Non-universal Interspecific Allometric Scaling of Metabolism
Jafferson K. L. da Silva, Lauro A. Barbosa
We extend a previously theory for the interspecific allometric scaling developed in a -dimensional space of metabolic states. The time, which is characteristic of all biologic…
Transition on the entropic elasticity of DNA induced by intercalating molecules
M. S. Rocha, M. C. Ferreira, O. N. Mesquita
We use optical tweezers to perform stretching experiments on DNA molecules when interacting with the drugs daunomycin and ethidium bromide, which intercalate the DNA molecule. Thes…
The Scaling of Maximum and Basal Metabolic Rates of Mammals and Birds
Lauro A. Barbosa, Guilherme J. M. Garcia, Jafferson K. L. da Silva
Allometric scaling is one of the most pervasive laws in biology. Its origin, however, is still a matter of dispute. Recent studies have established that maximum metabolic rate scal…
Long-Bone Allometry of Terrestrial Mammals and the Geometric-Shape and Elastic-Force Constraints of Bone Evolution
V. B. Kokshenev, J. K. L. Silva, G. J. M. Garcia
A natural similarity in body dimensions of terrestrial animals noticed by ancient philosophers remains the main key to the problem of mammalian skeletal evolution with body mass ex…
