Energy systems transformation.
The contemporary industrial metabolism is not sustainable. Critical problems arise at both the input and the output side of the complex: Although affordable fossil fuels and mineral resources are declining, the waste products of the current production and consumption schemes (especially CO(2) emissions, particulate air pollution, and radioactive residua) cause increasing environmental and socia...
متن کاملCooperativity in biological systems
Living organisms can sense and respond to external and internal stimuli. Response isdemonstrated in many forms including modulation of gene expression profiles, motility,secretion, cell death, etc. Nevertheless, all forms share a basic property: they depend on sensingsmall changes in the concentration of an effector molecule or subtle conformational changes ina protein and invoking the appropri...
متن کاملOn the energy transfer in biological systems.
It seems likely that in various biological systems energy consuming chemical reactions are coupled to delocalized states of energy. Let us suppose that the circles in Figure 1 represent an aggregate of, say, 100 molecules to which we communicate an energy quant. We suppose one of the molecules, labeled m, to be close to another molecule or molecular aggregate S, which will eventually use the en...
متن کاملRenormalization Group Transformation for Hamiltonian Dynamical Systems in Biological Networks
We apply the renormalization group theory to the dynamical systems with the simplest example of basic biological motifs. This includes the interpretation of complex networks as the perturbation to simple network. This is the first step to build our original framework to infer the properties of biological networks, and the basis work to see its effectiveness to actual complex systems.
متن کاملA Free Energy Principle for Biological Systems
This paper describes a free energy principle that tries to explain the ability of biological systems to resist a natural tendency to disorder. It appeals to circular causality of the sort found in synergetic formulations of self-organization (e.g., the slaving principle) and models of coupled dynamical systems, using nonlinear Fokker Planck equations. Here, circular causality is induced by sepa...
