Title: Dynamic modeling in the health sciences
First published: 1998
Description: "The study of complex physiological and metabolic aspects of human health can be powerfully enhanced by the use of simulation software. This book and accompanying CD integrate the use of STELLA software into the teaching of health, nutrition, and physiology. The book can be used on its own as a textbook in nutrition and physiology courses, or can serve as a supplement to introduce the role of simulation modeling.

Dynamic Modeling in the Health Sciences presents key subjects ranging from the theory of metabolic control to weight regulation to bone metabolism, and gives readers the tools to simulate these dynamic processes with STELLA software. Topics include methods for simulation of gene expression, a multi-stage model of tumor development, theories of aging, circadian rhythms and physiological time, and a model for managing weight loss and preventing obesity."--BOOK JACKET.
