems. Mathematical methods are needed to build models of these systems.

The Dynamics of Conjunctive and Disjunctive Boolean Networks (2008)

Jarrah, Abdul Salam, Laubenbacher, Reinhard, Veliz-Cuba, Alan

The relationship between the properties of a dynamical system and the structure of its defining equations has long been studied in many contexts. Here we study this problem for the class of...

BIOINFORMATICS ORIGINAL PAPER doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btm044 Systems biology Simulating Epstein-Barr virus infection with C-ImmSim (2008)

Karen Duca, Abdul Jarrah, Reinhard Laubenbacher, Donna Hochberg, David Thorley-lawson

Motivation: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infects greater than 90 % of humans benignly for life but can be associated with tumors. It is a uniquely human pathogen that is amenable to quantitative...

1 UPDATE SCHEDULES OF SEQUENTIAL DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS (2008)

Reinhard Laubenbacher, Bodo Pareigis

Abstract. Sequential dynamical systems have the property, that the updates of states of individual cells occur sequentially, so that the global update of the system depends on the order of the...

Computer algebra in systems biology (2007)

Laubenbacher, Reinhard, Sturmfels, Bernd

Systems biology focuses on the study of entire biological systems rather than on their individual components. With the emergence of high-throughput data generation technologies for molecular biology...

Lagrange and the Solution of Numerical Equations (2007)

Reinhard Laubenbacher, Gary Mcgrath, David Pengelley

In 1798 J.-L. Lagrange published an extensive book on the solution of numerical equations. Lagrange had developed a general systematic algorithm for detecting, isolating, and approximating all real...

Edith Aguirre, Abdul Salam Jarrah, Reinhard Laubenbacher, Ariel Ortiz-navarro, Rogelio Torrez

Abstract. Let f1; : : : ; fn be homogeneous polynomials generating a generic ideal I in the ring of polynomials in n variables over an infinite field. MorenoSoc ' ias conjectured that for the...

A Virtual Look at Epstein–Barr Virus Infection: Biological Interpretations (2007)

Karen A. Duca, Michael Shapiro, Edgar Delgado-Eckert, Vey Hadinoto, Abdul S. Jarrah, Reinhard Laubenbacher, ...

The possibility of using computer simulation and mathematical modeling to gain insight into biological and other complex systems is receiving increased attention. However, it is as yet unclear to...

Simulating Epstein-Barr virus infection with C-ImmSim (2007)

Castiglione, Filippo, Duca, Karen, Jarrah, Abdul, Laubenbacher, Reinhard, Hochberg, Donna, Thorley-Lawson, David

Motivation: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infects greater than 90% of humans benignly for life but can be associated with tumors. It is a uniquely human pathogen that is amenable to quantitative analysis;...

SIMULATING THE SPREAD OF MALARIA: A CELLULAR AUTOMATON BASED MATHEMATICAL MODEL & A PROTOTYPE SOFTWARE IMPLEMENTATION (2007)

Farid Merchant, Henning S. Mortveit, Chris L. Barrett, Reinhard Laubenbacher, Farid Merchant

Every year three million deaths are attributed to malaria, of which one-third are of children. Malaria is a vector-borne disease, where a mosquito acts as the vector that transmits the disease. In...

“Voici ce que j’ai trouvé: ” Sophie Germain’s grand plan to prove Fermat’s Last Theorem y (2007)

Reinhard Laubenbacher, David Pengelley Z

A study of Sophie Germain’s extensive manuscripts on Fermat’s Last Theorem calls for a reassessment of her work in number theory. There is much in these manuscripts beyond the single theorem for...

The Place of Discrete Mathematics in the School Curriculum: An Analysis of Preservice Teachers ’ Perceptions of the Integration of Discrete Mathematics into Secondary Level Courses (2007)

Olgamary Rivera-marrero, Penny Burge, Carlos Evia, Reinhard Laubenbacher, Olgamary Rivera-marrero

The integration of discrete mathematics into the secondary school curriculum (grades 7-12) is an important consideration because the mathematical area is dynamic and interesting, providing students...
