| Index. décimale : |
612.1-57.1 |
| Résumé : |
This comprehensive and extensively classroom-tested biophysics
textbook is a complete introduction to the physical principles underlying
biological processes and their applications to the life sciences and
medicine. The foundations of natural processes are placed on a firm footing
before showing how their consequences can be explored in a wide range of
biosystems. The goal is to develop the readers’ intuition, understanding,
and facility for creative analysis that are frequently required to grapple
with problems involving complex living organisms. Topics cover all scales,
encompassing the application of statics, fluid dynamics, acoustics,
electromagnetism, light, radiation physics, thermodynamics, statistical
physics, quantum biophysics, and theories of information, ordering, and
evolutionary optimization to biological processes and bio-relevant
technological implementations. Sound modeling principles are emphasized
throughout, placingall the concepts within a rigorous framework. With
numerous worked examples and exercises to test and enhance the reader’s
understanding, this book can be used as a textbook for physics graduate
students and as a supplementary text for a range of premedical, biomedical,
and biophysics courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels. It will
also be a useful reference for biologists, physicists, medical researchers,
and medical device engineers who want to work from first principles.
