Extreme Executive Summaries... (just prettiness but anyway here goes):
Matt Visser - Some notes on zero-order life: These are my notes on attempts at understanding the West et al analysis. Definitely subject to change. Major update as of 27 Aug 03. Now also contains notes on general heirachies and the space filling condition, and the limits to scaling, as well as fixing typos in the previous discussion of the two most fundamental systems: --- the arterial and capillary sytems.
- Scaling laws in biology
- Hierarchical branching systems
- Energy dissipation
- 4 is the magic number of the universe
