Modeling and Parameter Estimation in Respiratory Control

Booknews

Presents respiratory physiologists and clinical researchers with the current methodologies in mathematical modelling, experiment design, and data analysis in the study of the body's control of breathing. Also presents challenges to modelers from the recent findings in experimental research. The overall topics of the 20 papers are the modeling of respiratory control during exercise, empirical models and parameter estimation of the chemical control of ventilation, neural control and breathing pattern analysis, and sleep and respiratory control stability.
