| Opplysninger | "CEMB, Center for Engineering MechanoBiology"--Back cover. - First steps. Virus dynamics -- Physics and biology -- Randomness in biology. Discrete randomness -- Some useful discrete distributions -- Continuous distributions -- Random walks on an energy landscape -- Model selection and parameter estimation -- Excursion : single particle reconstruction in cryo-electron microscopy -- Poisson processes and their simulation -- Randomness in cellular processes -- Feedback control. Negative feedback control -- Positive feedback, epidemics, and genetic switches -- Cellular oscillators -- Nonlinear, stochastic dynamical systems. Demographic variation in epidemic spread -- Bet-hedging via stochastic, excitable dynamics.. - "Physical models of living systems first develps the frameworks needed to understand modern ideas about inference from data, as they relate to biological physics research. Later chapters develop stochasti stimulation as a tool to handle more complex systems, and then dynamical systems theory applied to cellular control networks, both natural and synthetic. Along the way, you'll also see the foundations of revolutionary advances in imaging (superresolutiona dn cryo-electron microscopy), along with epidemic modeling, micanobiology, excitable media, and more. The text also has significant overlap with competencies covered in the MCAT exam. Dozens of problems at all levels, many of them new in this edition, will help you to gain simulation and data visualization skills useful in any branch of quantitatvie science research."-- Back cover.
