Geometry of the universe and its relation to entropy and information
Haranas, Ioannis; Gkigkitzis, Ioannis (2013-09-16)In an effort to investigate a possible relation between geometry and information, we establish a relation of the Ricci scalar in the Robertson-Walker metric of the cosmological Friedmann model to the number of information ... -
An Information-Theoretic Approach to Cellular Decision-Making Strategies: How Rate Distortion Theory Provides an Optimal Method for Describing Binary Cellular Decision-Making Systems
Mangum, Joshua, B. (2014)Rate distortion theory, a branch of information theory, was originally developed to help improve the efficiency of data transmission in telecommunications. It's currently being used as a major modeling method to provide ... -
Mathematical Modeling of Oxygen Transport, Cell Killing and Cell Decision Making in Photodynamic Therapy of Cancer
Gkigkitzis, Ioannis (East Carolina University, 2012)In this study we present a model of in vitro cell killing through type II Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) for simulation of the molecular interactions leading to cell death in time domain in the presence of oxygen transport ... -
Theoretical aspects and modelling of cellular decision making, cell killing and information-processing in photodynamic therapy of cancer
Gkigkitzis, Ioannis (2013-09-03)Background: The aim of this report is to provide a mathematical model of the mechanism for making binary fate decisions about cell death or survival, during and after Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) treatment, and to supply the ... -
