Statistical mechanics model of angiogenic tumor growth.
We examine a lattice model of tumor growth where the survival of tumor cells depends on the supplied nutrients. When such a supply is random, the extinction of tumors belongs to the directed percolation universality class. However, when the supply is correlated with the distribution of tumor cells, which as we suggest might mimic the angiogenic growth, the extinction shows different critical be...
متن کاملVon Neumann's growth model: statistical mechanics and biological applications
We review recent work on the statistical mechanics of Von Neumann’s growth model and discuss its application to cellular metabolic networks. In this context, we present a detailed analysis of the physiological scenario underlying optimality à la Von Neumann in the metabolism of the bacterium E. coli, showing that optimal solutions are characterized by a considerable microscopic flexibility acco...
متن کاملAN ACCURATE SOLUTION FOR THE TWODIMENSIONAL MODEL OF ALBITE USING STATISTICAL MECHANICS
A two-dimensional model of Al, Si ordering in alkali feldspar is formulated and used to calcul~tea ccurately the configurational entropy for the model. For this purpose, a new method called Independent Basic Unit or IBU is introduced. To compare the results with the exact values, this method is applied to the onedimensional model of albite. The results given by IBU are found to be accurate ...
متن کاملGravitational Statistical Mechanics: a Model
Using the quantum Hamiltonian for a gravitational system with boundary, we find the partition function and derive the resulting thermody-namics. The Hamiltonian, and starting point for this calculation, is the boundary term required by functional differentiability of the action for Lorentzian general relativity. In this model, states of quantum geometry are represented by spin networks. We show...
متن کاملStatistical mechanics of helical wormlike chain model.
We investigate the statistical mechanics of polymers with bending and torsional elasticity described by the helical wormlike model. Noticing that the energy function is factorizable, we provide a numerical method to solve the model using a transfer matrix formulation. The tangent-tangent and binormal-binormal correlation functions have been calculated and displayed rich profiles which are sensi...
