Description for Fluctuations and Order
Hardback. Focusing on the realization that fluctuations play an active, even creative, role in non-equilibrium processes, this work covers such topics as stochastic resonance, noise and sensory nervous systems, mechanisms of intracellular transport, and kinetic theory of non-equilibrium systems. Editor(s): Millonas, M. Series: Institute for Nonlinear Science (Closed). Num Pages: 476 pages, biography. BIC Classification: GPFC; PDE; PHD; PHVN. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 26. Weight in Grams: 846.
The volume that you have before you is the result of a growing realization that fluctuations in nonequilibrium systems playa much more important role than was 1 first believed. It has become clear that in nonequilibrium systems noise plays an active, one might even say a creative, role in processes involving self-organization, pattern formation, and coherence, as well as in biological information processing, energy transduction, and functionality. Now is not the time for a comprehensive summary of these new ideas, and I am certainly not the person to attempt such a thing. Rather, this short introductory essay (and the book ... Read more
