The mean value of the exponent z in the equation flow = k (diameterz) was found to be 2.3 ± 0.1, which is equal to the optimal value for minimizing power and metabolic costs for fully developed turbulent flow.

The theory of minimum rate of energy dissipation states that a system is in an equilibrium condition when its rate of energy dissipation is at its minimum value. This minimum value depends on the…

A model of branching and colony growth in Caribbean gorgonian corals using parameters and variables related to actual modular structures and a scaling power law suggesting self‐organized criticality is developed.

Analysis of Purkinje neurons of rats aged 1, 10, 18 and 28 months to investigate growth and decline in the magnitude of the dendritic tree finds that exterior links are longer than interior links (non-terminal or intermediate segments), which indicates that they follow a Fibonacci series of link lengths.

Rivers are open systems and achieve a steady state or grow allometrically, according to the general equation y = ax b . This equation yields a straight line on double logarithmic paper and reflects a…
A generalization of the optimal models of arterial branching

Optimal models of arterial branching angles are usually based on the assumption that the equation relating flow and radius is given byf=kr3, but theoretical considerations coupled with empirical evidence suggest that the cubic flow equation may not be appropriate to describe the branching pattern of the arterial tree.
