A discrete inhomogeneous model for the yeast cell cycle

L. Wardil, J. K. L. da Silva

We study the robustness and stability of the yeast cell regulatory network by using a general inhomogeneous discrete model. We find that inhomogeneity, on average, enhances the sta…

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…

Scaling of the dynamical properties of the Fermi-Ulam accelerator model

Denis Gouvêa Ladeira, Jafferson Kamphorst Leal da Silva

The chaotic sea below the lowest energy spanning curve of the complete Fermi-Ulam model (FUM) is numerically investigated when the amplitude of oscillation 'epsilon' of the moving…

Unified Theory of Allometric Scaling

Jafferson K. L. da Silva, Lauro A. Barbosa, Paulo Roberto Silva

A general simple theory for the interspecific allometric scaling is developed in the -dimensional space ( biological lengths and a physiological time) of metabolic states o…

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…
