• Qualitative and semi quantitative systems approaches to complex systems modelling – Intuitive and flexible models of biological systems 

  Alsharaiah, Mohammad (Lincoln University, 2018)

  Biological systems such as cell cycle are complex systems consisting of an enormous number of elements. These elements interact in ways that produce nonlinear and complex systems behaviour such as oscillations. A number ...
