The purpose of this book is to introduce the clinical researcher to the concepts of physiologic computer modeling and the systems analysis approach to research investigations. The book is geared toward a clinical researcher with limited experience in modeling and the techniques of systems analysis, and it provides a broad overview of the subject and some instruction in basic modeling building and solution techniques based upon a course currently taught by Dr Coleman for graduate students. A large emphasis of the book is to provide the reader with a practical understanding of what modeling can...

The central question in the biological sciences for the past 100 years has concerned an understanding of how living systems differ from other general physical phenomena and what makes these systems unique. With new developments in the fields of nonequilibrium thermodynamics, systems theory, chaos, and information theory over the past few decades, there has been growing interest in finally answering the question first posed by Erwin Schroedinger in the 1940s concerning the true scientific nature of living systems. Similarly, there is also increasing interest within the biologic community for a...

The Scientific Revolution began with the publication of Copernicus’ heliocentric theory describing the Sun as the center of our solar system and all the known Universe. That revolutionary idea began a rethinking of our place in the Universe and no longer were the affairs of humanity considered as the centerpiece of all that was known. In the past century, with the advent of the theories of Special and General Relativity, the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum theory, and a more sophisticated conception of living system dynamics, there has been a new understanding of the central role of...
