Why complex systems engineering needs biological development
Here we shall discuss the need of Complex Systems Engineering to adopt principles from natural development of complex biological organisms—besides principles of natural evolution—to acomplish the type of performance that biology achieves regularly. We shall situate Complex Systems Engineering and discuss an example of how it could be employed. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Complexity 13:12–21,...
متن کاملAbsolute Net Charge and the Biological Activity of Oligopeptides
Sequences of human proteins are frequently prepared as synthetic oligopeptides to assess their functional ability to act as compounds modulating pathways involving the parent protein. Our objective was to analyze a set of oligopeptides, to determine if their solubility or activity correlated with features of their primary sequence, or with features of properties inferred from three-dimensional ...
متن کاملBiological Adaptation in Human Societies: a ‘basic Needs’ Approach
The ground-zero premise (so to speak) of the biological sciences is the assumption that survival and reproduction is the basic, continuing, inescapable problem for all living organisms; life is at bottom a “survival enterprise.” Whatever may be our perceptions, aspirations, or illusions, this tap-root assumption is applicable to the human species as well. Survival is the “paradigmatic problem” ...
متن کاملNeeds for biological risk assessment in interspecies extrapolation.
This paper suggests that not all chemicals shown to be carcinogenic in animals may exert this effect in humans exposed to much lower amounts of the chemical. It is possible that agents which differ in their effects in humans and animals may be identified through the application of Biological Risk Assessment to the experimental results. Chemicals tested in systems in which untreated animals deve...
متن کاملBiological Responses to Engineered Nanomaterials: Needs for the Next Decade
The interaction of nanomaterials with biomolecules, cells, and organisms is an enormously vital area of current research, with applications in nanoenabled diagnostics, imaging agents, therapeutics, and contaminant removal technologies. Yet the potential for adverse biological and environmental impacts of nanomaterial exposure is considerable and needs to be addressed to ensure sustainable devel...
