Homeostasis and heterostasis: from invariant to dimensionless numbers.
In the present paper we have examined the applicability of dimensionless and invariant numbers (DN & IN) to the analysis of the cardiovascular system of mammals, whose functions were measured at standard metabolic conditions. The calculated IN did not change when we compared these figures with those obtained in dogs while they were submitted to graded exercise on a treadmill. In both instances,...
متن کاملInvariant Measures for Real Analytic Expanding Maps
Let X be a compact connected subset of Rd with non-empty interior, and T : X → X a real analytic full branch expanding map with countably many branches. Elements of a thermodynamic formalism for such systems are developed, including criteria for compactness of transfer operators acting on spaces of bounded holomorphic functions. In particular a new sufficient condition for the existence of a T ...
متن کاملInvariant Peano Curves of Expanding Thurston Maps
We consider Thurston maps, i.e., branched covering maps f : S → S that are postcritically finite. It is shown that a Thurston map f is expanding (in a suitable sense) if and only if some iterate F = f is semi-conjugate to z : S → S, where d = deg F . More precisely, for such an F we construct a Peano curve γ : S → S (onto), such that F ◦ γ(z) = γ(z) (for all z ∈ S).
متن کاملScale-invariant growth processes in expanding space.
Many growth processes lead to intriguing stochastic patterns and complex fractal structures which exhibit local scale invariance properties. Such structures can often be described effectively by space-time trajectories of interacting particles, and their large scale behavior depends on the overall growth geometry. We establish an exact relation between statistical properties of structures in un...
متن کاملA dimensionless invariant for relative size at sex change in animals: explanation and implications.
Recent comparative studies across sex-changing animals have found that the relative size and age at sex change are strikingly invariant. In particular, 91%-97% of the variation in size at sex change across species can be explained by the simple rule that individuals change sex when they reach 72% of their maximum body size. However, this degree of invariance is surprising and has proved controv...
