Statistical Mechanics Ideas and Techniques Applied to Selected Problems in Ecology
Ecosystem dynamics provides an interesting arena for the application of a plethora concepts and techniques from statistical mechanics. Here I review three examples corresponding each one to an important problem in ecology. First, I start with an analytical derivation of clumpy patterns for species relative abundances (SRA) empirically observed in several ecological communities involving a high ...
متن کاملIdeas by Statistical Mechanics (ISM)
Ideas by Statistical Mechanics (ISM) is a generic program to model evolution and propagation of ideas/patterns throughout populations subjected to endogenous and exogenous interactions. The program is based on the author’s work in Statistical Mechanics of Neocortical Interactions (SMNI), and uses the author’s Adaptive Simulated Annealing (ASA) code for optimizations of training sets, as well as...
متن کاملAI and Ideas by Statistical Mechanics
A briefing (Allen, 2004) demonstrates the breadth and depth complexity required to address real diplomatic, information, military, economic (DIME) factors for the propagation/evolution of ideas through defined populations. An open mind would conclude that it is possible that multiple approaches may be required for multiple decision makers in multiple scenarios. However, it is in the interests o...
متن کاملStatistical mechanics applied to cooperative ligand binding to proteins.
By using the lattice statistical argument, we have shown that for a protein whose subunits have the same number of neighbors, the three parameters (K(AB), K(BB), and K(S)K(t)) in the sequential theory formulated by Koshland, Nemethy, and Filmer [Biochemistry (1966) 5, 365] can be reduced to two parameters. One of the parameters, Z, measures the strength of the subunit interactions and is relate...
