Boolean Modelingof Genetic Regulatory Networks
Biological systems form complex networks of interaction on several scales, ranging from the molecular to the ecosystem level. On the subcellular...

Mitochondrial and ER Calcium Uptake and Release Fluxes and their Interplay in Intact Nerve Cells
Ionized free Ca ( Ca 2+) is a ubiquitous signaling ion that serves as the critical link between a variety of physiological stimuli and their...

Building a Wave – Models of the Puff-to-Wave Transition
Ca2+ release channels open and close randomly because of random binding and dissociation of Ca2+ and IP3 to their subunits. They are arranged in...

Introduction
One of the most exciting and fascinating fields in condensed matter physics is high-temperature and unconventional superconductivity, for example in...

Extrasolar Planetary Systems
This paper is an updated version of lectures given at the Helmholtz Summer School on Extrasolar Planetary Systems (Potsdam, 2003). It includes five...

SRB-Measures for Coupled Map Lattices
This chapter is divided into three parts. I start with a review of the existence results of SRB–measures for coupled map lattices. In the second part...

Riddled Basins and Coupled Dynamical Systems
The collective dynamics of groups of coupled dynamical systems is of great interest for understanding spontaneous pattern formation in biological and...

Some Aspects of Low-Mach-Number Internal Flows
In the present chapter, the main problem concerns low-Mach-number flow affected by acoustic effects in a confined gas over a long time.

Slow Atmospheric Motion as a Low-Mach-Number Flow
First, in Sect. 6.1, we discuss in detail various facets of the applicability of the Boussinesq approximation to slow atmospheric motion. In Sect....

The Many Faces of the Asymptotics of Low-Mach-Number Flows
It has long been known (Janzen 1913 and Rayleigh 1916) that asymptotic methods provide a sound way of describing incompressible aerodynamics...
-
A First Approach to the Asymptotics of Low-Mach-Number Flows
In this chapter, we describe an initial (rather ‘naive’) approach to the asymptotics of low-Mach-number flows, based mainly on consideration of the...
-
Chaos Control
In the previous chapters we have discussed the control theory from a mechanical and field theoretical point of view. This control theory is, of...
-
Game Theory
All systems analyzed up to now were more or less predictable. That means, we had some information about the initial state and the dynamics of the...
-
Control of Fields
The theoretical representation of classical mechanics and field theory is very similar in some ways. This also applies to the axiomatic structure. It...
-
Nonequilibrium Statistical Physics
Although most many-body systems are beyond the technical possibilities of the mathematical calculus of mechanics, we are able to calculate the...

14 Organization and Leadership in Hospitals
Good Morning. I was surprised yesterday morning after listening to Karl Weick’s wonderful presentation to find myself thinking that I should be...

16 Transforming Your Regional Economy through Uncertainty and Surprise: Learning from Complexity Science, Network Theory and the Field
The field of regional development blossomed in the last decade, as researchers and practitioners increasingly asserted that the region was the most...

13 Medical Errors and Microsystems: The Best Things Cannot Be Told
The best things cannot be told Because they transcend all thought. The...

12 Primary Care Practice: Uncertainty and Surprise
I will focus my comments on uncertainty and surprise in primary care practices. I am a medical anthropologist by training, and have been a full-time...

Regular and Chaotic Motion in Hamiltonian Systems
All laws that describe the time evolution of a continuous system are given in the form of differential equations, ordinary (if the law involves one...
