A variety of new experimental techniques in molecular biology, microbiol ogy, physiology and other fields of biological research constantly expand our knowledge and enable us to make increasingly more detailed functional and structural descriptions. Over the past decades, the amount and complexity of available information have multiplied dramatically, while at the same time our basic understanding of the nature of regulation, behavior, morphogenesis and evolution in the living world has made only modest progress. A key obstacle is clearly the proper handling of the available data. This requires a stronger emphasis on mathematical modeling through which the consistency of the adopted explanations can be checked, and general princi ples may be extracted. As an even more serious problem, however, it appears that the proper physical concepts for the development of a theoretically oriented biology have not hitherto been available. Classical mechanics and equilibrium thermody namics, for instance, are inappropriate and useless in some of the most essen tial b | 出版日期 | Book 1995 | 关键词 | complex system; living systems; mathematics; mechanics; statistical mechanics; thermodynamics | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-79290-8 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-642-79292-2 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-642-79290-8Series ISSN 0172-7389 Series E-ISSN 2198-333X | issn_series | 0172-7389 | copyright | Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 1995 |
