Neural Investment as an Entropy-Budget Strategy: A Thermodynamic Derivation of Primate Longevity from the Principle of Biological Time Equivalence
Mesfin Taye
Primates exhibit a robust deviation from canonical allometric scaling: at fixed body mass, their lifespans exceed those of non-primate mammals by factors of two to three. A rhesus…
The Lifetime Cardiac-Cycle Invariant in Endothermic Vertebrates: A 230-Species Comparative Dataset, Statistical Validation, and Explicit Falsifiability Criteria
Mesfin Taye
A pygmy shrew (\textit{Suncus etruscus}, \,g) sustains a resting heart rate near \,beats\,min and dies within two years; an African elephant (${\approx}…
Biological Time Equivalence in Vertebrates: Thermodynamic Framework, Comparative Tests, and Clade-Specific Deviations
Mesfin Taye
The product of resting heart rate and maximum lifespan is approximately constant across adult warm-blooded vertebrates, cardiac cycles, a regularity…
Drug Washout and Viral Rebound: Modeling HIV Reactivation Under ART Discontinuation
Mesfin Taye
Due to the persistence of latently infected CD4 T cells, achieving a functional cure for HIV-1 remains a significant challenge since the viruses are able to evade immune cleara…
The physics of Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate
Mesfin Asfaw Taye
An erythrocytes sedimentation rate (ESR) measures how fast a blood sample sediments along a test tube in one hour in a clinical laboratory. Since elevated level of ESR is associate…
