Download or read book Hysteresis Phenomena in Biology written by Hamid Reza Noori and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-27 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The occurrence of hysteresis phenomena has been traditionally associated with mechanical and magnetic properties of materials. However, recent studies on the dynamics of biological processes suggest switch-like behavior that could be described by mathematical models of hysteresis. This book presents the milestones and perspectives of biological hysteresis and provides a comprehensive and application-oriented introduction to this subject. The target audience primarily comprises researchers but the book may also be beneficial for graduate students.
