  2. Scientific modelling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_modelling

    Scientific modelling is an activity that produces models representing empirical objects, phenomena, and physical processes, to make a particular part or feature of the world easier to understand, define, quantify, visualize, or simulate. It requires selecting and identifying relevant aspects of a situation in the real world and then developing ...

  3. List of model organisms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_model_organisms

    Oryza sativa (Rice) is used as a model for cereal biology. It has one of the smallest genomes of any cereal species, and sequencing of its genome is finished. [16] (Agronomy, Molecular biology) Physcomitrella patens. Populus, genus used as a model in forest genetics and woody plant studies. It has a small genome size, grows very rapidly, and is ...

  4. Model organism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_organism

    Escherichia coli is a gram-negative prokaryotic model organism Drosophila melanogaster, one of the most famous subjects for genetics experiments Saccharomyces cerevisiae, one of the most intensively studied eukaryotic model organisms in molecular and cell biology. A model organism is a non-human species that is extensively studied to understand ...

  5. Modelling biological systems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modelling_biological_systems

    Modelling biological systems is a significant task of systems biology and mathematical biology. [ a ] Computational systems biology [ b ] [ 1 ] aims to develop and use efficient algorithms , data structures , visualization and communication tools with the goal of computer modelling of biological systems.

  6. Biomimetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomimetics

    Biomimetics or biomimicry is the emulation of the models, systems, and elements of nature for the purpose of solving complex human problems. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] The terms "biomimetics" and "biomimicry" are derived from Ancient Greek : βίος ( bios ), life, and μίμησις ( mīmēsis ), imitation, from μιμεῖσθαι ( mīmeisthai ...

  7. Modeling and simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modeling_and_simulation

    Models can be composed of different units (models at finer granularity) linked to achieving a specific goal; for this reason they can be also called modeling solutions. More generally, modeling and simulation is a key enabler for systems engineering activities as the system representation in a computer readable (and possibly executable) model ...

  8. Species distribution modelling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Species_Distribution_Modelling

    The extent to which such modelled data reflect real-world species distributions will depend on a number of factors, including the nature, complexity, and accuracy of the models used and the quality of the available environmental data layers; the availability of sufficient and reliable species distribution data as model input; and the influence ...

  9. Generative science - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generative_science

    Generative science is an area of research that explores the natural world and its complex behaviours. It explores ways "to generate apparently unanticipated and infinite behaviour based on deterministic and finite rules and parameters reproducing or resembling the behavior of natural and social phenomena".
