  • The Essential Tension

    Competition, Cooperation and Multilevel Selection in Evolution

    by Sonya Bahar ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    'The Essential Tension' explores how agents that naturally compete come to act together as a group. The author argues that the controversial concept of multilevel selection is essential to biological evolution, a proposition set to stimulate new debate.The idea of one collective unit emerging from the cooperative interactions of its constituent (and mutually competitive) parts has its roots in the ...

  • The Origin and Nature of Life on Earth

    The Emergence of the Fourth Geosphere

    by Eric Smith, Harold J. Morowitz ...
    Uniting the conceptual foundations of the physical sciences and biology, this groundbreaking multidisciplinary book explores the origin of life as a planetary process. Combining geology, geochemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, evolution and statistical physics to create an inclusive picture of the living state, the authors develop the argument that the emergence of life was a necessary cascade ...

  • Dance to the Tune of Life

    Biological Relativity

    by Denis Noble ...
    In this thought-provoking book, Denis Noble formulates the theory of biological relativity, emphasising that living organisms operate at multiple levels of complexity and must therefore be analysed from a multi-scale, relativistic perspective. Noble explains that all biological processes operate by means of molecular, cellular and organismal networks. The interactive nature of these fundamental ... Read more

  • Fast Variables in Stochastic Population Dynamics

    by George William Albert Constable ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    In this thesis two variants of the fast variable elimination method are developed. They are intuitive, simple to implement and give results which are in very good agreement with those found from numerical simulations. The relative simplicity of the techniques makes them ideal for applying to problems featuring demographic stochasticity, for experts and non-experts alike.Within the context of ... Read more

  • Closing Human Evolution: Life in the Ultimate Age

    by Ladislav Kováč ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    This volume analyses the evolution of humankind by combining approaches from science and the arts. It offers a novel perspective on the evolution of life on Earth, based on a recent reformulation of the second law of thermodynamics in terms of the “maximum entropy production principle.”In essence, the Earth is but one of many “white holes” in the universe, where life functions as a specific ...

  • Emergence of Communication in Socio-Biological Networks

    by Anamaria Berea ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book integrates current advances in biology, economics of information and linguistics research through applications using agent-based modeling and social network analysis to develop scenarios of communication and language emergence in the social aspects of biological communications. The book presents a model of communication emergence that can be applied both to human and non-human living ... Read more

  • Complexity Theories of Cities Have Come of Age

    An Overview with Implications to Urban Planning and Design

    Edited by Juval Portugali, Han Meyer, Egbert Stolk, Ekim Tan ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    Today, our cities are an embodiment of the complex, historical evolution of knowledge, desires and technology. Our planned and designed activities co-evolve with our aspirations, mediated by the existing technologies and social structures. The city represents the accretion and accumulation of successive layers of collective activity, structuring and being structured by other, increasingly distant ... Read more

  • The Influence of Demographic Stochasticity on Population Dynamics

    A Mathematical Study of Noise-Induced Bistable States and Stochastic Patterns

    by Tommaso Biancalani ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    The dynamics of population systems cannot be understood within the framework of ordinary differential equations, which assume that the number of interacting agents is infinite. With recent advances in ecology, biochemistry and genetics it is becoming increasingly clear that real systems are in fact subject to a great deal of noise. Relevant examples include social insects competing for resources, ... Read more
