Soviet physical and biological geography

Geoforum, 1979
Abstract Soviet physical and biological geography was built initially on solid Russian traditions. Its development since the Revolution, however, has been strongly influenced by planning needs for information and data about physical environment and natural resources and more recently by rising concern for the quality of environment.

The physical chemistry of biological membranes

Nature Chemical Biology, 2006
Physical chemistry explains the principles of self-organization of lipids into bilayers that form the matrix of biological membranes, and continuum theory of membrane energetics is successful in explaining many biological processes. With increasing sophistication of investigative tools, there is now a growing appreciation for lipid diversity and for ...

Physics of a random biological process

Physical Review E, 1994
We analyze the successive fluctuations of the daytime and nighttime sleep pattern of a newborn baby by using tools of far-from-equilibrium statistical physics. We find that this class of natural random biological process displays a remarkable long-range power-law correlation that extends for, at least, the first six months of life.

The Physical and Biologic Properties of Cavit

The Journal of the American Dental Association, 1971
The physical properties of Cavit and the response of dental pulp to this temporary filling material were tested. Cavit has a high linear expansion that apparently is caused by water sorption and that probably produces its sealing effect. Insertion of Cavit into dry cavity preparations caused aspiration of odontoblasts and an accompanying pain; no pain ...

Physical and Biological Targeting of Radiotherapy

Acta Oncologica, 1999
Targeting of radiotherapy can be based on improving physical dose distribution of radiation delivered or on utilization of specific biological processes for targeting. Tools for physical targeting include brachytherapy, hadron therapy, conformal radiotherapy, stereotactic radiotherapy, stereotactically guided conformal fractionated radiotherapy, and ...

From physical to biological time

Mechanisms of Ageing and Development, 1988
Time is a primitive (i.e. fundamental) notion, and the various concepts** that have been so far derived from this notion in various scientific domains do not cover all facets of it. Time in mechanics, either classical, quantal or relativistic, is devoid of directionality, the "arrow", i.e.
