a parallel deterioration in brain function, notably in the ability to remember. Amyloid beta (Aβ) denotes peptides of 36–43 amino acids that are crucially involved in Alzheimer's disease as the main component of the amyloid plaques found in the brains of Alzheimer patients. The peptides result from the amyloid precursor protein (APP), which is being cut by certain enzymes to yield Aβ. Study has shown that Beta amyloid begins life as a solitary molecule but tends to bunch up , initially into small

Selección de distribuciones de probabilidad Para llevar a cabo una simulación usando variables aleatorias como tiempos entre llegadas o tiempos de servicio, es necesario especificar su distribución de probabilidad. Una vez que las distribuciones de probabilidad han sido especificadas, la simulación a través del tiempo generará variables aleatorias a partir de estas distribuciones. Las distribuciones de probabilidad más usadas en simulación pueden ser divididas de la siguiente manera:
