Nonlinear Electrodynamics in Biological Systems

The past half century has seen an extraordinary growth in the fields of cellular and molecular biology. From simple morphologi­ cal concepts of cells as the essential units of living matter there has been an ever-sharper focus on functional organization of living systems, with emphasis on molecular dynamics. Thus, life forms have come to be defined increasingly in terms of metabolism, growth, reproduction and responses to environmental perturbations. Since these properties occur in varying ...
