Mathematical Models for Physiology
10:30 AM-12:30 PM
Rio Mar 10
This minisymposium presents a collection of works on mathematical models for physiology. The speakers will
discuss the development of models as well as their mathematical analysis and computational aspects. They
will present research on spectral analysis for the model equations of a particular renal mechanism,
parallel algorithms for solving model equations that describe the mammalian kidney, a fluid-mechanical model of the
mobility of microorganism, and the mathematical processing of diffusion tensor magnetic images.
