Publications by authors named "Vladimir F Levchenko"

Article Synopsis
  • - The text examines the aging and degradation of biological organisms through the lens of statistical physics, focusing on two key timescales: metabolic processes and life cycles.
  • - It proposes a kinetic equation to explain short-term processes in these systems and emphasizes the need for a constant input of negative entropy to keep biological systems stable.
  • - The study includes an analysis of epithelial aging and discusses the relationship between this approach and information theory, including the concept of cooperons and their evolution over time.

Modern evolutionary computation utilizes heuristic optimizations based upon concepts borrowed from the Darwinian theory of natural selection. Their demonstrated efficacy has reawakened an interest in other aspects of contemporary biology as an inspiration for new algorithms. However, amongst the many excellent candidates for study, contemporary models of biological macroevolution attract special attention.
