Abduction and induction for learning models of inhibition in metabolic networks
(2005)This paper describes the use of a mixture of abduction and induction for the temporal modelling of the effects of toxins in metabolic networks. Background knowledge is used which describes network topology and functional ...

Application of abductive ILP to learning metabolic network inhibition from temporal data
(2006)In this paper we use a logic-based representation and a combination of Abduction and Induction to model inhibition in metabolic networks. In general, the integration of abduction and induction is required when the following ...

The effect of plasma homocysteine levels on clinical outcomes of patients with acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome
(2009)Background: Several reports have shown that homocysteine promotes thrombosis by disturbing the procoagulant-anticoagulant balance, whereas alterations in coagulation and fibrinolysis have been suggested as important ...

Modelling inhibition in metabolic pathways through abduction and induction
(2004)In this paper, we study how a logical form of scientific modelling that integrates together abduction and induction can be used to understand the functional class of unknown enzymes or inhibitors. We show how we can model, ...
