UNSOLVED PROBLEMS OF NOISE AND FLUCTUATIONS: UPoN 2002: Third International Conference on Unsolved Problems of Noise and Fluctuations in Physics, Biology, and High Technology

3rd International Conference on Unsolved Problems of Noise and Fluctuations in Physics, Biology, and High Technology

Sergey M. Bezrukov, NICHD, National Institutes of Health, Lab. Physical and Structural Biology, Bethesda, MD, USA

Conference Location and Date: Washington, DC, 3-6 September 2002

Subseries: Mathematical and Statistical Physics

Published May 2003; ISBN 0-7354-0127-6, One Volume, Print; 634 pages; 6 3/8 X 9 1/4 inches; Hardcover; $175.00

Readership: All physicists interested in biology, all biologists interested in the physics of living matter. Scientists in the areas of physics, biology, and chemistry.

All papers in this proceedings volume were peer reviewed. The purview of this third conference was shifted toward biology and medicine. Among the topics covered were: the constructive role of noise in the central nervous system, neuronal networks, and sensory transduction (hearing in humans, photo- and electroreception in marine animals), encoding of information into nerve pulse trains, single molecules and noise (including single molecule detection and characterization by nanopores - molecular "Coulter counting"), concepts of noise in neurophysiology (randomness and order in brain and heart electrical activities under normal conditions and in pathology), the role of noise in genetic regulation and gene expression, biosensors, etc.
