Background Several new programming languages and technologies have emerged in the past few decades in order to ease the task of modelling complex systems.Modelling the dynamics of complex systems requires various levels of abstractions and reductive measures in representing the underlying behaviour.This also often requires making a trade-off betwee
The peripheral naive T-cell pool is generally thought to consist of a subpopulation of recent thymic emigrants (RTEs) and a subpopulation of mature naive (MN) T cells with different dynamics.Thymus transplantation and adoptive transfer studies in mice have provided contradicting results, with some studies suggesting that RTEs are relatively short-l
