An anisotropic microsphere-based approach for fiber orientation adaptation in soft tissue [PDF]
, 2011 Evolutionary processes in biological tissue, such as adaptation or remodeling, represent an enterprising area of research. In this paper, we present a multiscale model for the remodeling of fibered structures, such as bundles of collagen fibrils.

Earth's Future, 2023 Changes in climate and land‐use and land‐cover (LULC) are expected to influence surface water runoff and nutrient characteristics of estuarine watersheds, but the extent to which estuaries are vulnerable to altered nutrient loading under future ...

Symmetry Invariance for Adapting Biological Systems [PDF]
SIAM Journal on Applied Dynamical Systems, 2011 We study in this paper certain properties of the responses of dynamical systems to external inputs. The motivation arises from molecular systems biology. and, in particular, the recent discovery of an important transient property, related to Weber's law in psychophysics: "fold-change detection" in adapting systems, the property that scale uncertainty ...

Evolutionary adaptability of biological macromolecules [PDF]
Journal of Molecular Evolution, 1977 The degree of gradualism with which tertiary structure and function of protein changes with stepwise changes in primary structure (assumed to be influenced by redundancy of weak bonding) is both a precondition for and consequence of evolution. The resulting selection for degree of gradualism has implications for a number of structural and functional ...

Biological clockwork underlying adaptive rhythmic movements [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2014 Significance Animals can adapt the frequency and shape of their oscillatory body movements during locomotion in response to changes in the environment. Although central pattern generators (CPGs) are known to be the basic neuronal circuits responsible for generation of rhythmic movements, no conclusive evidence has so far been found to ...

Model Reduction on the Wnt Pathway Leads to Biological Adaptation [PDF]
, 2001 Complex systems are an unavoidable problem in the field of biology. One of the ways that scientists have tried to overcome this problem is by building mathematical models—manageable representations designed to look at specific physical phenomena. The Wnt

Tradeoffs in adapting biological systems
European Journal of Control, 2016 Biological systems must sense and adapt to changes in their environment. Molecular networks capable of such adaptation belong to two well-known classes, feed-forward and feedback structures, but the fundamental limitations and tradeoffs of these two classes remain unknown.

Dynamics of Coupled Adaptive Elements : Bursting and Intermittent Oscillations Generated by Frustration in Networks [PDF]
, 2009 Adaptation to environmental change is a common property of biological systems. Cells initially respond to external changes in the environment, but after some time, they regain their original state.
