  • Combined Discrete and Continual Approaches in Biological Modelling

    by Alexander E. Filippov, Stanislav N. Gorb ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Basic laws of nature are rather simple, but observed biological structures and their dynamic behaviors are unbelievably complicated. This book is devoted to a study of this “strange” relationship by applying mathematical modeling to various structures and phenomena in biology, such as surface patterns, bioadhesion, locomotion, predator-prey behavior, seed dispersal, etc. and revealing a kind of ...

    Why is Animal Size so Important?

    by Knut Schmidt-Nielsen ...
    This book is about the importance of animal size. We tend to think of animal function in chemical terms and talk of water, salts, proteins, enzymes, oxygen, energy, and so on. We should not forget, however, that physical laws are equally important, for they determine rates of diffusion and heat transfer, transfer of force and momentum, the strength of structures, the dynamics of locomotion, and ...
