Fuzzy/Multiobjective Genetic Systems for Intelligent Systems Design Tools and Components
In this chapter, we develop robust and efficient fuzzy/genetic based design tools and components for intelligent systems. The hybrid techniques...
-
Probability Distributions on Cladograms
By analogy with the theory surrounding the Ewens sampling formula in neutral population genetics, we ask whether there exists a natural one-parameter...

A Biomathematical Approach to HIV and AIDS
Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is medically devastating to its victims and wreaks financial and emotional havoc on everyone, infected or...
-
The Biochemistry of Cells
The purpose of this chapter is to present the structure of some of the molecules that make up a cell and to show how they are constructed under the...

Optimal equi-partition of rectangular domains for parallel computation
We present an efficient method for the partitioning of rectangular domains into equi-area sub-domains of minimum total perimeter. For a variety of...

Searching for Degenerate Dynamics in Animal Conflict Game Models involving Sexual Reproduction
The initial appeal of using conventional game theory to model and to analyze conflicts in biological populations is somewhat muted by the realization...

Population dynamics and harvesting of semelparous species with phenotypic and genotypic variability in reproductive age
We study the evolution of polymorphic life histories in anadromous semelparous salmon and the effects of harvesting. We derive dynamic phenotypic and...

The Changing Role of Population Genetics Theory
Theoretical population genetics is surely a most unusual subject. At times it appears to have little connection with the parent subject on which it...
-
Individual-Oriented Approaches to Modeling Ecological Populations and Communities
At the level of ecological populations and communities, modelers have usually followed the state variable approach, in which a separate state...
-
Evolution and Developmental Programmes
We shall never fully understand the process of evolution until we know how the environment affects the mechanisms that produce pattern and form in...
-
Molecular Biological Approaches to Understanding Aging and Senescence
Human longevity depends strongly on health, but there is considerable uncertainty about the potential increase in human longevity that could result...
-
Animal Coat Patterns and Other Practical Applications of Reaction Diffusion Mechanisms
In this chapter we discuss some real biological pattern formation problems and show how the modelling discussed earlier in the book, particularly the...

Dynamics and topology of idiotypic networks
Jerne's idiotypic network was previously modelled using simple proliferation dynamics and a homogeneous tree as a connection structure. The present...

Mutation in autocatalytic reaction networks
A class of kinetic equations describing catalysed and template induced replication, and mutation is introduced. This ODE in its most general form is...

Genetic Perspectives in Wildlife Management: The Case Of Large Herbivores
Changes in population characteristics are usually thought to result from demographic processes or responses to habitat fluctuations with no...
