Artificial life

... fields such as linguistics , physics , mathematics , philosophy , computer science , biology , anthropology and sociology in which unusual computational and theoretical approaches that would be controversial within their home discipline can be discussed. As a field, it has had a controversial history; ...

Biomechanics

... can be simulated and studied. Relevant mathematical tools include linear algebra , differential equations , vector and tensor calculus , and computational techniques such as the finite element method. The study of biomaterials is of crucial importance to biomechanics. For example, the various ...

Cladistics

... has gained general support. As DNA sequencing has become easier, phylogenies are increasingly often constructed with the aid of molecular data. computational systematics allows the use of these large data sets to construct objective phylogenies. These can more accurately filter out true synapomorphy from ...

Digital organism

... turned out that one of the winning strategies was to replicate as fast as possible, which had the result that the opponent was deprived of all computational resources . However, programs in the Core War game did not mutate. Steen Rasmussen at Los Alamos National Laboratory took the idea from Core ...

Glycomics

... of building blocks. Advances in glycomics are anticipated to be driven by improvements in molecular sequencing and bioinformatics , which is the computational organization and processing of sequence data. External links An article on glycomics appeared New Scientist 26 October , 2002 . It ...

Mathematical biology

... , nonlinear mechanisms and it is being increasingly recognised that the result of such interactions may only be understood through mathematical and computational models. Due to the wide diversity of specific knowledge involved, biomathematical research is often done in collaboration between mathematicians, ...

Molecular biology

... biology is quantitative, and recently much work has been done at the interface of molecular biology and computer science in bioinformatics and computational biology . As of the early 2000s , the study of gene structure and function, molecular genetics , has been amongst the most prominent sub-field of ...

Reduction

... In mathematics , reduction is the process of manipulating a series of equations or matrices into a desired 'simpler' format. In computational complexity theory , reduction is the transformation of an instance of one problem into an equivalent instance of another. In cooking , ...

Synapse

The nervous system exploits this property for computational purposes, and apparently tunes its synapses through such means as phosphorylation of the proteins involved. The size, number and replenishment rate ...
