Dynamics of Cell and Tissue Motion (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Alt, Wolfgang; Dunn, Graham; Deutsch, Andreas

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

An interdisciplinary study explaining the dynamics underlying biological motion - one of the most obvious expressions of self-organization. Designed for a broad audience from bioscientists to applied mathematicians, this book considers possible synergetic mechanisms of interaction and cooperation on different microscopic levels.
