On the Use of Adaptive Resemblance Terms in Chemical Ecology
Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, 2012 Many organisms (mimics) show adaptive resemblance to an element of their environment (model) in order to dupe another organism (operator) for their own benefit.

Multi-input regulation and logic with T7 promoters in cells and cell-free systems. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Engineered gene circuits offer an opportunity to harness biological systems for biotechnological and biomedical applications. However, reliance on native host promoters for the construction of circuit elements, such as logic gates, can make the ...

Non-linear eigenvalue problems arising from growth maximization of positive linear dynamical systems [PDF]
, 2014 We study a growth maximization problem for a continuous time positive linear system with switches. This is motivated by a problem of mathematical biology (modeling growth-fragmentation processes and the PMCA protocol).

Operations Research Tools for Biology
, 2023 This thesis shows how to use Operations Research tools, e.g. Markov chains, optimization, game theory, and matchings, to understand problems that appear in biological contexts. We focus on two biological systems – the activation of the immune system in response to pathogens, and the metabolism of communities of different species of microbes. In Chapter

Resolvent Positive Linear Operators Exhibit the Reduction Phenomenon [PDF]
, 2011 The spectral bound, s(a A + b V), of a combination of a resolvent positive linear operator A and an operator of multiplication V, was shown by Kato to be convex in b \in R.

Advances in Difference Equations, 2010 We consider the rate of convergence to equilibrium of Volterra integrodifferential equations with infinite memory. We show that if the kernel of Volterra operator is regularly varying at infinity, and the initial history is regularly varying at minus ...

Is defining life pointless? Operational definitions at the frontiers of biology [PDF]
Synthese, 2017 Despite numerous and increasing attempts to define what life is, there is no consensus on necessary and sufficient conditions for life. Accordingly, some scholars have questioned the value of definitions of life and encouraged scientists and philosophers alike to discard the project.
