Torsion Physics: A View from the Trenches
It is difficult to talk about what torsion really is. In most of my activities that involve reviewing technical papers, I always ask authors to expand upon their views or definitions on certain terms to make sure that I understand what they are really talking about. That may sound like a trivial comment or requirement but it can lead to interesting conversations when people learn that they may ...
متن کاملThe Physics, Chemical Physics, and Biological Physics of the Origin of Life on Earth
This article illustrates the possible application of homeokinetics to the constructive process of the origin of life. The homeokinetic strategy is to seek out cycles at all time scales in a system where they can be discovered (spectroscopy) and to show how interacting cyclic processes can account for historical emergence of new entities, many of which also are cyclic processes. The full story o...
متن کاملTeaching Biological Physics
© 2005 American Institute of Physics, S-0031-9228-0503-030-9 O the past few years, people trained in physics and working in physics departments have taken an unprecedented interest in biological problems. A host of new experimental and theoretical techniques has opened up the quantitative study of systems ranging from single molecules to networks of simple agents performing complex collective t...
متن کاملStatistical Physics of Biological Evolution
This is an extended abstract of lectures delivered at the 4th Warsaw Summer School on Statistical Physics in Kazimierz Dolny, June 25-July 2, 2011. The mathematical theory of evolution is concerned with the changes in the genetic composition of populations that occur under the influence of the evolutionary forces of selection, mutation and demographic noise. In its focus on noisy, collective be...
متن کاملINSTITUTE OF PHYSICS IPHYS Seminar in Biological and Statistical Physics
The adenylate cyclase toxin (CyaA, 1706 residues) plays an essential role in the early stages of respiratory tract colonization by Bordetella pertussis, the causative agent of whooping cough. The cell intoxication process, which is still poorly understood, involves a unique mechanism of translocation of the CyaA catalytic domain (AC) directly across the plasma membrane of target cells. Once in ...
