Physics with Illustrative Examples from Medicine and Biology: Electricity and Magnetism
ISBN: 9780387987705 / Angielski / Twarda / 671 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The field of biological physics is a broad, multidisciplinary, and dynamic one, touching on many areas of research in physics, biology, chemistry and medicine. New findings are published in a large number of publications within these disci- plines, making it difficult for students and scientists working in biological physics to keep up with advances occurring in disciplines other than their own. The Bi- ological Physics Series is intended therefore to be a comprehensive one covering a broad range of topics important to the study of biological physics. Its goal is to provide scientists and...

The Physics of Pulsatile Flow
ISBN: 9780387989259 / Angielski / Twarda / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Classic texts in the field of analysis of flow in blood vessels have been written over the years and what these say is still valid today. However, our knowledge of pathophysiological mechanisms has changed with increasing rapidity over the past 20 years, as has our ability to visualize the three- dimensional geometry of blood flow and blood flow velocity distribution within the in vivo blood vessels. Consequently, with the increased need to fully exploit the new imaging capabilities and our additional biological knowledge, this book is a welcome addition to our armamentarium used to achieve...

Mechanics of Swimming and Flying
ISBN: 9780521280716 / Angielski / Miękka / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book provides a clear and concise summary of the fluid dynamics of the locomotion of living organisms. The biological phenomena described in detail range from the swimming of bacteria and fish to the flying of insects and birds. The breadth of treatment requires the study of two basic fluid-dynamical regimes. In the first case, that of small organisms, the viscosity of the fluid is paramount in deciding the most effective swimming strategy. However, for larger insects, birds, and most fish, the viscosity of the air or water may be treated as if it were zero, and resulting mechanisms of...

Statistical Mechanics and Stability of Macromolecules: Application to Bond Disruption, Base Pair Separation, Melting, and Drug Dissociation of the DNA Double Helix
ISBN: 9780521451840 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book develops a statistical mechanical analysis of the stability of biological macromolecules. The author's approach is valid both for the long time-scale needed for DNA bond disruption, and also for highly cooperative transitions needed to explain helix melting. Prohofsky develops a new theoretical approach for executing macromolecule calculations. In particular the author devises a method for describing chemical bond disruption in these large systems, which is then used to determine when the helix melts and how drugs can dissociate from the helix. The author finds melting temperatures...

ISBN: 9780691024189 / Angielski / Miękka / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This entertaining and informative book describes how living things bump up against non-biological reality. "My immodest aim," says the author, "is to change how you view your immediate surroundings." He asks us to wonder about the design of plants and animals around us: why a fish swims more rapidly than a duck can paddle, why healthy trees more commonly uproot than break, how a shark manages with such a flimsy skeleton, or how a mouse can easily survive a fall onto any surface from any height. The book will not only fascinate the general reader but will also serve as an... This entertaining and informative book describes how living things bump up against non-biological reality.
