Journal of Biological Systems Vol. 18, No. 4

The�Journal of Biological Systems�is published quarterly. The goal of the Journal is to promote interdisciplinary approaches in Biology and in Medicine, and the study of biological situations with a variety of tools, including mathematical and general systems methods. The Journal solicits original research papers and survey articles in areas that include (but are not limited to):
(a)��
Complex systems studies; isomorphies; nonlinear dynamics; entropy; mathematical tools and systems theories with applications in Biology and Medicine.
(b)��
Interdisciplinary approaches in Biology and Medicine; transfer of methods from one discipline to another; integration of biological levels, from atomic to molecular, macromolecular, cellular, and organic levels; animal biology; plant biology.
(c)��
Environmental studies; relationships between individuals, populations, communities and ecosystems; bioeconomics, management of renewable resources; hierarchy theory; integration of spatial and time scales.
(d)��
Evolutionary biology; co-evolutions; genetics and evolution; branching processes and phyllotaxis.
(e)��
Medical systems; physiology; cardiac modeling; computer models in Medicine; cancer research; epidemiology.
(f)��
Numerical simulations and computations; numerical study and analysis of biological data.
(g)��
Epistemology; history of science.
