Book Description
This book bridges the gap between biomechanics and engineering and presents advanced concepts and techniques for the analysis of motion in biological systems. Advanced theoretical and computational concepts applied to motion analysis of biological systems are presented, as well as how these concepts can assist in identifying strategies and developing methodologies for effective rehabilitation, and even detecting movement-related disorders. This is an ideal book for biomedical engineers, physical therapists, and researchers and students studying motion analysis of biological systems.

Book Description
Describes the physico-chemical laws underlying various kinds of motion in biological systems, with particular emphasis on the mathematics involved. Each chapter covers one type of biological motion, employing mathematics no more advanced than elementary calculus. Explained are biological phenomena such as osmotic pressure, frictional resistance, diffusion, motion in electrical fields, potentials at interfaces, transport across membranes, and entropy-driven processes. Also covered are viscosity, conversion of chemical to mechanical energy, and critical concentrations.

Book Description
This paper reviews a number of aspects of visual motion analysis in biological systems, from a computational perspective. We illustrate the kinds of insights that have been gained through computational studies and how those observations can be integrated with experimental studies from psychology and the neurosciences, to understand the particular computations used by biological systems to analyze motion. The particular areas of motion analysis that we discuss include early motion detection and measurement, the optical flow computation, motion correspondence, the detection of motion discontinuities, and the recovery of three-dimensional structure from motion. Keywords: Image analysis, Artificial intelligence.

Book Description
This book addresses the analysis, in the continuum regime, of biological systems at various scales, from the cellular level to the industrial one. It presents both fundamental conservation principles (mass, charge, momentum and energy) and relevant fluxes resulting from appropriate driving forces, which are important for the analysis, design and operation of biological systems. It includes the concept of charge conservation, an important principle for biological systems that is not explicitly covered in any other book of this kind. The book is organized in five parts: mass conservation; charge conservation; momentum conservation; energy conservation and multiple conservations simultaneously applied. All mathematical aspects are presented step by step, allowing any reader with a basic mathematical background (calculus, differential equations, linear algebra, etc.) to follow the text with ease. The book promotes an intuitive understanding of all the relevant principles and in so doing facilitates their application to practical issues related to design and operation of biological systems. Intended as a self-contained textbook for students in biotechnology and in industrial, chemical and biomedical engineering, this book will also represent a useful reference guide for professionals working in the above-mentioned fields.

Book Description
Open serial chains are mechanical links connected by joints. These chains have a fixed link and a free link, where the latter is referred to as the end effector. The links can move relative to each other about their joint axes. There exists a large body of knowledge that deals with the motion analysis (kinematics) of open serial chains. In this thesis, kinematics analyses tools are used to study biological structures that can be modeled as open serial chains. The advantages of using advanced kinematic tools are to make accurate model representations, avoid unnecessary use of confusing formulations, and significantly improve computational efficiency. The biological structures investigated are the Human Lower Limb Kinematics and Protein Folding. In the case of the Human Lower Limb, the direct and inverse kinematics is mathematically described using the Zero Reference Position Notation (ZRPN) for six and nine degrees of freedom. This description has not been found in the literature. In addition, joint torques are determined using a kineto-static analysis. Motion Analysis experiments of the human lower limb of subjects riding a bicycle were performed. The kinematics prediction correlates with experiments. In the case of protein folding, the direct kinematics of proteins is mathematically described in the most computationally efficient form using the ZRPN. Then, the Kineto-Static Compliance Method is used to predict protein conformation (shape). This method replaces the need for dynamic analysis of open serial chains altogether and hence, it has a significant computational benefit. This methodology is based on the application of estimated driving forces and torques that move the current chain structure to a target structure. Forces are obtained from protein force field definitions found in the literature. The simulation has been proven to minimize joint torques and potential energy to obtain a final protein conformation. Comparison between predicted and known structures showed a Root Mean Square Deviation (RMSD) of 0.2 Ã… or higher. If the input structure to the simulation is not close to the experimental protein conformation the RMSD values tend to be higher. The differences are due to model limitations and force field definitions.

Book Description
This book is devoted to the question: What fundamental ideas and concepts can phys ics contribute to the analysis of complex systems like those in biology and ecolo gy? The book originated from two lectures which I gave during the winter term 1974/75 and the summer term 1976 at the Rheinisch-Westfalische Technische Hoch schule in Aachen. The wish for a lecture with this kind of subject was brought forward by students of physics as well as by those from other disciplines like biology, physiology, and engineering sciences. The students of physics were look ing for ways which might lead them from their monodisciplinary studies into the interdisciplinary field between physics and life sciences. The students from the other disciplines suspected that there might be helpful physical concepts and ideas for the analysis of complex systems they ought to become acquainted with. It is clear that a lecture or a book which tries to realize the expectations of both these groups will meet with difficulties arising from the different train ings and background knowledge of physicists and nonphysicists. For the physicists, I have tried to give a brief description of the biological aspect and significance of a problem wherever it seems necessary and appropriate and as far as a physicist like me feels authorized to do so.

Book Description
Systems Biomechanics of the Cell attempts to outline systems biomechanics of the cell as an emergent and promising discipline. The new field owes conceptually to cell mechanics, organism-level systems biomechanics, and biology of biochemical systems. Its distinct methodology is to elucidate the structure and behavior of the cell by analyzing the unintuitive collective effects of elementary physical forces that interact within the heritable cellular framework. The problematics amenable to this approach includes the variety of cellular activities that involve the form and movement of the cell body and boundary (nucleus, centrosome, microtubules, cortex, and membrane). Among the elementary system effects in the biomechanics of the cell, instability of symmetry, emergent irreversibility, and multiperiodic dissipative motion can be noted. Research results from recent journal articles are placed in this unifying framework. It is suggested that the emergent discipline has the potential to expand the spectrum of questions asked about the cell, and to further clarify the physical nature of animate matter and motion.
