商品描述

Multiple myeloma is a form of bone cancer. Specifically, it is a cancer of the plasma cells found in bone marrow (bone soft tissue). Normal plasma cells are an important part of the immune system.

Mathematical models for multiple myeloma based on ordinary and partial differential equations (ODE/PDEs) are presented in this book, starting with a basic ODE model in Chapter 1, and concluding with a detailed ODE/PDE model in Chapter 4 that gives the spatiotemporal distribution of four dependent variable components in the bone marrow and peripheral blood: (1) protein produced by multiple myeloma cells, termed the M protein, (2) cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), (3) natural killer (NK) cells, and (4) regulatory T cells (Tregs).

The computer-based implementation of the example models is presented through routines coded (programmed) in R, a quality, open-source scientific computing system that is readily available from the Internet. Formal mathematics is minimized, e.g., no theorems and proofs. Rather, the presentation is through detailed examples that the reader/researcher/analyst can execute on modest computers using the R routines that are available through a download. The PDE analysis is based on the method of lines (MOL), an established general algorithm for PDEs, implemented with finite differences.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

多發性骨髓瘤是一種骨癌。具體來說,它是骨髓(骨頭的軟組織)中漿細胞的癌症。正常的漿細胞是免疫系統的重要組成部分。

本書介紹了基於常微分方程(ODE)和偏微分方程(PDE)的多發性骨髓瘤數學模型,從第一章的基本ODE模型開始,並在第四章結束時提供一個詳細的ODE/PDE模型,該模型給出了骨髓和外周血中四個依賴變量組件的時空分佈:(1)由多發性骨髓瘤細胞產生的蛋白質,稱為M蛋白,(2)細胞毒性T淋巴細胞(CTLs),(3)自然殺手(NK)細胞,以及(4)調節性T細胞(Tregs)。

示例模型的計算機實現通過用R編寫的例程呈現,R是一個高品質的開源科學計算系統,可以輕鬆從互聯網獲得。正式的數學內容被最小化,例如,沒有定理和證明。相反,通過詳細的示例進行展示,讀者/研究者/分析師可以在普通計算機上執行這些示例,使用可通過下載獲得的R例程。PDE分析基於線法(MOL),這是一種已建立的PDE通用算法,使用有限差分法實現。
