  • Exploratory Modelling and the Case of Turing Patterns
    to appear in: Christian, A., Hommen, D., Retzlaff, N., Schurz, G. (Eds.): Philosophy of Science. Between the Natural Sciences, the Social Sciences, and the Humanities, New York: Springer 2018. Models in Search of Targets: Exploratory Modelling and the Case of Turing Patterns Axel Gelfert Department of Philosophy, Literature, History of Science & Technology Technical University of Berlin Straße des 17. Juni 135, 10623 Berlin email: [email protected] Abstract Traditional frameworks for evaluating scientific models have tended to downplay their exploratory function; instead they emphasize how models are inherently intended for specific phenomena and are to be judged by their ability to predict, reproduce, or explain empirical observations. By contrast, this paper argues that exploration should stand alongside explanation, prediction, and representation as a core function of scientific models. Thus, models often serve as starting points for future inquiry, as proofs of principle, as sources of potential explanations, and as a tool for reassessing the suitability of the target system (and sometimes of whole research agendas). This is illustrated by a case study of the varied career of reaction- diffusion models in the study of biological pattern formation, which was initiated by Alan Turing in a classic 1952 paper. Initially regarded as mathematically elegant, but biologically irrelevant, demonstrations of how, in principle, spontaneous pattern formation could occur in an organism, such Turing models have only recently rebounded, thanks to advances in experimental techniques and computational methods. The long-delayed vindication of Turing’s initial model, it is argued, is best explained by recognizing it as an exploratory tool (rather than as a purported representation of an actual target system).

They play a pivotal role not only in physiological development f angiogenesis and growth and tissue and organ repair, but also in a range of pathological conditions, f endothelial cells from tumour formation to chronic inflammation and atherosclerosis. Understanding the f 3D assays multistep cell-differentiation programmes and identifying the key molecular players of physiological angiogenesis/vasculogenesis are critical to tackle pathological mechanisms. While many questions are yet to be answered, increasingly sophisticated in vitro, in vivo and ex vivo models of angiogenesis/vasculogenesis, together with cutting-edge imaging techniques, allowed for recent major advances in the field. This review aims to summarise the three-dimensional models available to study vascular network formation and to discuss advantages and limitations of the current systems.

He was highly influential in the development of computer science, giving a formalisation of the concepts of "algorithm" and "computation" with the Turing machine, which can be considered a model of a general purpose computer.[1][2][3] Turing is widely considered to be the father of computer science and artificial intelligence.[4] During World War II, Turing worked for the Government Code and Cypher School (GC&CS) at Bletchley Park, Britain's codebreaking centre. For a time he was head of Hut 8, the section responsible for German naval cryptanalysis. He devised a number of techniques for breaking German ciphers, including the method of the bombe, an electromechanical machine that could find settings for the Enigma machine.

  • According to Turing, a Kinetic System with Two Or More Morphogenes And
    Turing Instabilities and Patterns Near a Hopf Bifurcation Rui Dilão Grupo de Dinâmica Não-Linear, Instituto Superior Técnico, Av. Rovisco Pais, 1049-001 Lisboa, Portugal. and Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques, 35, route de Chartres, 91440, Bures-sur-Yvette, France. [email protected] Phone: +(351) 218417617; Fax: +(351) 218419123 Abstract We derive a necessary and sufficient condition for Turing instabilities to occur in two- component systems of reaction-diffusion equations with Neumann boundary conditions. We apply this condition to reaction-diffusion systems built from vector fields with one fixed point and a supercritical Hopf bifurcation. For the Brusselator and the Ginzburg- Landau reaction-diffusion equations, we obtain the bifurcation diagrams associated with the transition between time periodic solutions and asymptotically stable solutions (Turing patterns). In two-component systems of reaction-diffusion equations, we show that the existence of Turing instabilities is neither necessary nor sufficient for the existence of Turing pattern type solutions. Turing patterns can exist on both sides of the Hopf bifurcation associated to the local vector field, and, depending on the initial conditions, time periodic and stable solutions can coexist. Keywords: Turing instability, Turing patterns, Hopf bifurcation, Brusselator, Ginzburg- Landau. 1 1-Introduction A large number of real systems are modeled by non-linear reaction-diffusion equations. These systems show dynamic features resembling wave type phenomena, propagating solitary pulses and packets of pulses, stable patterns and turbulent or chaotic space and time behavior. For example, in the study of the dispersal of a population with a logistic type local law of growth, Kolmogorov, Petrovskii and Piscunov, [1], introduced a nonlinear reaction- diffusion equation with a solitary front type solution, propagating with finite velocity.

Beyond Turing: Far-from-equilibrium patterns and mechano-chemical feedback Frits Veerman,* Moritz Mercker†and Anna Marciniak-Czochra‡ Abstract Turing patterns are commonly understood as specific instabilities of a spatially homogeneous steady state, resulting from activator-inhibitor interaction destabilised by diffusion. We argue that this view is restrictive and its agreement with biological observations is problematic. We present two alternative to the ‘classical’ Turing analysis of patterns. First, we employ the abstract framework of evolution equations to enable the study of far-from-equilibrium patterns. Second, we introduce a mechano-chemical model, with the surface on which the pattern forms being dynamic and playing an active role in the pattern formation, effectively replacing the inhibitor. We highlight the advantages of these two alternatives vis- à-vis the ‘classical’ Turing analysis, and give an overview of recent results and future challenges for both approaches. Keywords: pattern formation, evolution equations, reaction-diffusion, mechano-chemical models, far-from-equilibrium patterns 1 Introduction The prevailing ‘Turing theory’ of pattern formation in biology, and treatment of associated ‘Turing pat- terns’, can be traced to the work of Hans Meinhardt, germinating from his seminal paper with Alfred Gierer [1]. While Turing in his pioneering paper [2] introduced the framework of reaction-diffusion equations, and the different scenarios in which pattern-like solutions can occur, Gierer and Meinhardt took a distinctly more ‘modelling’ point of view.
