Complex Reaction Kinetics in Chemistry: A Unified Picture Suggested by Mechanics in Physics by Elena Agliari, Adriano Barra, Giulio Landolfi, Sara Murciano, Sarah Perrone

“…We first show that standard cooperative kinetics can be framed in terms of classical mechanics, where the emerging phenomenology can be obtained by applying the principle of least action of classical mechanics. Further, since the saturation function plays in Chemistry the same role played by velocity in Physics, we show that a relativistic scaffold naturally accounts for the kinetics of the above-mentioned complex reactions. …”

The influence of prenatal environmental conditions on the weight of newborn domestic pigs by S. V. Nikitin, S. P. Knyazev, V. I. Ermolayev

“…The gene pool will remain unchanged in any number of generations, despite a change in the population parameters of the trait. In principle, it can be assumed that when a population reaches a certain level, when the mean value of the trait and the gene pool are optimal (the selection pressure vectors are mutually balanced), selection becomes less effective in transforming the average phenotype than changing environmental conditions. …”
