Understanding Nonlinear Dynamics
Mathematics is playing an ever more important role in the physical and biological sciences, provoking a blurring of boundaries between scientific disciplines and a resurgence of interest in the modern as well as the classical techniques of applied mathematics. This renewal of interest, both in research and teaching, has led to the establishment of the series: Texts in Applied Mathematics ( TAM). The development of new courses is a natural consequence of a high level of excitement on the research frontier as newer techniques, such as numerical and symbolic computer systems, dynamical systems, and chaos, mix with and reinforce the traditional methods of applied mathematics. Thus, the purpose o...
From Clocks to Chaos
In an important new contribution to the literature of chaos, two distinguished researchers in the field of physiology probe central theoretical questions about physiological rhythms. Topics discussed include: How are rhythms generated? How do they start and stop? What are the effects of perturbation of the rhythms? How are oscillations organized in space? Leon Glass and Michael Mackey address an audience of biological scientists, physicians, physical scientists, and mathematicians, but the work assumes no knowledge of advanced mathematics. Variation of rhythms outside normal limits, or appearance of new rhythms where none existed previously, are associated with disease. One of the most interesting features of the book is that it makes a start at explaining "dynamical diseases" that are not the result of infection by pathogens but that stem from abnormalities in the timing of essential functions. From Clocks to Chaos provides a firm foundation for understanding dynamic processes in physiology.
Through a Glass, Darkly
It Is A Luminous Spring Day In Venice, As Commissario Brunetti And Inspettore Vianello Take A Break From The Questura To Come To The Rescue Of Vianello'S Friend Marco Ribetti, Who Has Been Arrested While Protesting Against Chemical Pollution Of The Venetian Lagoon, Only To Be Faced By The Fury Of Marco'S Father-In-Law, Owner Of A Glass Factory On The Island Of Murano. But It Is Not Marco Who Has Uncovered The Guilty Secret Of The Polluting Glass Foundries Of The Island Of Murano, Nor He Whose Body Is Found Dead In Front Of The Furnaces Which Burn At 1400 Degrees, Night And Day. The Victim Has Left Clues In A Copy Of Dante And Brunetti Must Descend Into An Inferno To Discover Who Is Burning The Land And Fouling The Waters Of The Lagoon. A Man Is Dead - But Will Politics And Expedience Prevent The Killer From Striking Again?

Nonlinear Dynamics in Physiology and Medicine
Introduces concepts from nonlinear dynamics using an almost exclusively biological setting for motivation, and includes examples of how these concepts are used in experimental investigations of biological and physiological systems. One novel feature of the book is the inclusion of classroom-tested computer exercises. This book will appeal to students and researchers working in the natural and physical sciences wanting to learn about physiological systems from a mathematical perspective.
Reflections in Shattered Glass
Detective Bob McCaffey attempts to achieve fame by solving the high profile murder of an entertainment industry mogul, Burl Mathews. His investigation leads him into the murky world of promoters and money men, and nearly gets him killed. Before his search is over, Bob will face the dark side of his own ambition. his notoriously shady business deals. Bob, a Dallas police department detective who specializes in fraud cases, is assigned to lead the murder investigation. situation. Mathews had bullied and cheated his way to the top of the broadcast entertainment industry, and some of the people he betrayed in the past began to fight back via lawsuits, blackmail, and other means. Mathews needed m...
Theory of Heart
In recent years there has been a growth in interest in studying the heart from the perspective of the physical sciences: mechanics, fluid flow, electromechanics. This volume is the result of a workshop held in July 1989 at the Institute for Nonlinear Sciences at the University of California at San Diego that brought together scientists and clinicians with graduate students and postdoctoral fellows who shared an interest in the heart. The chapters were prepared by the invited speakers as didactic reviews of their subjects but also include the structure, mechanical properties, and function of the heart and the myocardium, electrical activity of the heart and myocardium, and mathematical models of heart function.
Chaos, CNN, Memristors and Beyond
This invaluable book is a unique collection of tributes to outstanding discoveries pioneered by Leon Chua in nonlinear circuits, cellular neural networks, and chaos. It is comprised of three parts. The first — cellular nonlinear networks, nonlinear circuits and cellular automata — deals with Chua's Lagrangian circuits, cellular wave computers, bio-inspired robotics and neuro-morphic architectures, toroidal chaos, synaptic cellular automata, history of Chua's circuits, cardiac arrhythmias, local activity principle, symmetry breaking and complexity, bifurcation trees, and Chua's views on nonlinear dynamics of cellular automata. Dynamical systems and chaos is the scope of the second part of...
Leon and Esther
The story is about love and romance in America, 1920's style. Handsome Leon--tall, honest and rugged farm overseer--winner of riding contests and women's hearts--meets lovely Esther, petite and innocent farmer's daughter. His strong faith pulls him toward her, despite the twelve years difference in their ages. Will his vision of a relationship, born of his faith, become a nightmare test of faith, instead? A mysterious stalker of small town virgins has nearly ruined an innocent girl. Vicious gossips will finish the job and make your blood boil. be there when a local midwife delivers a home birth. Recommended for adults and mature teens.
