Mathematical Modeling of the Temperature-Dependent Growth of Living Systems
In this investigation a non-equilibrium thermodynamic model of the temperature dependent biological growth of a living systems has been analyzed. The results are derived on the basis of Gompertzian growth equation. In this model, we have considered the temperature dependent growth rate and development parameter. The non-equilibrium thermodynamic model is also considered for exploring the variat...
متن کاملHealth and Loneliness Status of the Elderly Living in Nursing Homes Versus Those Living with Their Families
Objectives: As attention of the elderly is progressing rapidly in developing countries in recent years, special attention to their mental and physical needs are necessary. The aim of this study was to comparing general health and loneliness between two groups of the elderly, one who live with their families versus those who live in nursing homes in north part of Tehran, Iran. Methods & Mater...
متن کاملBoundary Maintenance in Living Systems Theory and Social Entropy Theory
Past analyses of social systems have too often relied upon obsolete dualities such as open system/closed system. The purpose of this paper is to provide a more comprehensive analysis of the full range of boundary-maintenance operations that are at work in the modern complex social system. I first analyze the role of the boundary in Living Systems Theory, and then turn to the analysis and compar...
متن کاملResemblances between the Electromotor Varia- Tions of Rhythmically Reacting Living and Non-living Systems by Ralph
I t is well known that under certain conditions the reaction of iron wire with nitric acid exhibits an automatic r h y t h m of sometimes remarkable regularity, consisting in an alternation of active and passive periods. 1 In a recent study of this phenomenon ~ I have found the most regular rhythms in soft iron wire of low carbon content. Wire drawn from iron prepared by electrolysis of pure so...
متن کاملResemblances between the Electromotor Variations of Rhythmically Reacting Living and Non-living Systems
1. The electromotor variations of pure iron wires, arranged to react rhythmically with nitric acid, are recorded and described. 2. Resemblances between these variations and those of rhythmically reacting living tissues (especially the heart) are pointed out and discussed.
