Biological physics in México [PDF]
Journal of Biological Physics, 2011 Biological and physical sciences possess a long-standing tradition of cooperativity as separate but related subfields of science. For some time, this cooperativity has been limited by their obvious differences in methods and views. Biological physics has recently experienced a kind of revival (or better a rebirth) due to the growth of molecular ...

Biological evolution and statistical physics [PDF]
Advances in Physics, 2001 This review is an introduction to theoretical models and mathematical calculations for biological evolution, aimed at physicists. The methods in the field are naturally very similar to those used in statistical physics, although the majority of publications appeared in biology journals. The review has three parts, which can be read independently.

Physical foundations of biological complexity [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2018 Significance Living organisms are characterized by a degree of hierarchical complexity that appears to be inaccessible to even the most complex inanimate objects. Routes and patterns of the evolution of complexity are poorly understood.

From physical to biological individuation
Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology, 2016 In this paper, we insist on stressing the epistemic and metaphysical difference between individual and individuation, a distinction originally developed by Gilbert Simondon. Individuation occurs in complex physical systems by the coupling (R1) between the system and its outside conditions. As such the system is not well defined by its sole constituents.

WHITEHEAD´S IDEAS WITHIN SOME ROMANIAN JURIDICAL THINKERS [PDF]
Challenges of the Knowledge Society, 2018 Alfred North Whitehead (1861 – 1947) was a mathematician, logician and English philosopher, being the most important representative of the philosophical school of thought known as "process philosophy," which today has found application to a wide ...

Biological scaling and physics
Journal of Biosciences, 2002 Kleiber's law in biology states that the specific metabolic rate (metabolic rate per unit mass) scales as M- 1/4 in terms of the mass M of the organism. A long-standing puzzle is the (- 1/4) power in place of the usual expectation of (- 1/3) based on the surface to volume ratio in three-dimensions.

PHYSICAL AND BIOLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS ON HERPESVIRUS [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1963 Smith, KendallO. (Baylor University College of Medicine, Houston, Texas). Physical and biological observations on herpesvirus. J. Bacteriol.86:999–1009. 1963.—The development of herpesvirus in human lung fibroblasts was studied by plaque assays and physical particle counts. Approximately 200 infectious units and 60,000 particles were produced by single

The Biological Frontier of Physics [PDF]
Physics Today, 2006 Problems at the interface between biology and physics offer unique opportunities for physicists to make quantitative contributions to biology. Equally important, they enrich the discipline of physics by challenging its practitioners to think in new ways.
