Dynamic Modeling in the Health Sciences
By James L. Hargrove
Springer
$62.95
|
The study of complex physiological and metabolic aspects of human health can be powerfully enhanced with user-friendly simulation software. Written by associate professor of foods and nutrition James Har-grove, Dynamic Modeling in the Health Sciences and accompanying CD-ROM integrate the use of software into the teaching of health, nutrition and physiology. The book can be used on its own as a textbook in nutrition and physiology courses or can serve as a supplement to introduce the role of simulation modeling.
The book presents key subjects ranging from the theory of metabolic control to weight regulation to bone metabolism and gives readers the tools to simulate these dynamic processes with software. Topics include methods for simulation of gene expression, a multi-stage model of tumor development, theories of aging, circadian rhythms and physiological time and a model for managing weight loss and preventing obesity.
The book is part of the Modeling Dynamic Series that promotes the spread of “systems thinking” by integrating state-of-the-art modeling techniques with the theories and concepts of specific disciplines or interdisciplinary topics. The unifying theme of the series is the ease, power and transparency of model building.
