This book presents studies of growth mechanisms. It introduces the general growth law, which is a fundamental law of Nature. As a fundamental law, it acts in entire Universe. It is this law that creates inter-terrestrial life in any part of Universe once appropriate conditions occur. This law universally governs evolutionary development and individual growth and replication of all living organisms, at different scale levels, from cells and cellular components to organs, organisms' systems and whole organisms. The general growth law is also that previously unknown high level mechanism that secures balanced growth of different organs and systems within the same organism. The study relates and connects numerous aspects of growth and replication, which previously were considered to be unrelated fragments, into a single coherent phenomenon governed by a fundamental law of Nature - the general growth law. It was discovered that the answer to the growth puzzle and life origin in general is in the unity of geometrical and biochemical mechanisms, in which geometry leads the game. This should be expected, since our world is nothing else but space (described by geometry), which is filled with matter, described by the physical and chemical laws. It turned out that geometrical characteristics of an organism uniquely define the distribution of nutritional resources between maintenance needs and biomass synthesis. In turn, the amount of synthesized biomass defines composition of biochemical reactions. Thus, during growth, combined changes in an organism's geometry cause changes in distribution of nutrient influx between biomass synthesis and maintenance, which accordingly changes the composition of biochemical reactions in such a way that organisms progress through the whole growth cycle. In addition, the book significantly advances the subject of population growth. The material is well presented. Any person interested in the subject will understand the introduced concepts, which is much facilitated by numerous graphical illustrations and numerical examples.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

By modern standards, Yuri K. Shestopaloff is a strange man. He does different things, which is probably not as surprising as that he does them well, whether it is poetic creations, stories, mathematical or biological studies. However, in this specialized world, there is no room for multifaceted talents. He might be called a "natural philosopher", which he probably really is, but our time recognizes neither such occupation nor destiny, forgetting how to comprehend the meaning of natural philosophy as such. On a formal note, the author started his career as an Applied Mathematician and Engineer-Physicist, receiving his M.Sc (Engineer-Physicist) and PhD degrees from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology. He accomplished his Doctor of Sciences degree for developing navigation and remote sensing systems and mathematical methods for data interpretation and processing. He has worked as Associate Professor, Full Professor and Chair at Electrical Engineering Department of Academy of Transport. Simultaneously, he held position of Chief Scientist at Institute of Sensor Microelectronics of Russian Academy of Sciences. He does consulting and research on mathematical methods and computational algorithms in various fields of science and technology, developing mathematical models of different natural phenomena, in particular growth and replication models, as well as models of industrial systems and devices. He also consults on system design issues and software development. Y. Shestopaloff published fourteen professional books and over one hundred academic articles on physics, biology, remote sensing, wave propagation theory, electronics, computational and applied mathematics, and financial mathematics. Some studies received awards. He publishes articles on societal, scientific, philosophical issues; articles about the nature of poetic art and famous poets.Literary writings include rhythmic and melodic poetry with thoughtful content, assembled into two books, and songs. Short stories and novels were published in periodic magazines and also as separate books, including stories translated to English. Reviews of verses and stories by readers and review media are very positive, and many inspiring.
