Quantum physics and biological systems
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 1964Abstract The nature of quantum concepts and principles is delineated, and the differences as well as the similarities between quantum physics and quantum biology are discussed. There seems to be no evidence at present for any violation or transcending of quantum laws and principles in biological phenomena.

Biological Movement and Laws of Physics
Motor Control, 2017Living systems may be defined as systems able to organize new, biology-specific, laws of physics and modify their parameters for specific tasks. Examples include the force-length muscle dependence mediated by the stretch reflex, and the control of movements with modification of the spatial referent coordinates for salient performance variables.

The biological basis of physical activity
Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 1998Successful efforts to improve levels of physical activity in the population are contingent upon an accurate understanding of the determinants of habitual activity. While most research has focused on psychosocial and environmental influences, the potential effect of intrinsic biological control on regular activity has received little attention.

Sarcopenia as the Biological Substrate of Physical Frailty
Clinics in Geriatric Medicine, 2015Physical function decreases with aging, which may result in adverse outcomes (eg, disability, loss of independence, institutionalization, death). Physical function impairment is a common trait of frailty and sarcopenia. These two conditions, albeit highly common, have not yet received a unique operational definition, which has impeded their ...

The following set of notes outlines the work that my colleagues and I have been doing for the past 10 years which have exploited the opportunities that that silicon micro to nanomachining technologies provide in biological physics. This work started with my graduate student Wayne Volkmuth and has grown to include the efforts of a great many people ...

Physical constraints in biological collective behaviour
Current Opinion in Systems Biology, 2018Many biological systems require the coordinated operation of a large number of agents linked together by complex interactions in order to achieve their function reliably. Because of the complex relationship between individual laws and system-level behaviour, theory is needed to assess which emergent phenomena result from fine-tuning or adaptation, and ...
