Matrix models advantages

The micromechanical equations of Halpin and Kardos [8,9] (historically referred to as the Halpin-Tsai equations) and of Chow [5] are particularly useful and versatile. The Halpin-Tsai equations have the advantage of simplicity. See Equation 20.1 for the lamellar fiber-reinforced matrix model , one of several useful forms in which these equations have been expressed. Af...

The advantage of stochastic matrix models over deterministic models is that stochastic models can give you probabilities of extinction, risk of decline, and probability of recovery. Furthermore, they are more realistic than deterministic models because factors such as carrying capacities, competition, and immigration can also be incorporated.

Given the first type of simulation, it is advantageous to be able to design a system of RO modules that can achieve the process objective at a minimal cost. A model has been iategrated iato a process simulation program to predict the stream matrix for a reverse osmosis process (132). In the area of waste minimization, the proper placement of RO modules is essential for achieving minimum waste at a minimum cost. Excellent details on how to create an optimal network of RO modules is available (96). 

The obvious advantage is that the steady-state solution of an S-system model is accessible analytically. However, while the drastic reduction of complexity can be formally justified by a (logarithmic) expansion of the rate equation, it forsakes the interpretability of the involved parameters. The utilization of basic biochemical interrelations, such as an interpretation of fluxes in terms of a nullspace matrix is no longer possible. Rather, an incorporation of flux-balance constraints would result in complicated and unintuitive dependencies among the kinetic parameters. Furthermore, it must be emphasized that an S-system model does not necessarily result in a reduced number of reactions. Quite on the contrary, the number of reactions r = 2m usually exceeds the value found in typical metabolic networks.
