In contrast to other models, this model does not involve delay differential equations and is based on deterministic modelling of the GnRH pulse pattern, which allows for faster simulation times and efficient parameter identification. These steps were essential to tackle the task of developing a mathematical model for the administration of GnRH analogues. The focus of this paper is on model development for GnRH receptor binding and the integration of a pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic model for the GnRH agonist Nafarelin and the GnRH antagonist Cetrorelix into the menstrual cycle model. The final mathematical model describes the hormone profiles (LH, FSH, P4, E2) throughout the menstrual cycle in 12 healthy women. Moreover, it correctly predicts the changes in the cycle following single and multiple dose administration of Nafarelin or Cetrorelix at different stages in the cycle. 2011 urn:nbn:de:0297-zib-12732 Numerical Mathematics OPUS4-1270 misc Dierkes, Thomas; Wade, Moritz; Nowak, Ulrich; Röblitz, Susanna BioPARKIN - Biology-related Parameter Identification in Large Kinetic Networks Modelling, parameter identification, and simulation play an important rôle in Systems Biology. In recent years, various software packages have been established for scientific use in both licencing types, open source as well as commercial. Many of these codes are based on inefficient and mathematically outdated algorithms. By introducing the package BioPARKIN recently developed at ZIB, we want to improve this situation significantly. The development of the software BioPARKIN involves long standing mathematical ideas that, however, have not yet entered the field of Systems Biology, as well as new ideas and tools that are particularly important for the analysis of the dynamics of biological networks. BioPARKIN originates from the package PARKIN, written by P.Deuflhard and U.Nowak, that has been applied successfully for parameter identification in physical chemistry for many years. 2011 urn:nbn:de:0297-zib-12706 Numerical Mathematics OPUS4-5676 misc Dierkes, Thomas Construction of ODE systems from time series data by a highly flexible modelling approach In this paper, a down-to-earth approach to purely data-based modelling of unknown dynamical systems is presented. Starting from a classical, explicit ODE formulation y=f(t,y) of a dynamical system, a method determining the unknown right-hand side f(t,y) from some trajectory data y_k(t_j), possibly very sparse, is given. As illustrative examples, a semi-standard predator-prey model is reconstructed from a data set describing the population numbers of hares and lynxes over a period of twenty years [1], and a simple damped pendulum system with a highly non-linear right-hand side is recovered from some artificial but very sparse data [2]. 2015 urn:nbn:de:0297-zib-56768 Numerical Mathematics OPUS4-1168 misc Boer, H. Marike T.; Stötzel, Claudia; Röblitz, Susanna; Deuflhard, Peter; Veerkamp, Roel F.; Woelders, Henri A simple mathematical model of the bovine estrous cycle: follicle development and endocrine interactions Bovine fertility is the subject of extensive research in animal sciences, especially because fertility of dairy cows has declined during the last decades. The regulation of estrus is controlled by the complex interplay of various organs and hormones. Mathematical modeling of the bovine estrous cycle could help in understanding the dynamics of this complex biological system. In this paper we present a mathematical model of the bovine estrous cycle that includes the processes of follicle and corpus luteum development and the key hormones that interact to control these processes. Focus in this paper is on development of the model, but also some simulation results are presented, showing that a set of equations and parameters is obtained that describes the system consistent with empirical knowledge. Even though the majority of the mechanisms that are included are only known qualitatively as stimulatory or inhibitory effects, the model surprisingly well features quantitative observations made in reality. This model of the bovine estrous cycle could be used as a basis for more elaborate models with the ability to study effects of external manipulations and genetic differences. 2010 urn:nbn:de:0297-zib-11682 Numerical Mathematics
