Download or read book Applications of Dynamical Systems in Biology and Medicine written by Trachette Jackson and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume highlights problems from a range of biological and medical applications that can be interpreted as questions about system behavior or control. Topics include drug resistance in cancer and malaria, biological fluid dynamics, auto-regulation in the kidney, anti-coagulation therapy, evolutionary diversification and photo-transduction. Mathematical techniques used to describe and investigate these biological and medical problems include ordinary, partial and stochastic differentiation equations, hybrid discrete-continuous approaches, as well as 2 and 3D numerical simulation.
