Single-molecule Fluorescence Spectroscopy Of Molecular Machines

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the field of single-molecule fluorescence microscopy and spectroscopy of molecular machines. It is addressed to both physical scientists (who are familiar with the fluorescence methodology but unfamiliar with the biological molecules, mechanisms and questions) and life scientists (who are familiar with the biology but unfamiliar with the large …

Allostasis, Homeostasis, and the Costs of Physiological Adaptation

The concept of homeostasis, the maintenance of the internal physiological environment of an organism within tolerable limits, is well established in medicine and physiology. In contrast, allostasis is a relatively new idea of 'viability through change'. With allostatic regulation by cephalic involvement, the body adapts to potentially diverse and dangerous situations through the activation of …

Paradox: the Nine Greatest Enigmas in Physics

Jim Al-Khalili is about to untangle the world's greatest science conundrums... ___________ How does the fact that it gets dark at night prove the Universe must have started with a big bang? Where are all the aliens? Why does the length of a piece of string vary depending on how fast it is moving? Our …

Biological Physics of the Developing Embryo

During development cells and tissues undergo changes in pattern and form that employ a wider range of physical mechanisms than at any other time in an organism's life. This book shows how physics can be used to analyze these biological phenomena. Written to be accessible to both biologists and physicists, major stages and components of …

Physics

A new translation of Aristotle's classic work on the natural sciences.

Entropy and Syntropy

In 1925 the physicists Oskar Klein and Walter Gordon formulated an equation which unites quantum mechanics and special relativity. Studying the properties of the dual solution of this equation, the mathematician Luigi Fantappie found that the positive solution is governed by the law of entropy (from Greek en=diverge, tropos=tendency), whereas the negative solution is governed …
