Biosimulation : simulation of living systems / Daniel A. Beard.
Beard, Daniel A., 1971-| Call Number | 571.401/13 |
| Author | Beard, Daniel A., 1971- author. |
| Title | Biosimulation : simulation of living systems / Daniel A. Beard. |
| Physical Description | 1 online resource (xii, 307 pages) : digital, PDF file(s). |
| Series | Cambridge texts in biomedical engineering |
| Notes | Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015). |
| Contents | 1. Introduction to simulation of biological systems -- 2. Transport and reaction of solutes in biological systems -- 3. Physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling -- 4. Cardiovascular systems simulation -- 5. Chemical reaction systems: thermodynamics and chemical equilibrium -- 6. Chemical reaction systems: kinetics -- 7. Chemical reaction systems: large-scale systems simulation -- 8. Cellular electrophysiology -- 9. Appendices: mathematical and computational techniques. |
| Summary | This practical guide to biosimulation provides the hands-on experience needed to devise, design and analyze simulations of biophysical processes for applications in biological and biomedical sciences. Through real-world case studies and worked examples, students will develop and apply basic operations through to advanced concepts, covering a wide range of biophysical topics including chemical kinetics and thermodynamics, transport phenomena, and cellular electrophysiology. Each chapter is built around case studies in a given application area, with simulations of real biological systems developed to analyze and interpret data. Open-ended project-based exercises are provided at the end of each chapter, and with all data and computer codes available online (www.cambridge.org/biosim) students can quickly and easily run, manipulate, explore and expand on the examples inside. This hands-on guide is ideal for use on senior undergraduate/graduate courses and also as a self-study guide for anyone who needs to develop computational models of biological systems. |
