| Sumario: | And Conclusion for Proposition 2.3Measuring Time's Passing-the Adaptive Function of Interval Timers; Timing is (Almost) Everything; Overall Conclusions; References; The Circle Game: Mathematics, Models, and Rhythms; Introduction to Mathematical Modeling; Linear Models of Oscillators; Nonlinear Models of Oscillators; Modeling Molecular Networks in Cells; Modeling External Perturbations on Biological Oscillators: Synchronization, Entrainment, and Other Effects on Rhythms. This book represents the first in a two-volume set on biological rhythms. This volume focuses on supporting the claim that biological rhythms are universal and essential characteristics of living organisms, critical for proper functioning of any living system. The author begins by examining the potential reasons for the evolution of biological rhythms: (1) the need for complex, goal-oriented devices to control the timing of their activities; (2) the inherent tendency of feedback control systems to oscillate; and (3) the existence of stable and powerful geophysical cycles to which all organisms. |
