Preface

Sid M. Becker

This book presents a collection of 14 chapters each of which considers the modeling of transport phenomena in biological processes. The unique characteristic of this collection is that it is primarily concerned with the transport behavior occurring at the microscale. The chapters presented in this book consider a wide range of biological processes including microscale bio-heat transfer, molecular transport involved in the lipid bilayer environment, swimming of microorganisms, digestion of food, microbial degradation of oils, transport of mucus in the lung, transport of pollen in flowering plants, and transport of organelles in neural networks.

Each of this book's chapters is authored by internationally recognized researchers ...
