Dynamical Aspects of Information in Copolymerization Processes
نویسنده
چکیده
Natural supports of information are given by random copolymers such as DNA or RNA where information is coded in the sequence of covalent bonds. At the molecular scale, the stochastic growth of a single copolymer with or without a template proceeds by successive random attachments or detachments of monomers continuously supplied by the surrounding solution. The thermodynamics of copolymerization shows that fundamental links already exist between information and thermodynamics at the molecular scale, which opens new perspectives to understand the dynamical aspects of information in biology.

Nonequilibrium generation of information in copolymerization processes.
We consider general fluctuating copolymerization processes, with or without underlying templates. The dissipation associated with these nonequilibrium processes turns out to be closely related to the information generated. This shows in particular how information acquisition results from the interplay between stored patterns and dynamical evolution in nonequilibrium environments. In addition, w...
متن کاملRELATIVE INFORMATION FUNCTIONAL OF RELATIVE DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS
In this paper by use of mathematical modeling of an observer [14,15] the notion of relative information functional for relative dynamical systemson compact metric spaces is presented. We extract the information function ofan ergodic dynamical system (X,T) from the relative information of T fromthe view point of observer χX, where X denotes the base space of the system.We also generalize the in...

Background: The nursing process is often considered as core of the nursing care delivery and guides the care documentation. Currently, with rapid advance in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) this process can be supported electronically. Applying information systems improves care health processes. Nursing Information Systems (NISs) deal with nursing process. Materials and Methods: E...
متن کاملA Dynamical System Approach to Research in Second Language Acquisition
Epistemologically speaking, second language acquisition research (SLAR) might be reconsidered from a complex dynamical system view with interconnected aspects in the ecosystem of language acquisition. The present paper attempts to introduce the tenets of complex system theory and its application in SLAR. It has been suggested that the present dominant traditions in language acquisition research...
متن کاملDilations for $C^ast$-dynamical systems with abelian groups on Hilbert $C^ast$-modules
In this paper we investigate the dilations of completely positive definite representations of (C^ast)-dynamical systems with abelian groups on Hilbert (C^ast)-modules. We show that if ((mathcal{A}, G,alpha)) is a (C^ast)-dynamical system with (G) an abelian group, then every completely positive definite covariant representation ((pi,varphi,E)) of ((mathcal{A}, G,alpha)) on a Hilbert ...
