Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The development of a proper description of the living world today stands as one of the most significant challenges to physics. A variety of new experimental techniques in molecular biology, microbiol ogy, physiology and other fields of biological research constantly expand our knowledge and enable us to make increasingly more detailed functional and structural descriptions. Over the past decades, the amount and complexity of available information have multiplied dramatically, while at the same time our basic understanding of the nature of regulation, behavior, morphogenesis and evolution in the living world has made only modest progress. A key obstacle is clearly the proper handling of the available data. This requires a stronger emphasis on mathematical modeling through which the consistency of the adopted explanations can be checked, and general princi ples may be extracted. As an even more serious problem, however, it appears that the proper physical concepts for the development of a theoretically oriented biology have not hitherto been available. Classical mechanics and equilibrium thermody namics, for instance, are inappropriate and useless in some of the most essen tial biological contexts. Fortunately, there is now convincing evidence that the concepts and methods of the newly developed fields of nonlinear dynam ics and complex systems theory, combined with irreversible thermodynamics and far-from-equilibrium statistical mechanics will enable us to move ahead with many of these problems.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Networks of coupled oscillators are observed in various domains of science. From physics to economy through biology, they are used to explain how collective behaviour emerges from interacting oscillators. In this book, we study through two specific examples, how biological systems use the distinctive properties of interconnected networks, widely studied in the biophysical science, to propagate informations and regulate vital physiological processes. Our interest focuses on: (1) Extension of the study of the communication via Ca2+ waves to a 1D and a 2D array of cells. (2) Communication through the quorum sensing phenomenon governing the transition from the saprophytes way of life to the infectious cycle for pathogenic bacteria particularly for Dickeya dadantii (Ex Erwinia Chrysanthemi) bacteria.
