{"product_id":"new-visions-on-form-and-growth","title":"New Visions on Form and Growth","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere exists a wide variety of patterns in nature, from inert matter such as crystalline dendrites and flames, to filamentous fungi and neurones in the living world. Their structural evolution during growth can be theoretically modelled in order to predict the shape of their forms, their dimensions and their growth rate. 'New Visions on Growth and Form' aims at answering such questions by employing different theoretical approaches and providing a critical appraisal.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe book belongs to the wide field of non-equilibrium statistical physics, and explores different mechanisms such as transport, interfacial tension, and chemical reactions, which\n\u003cbr\u003egovern the growth of a material. It explains the fundamental equations relating different morphological quantities, as well as the relevant experimental control parameters. From the unifying concepts arising in the theoretical approach the author proposes a tentative description of cell morphogenesis as a further application of the theory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43934937645294,"sku":"9780198527015","price":231.35,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780198527015.jpg?v=1706236429","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/new-visions-on-form-and-growth","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
