Diffusive spreading in nature, technology and society
Diffusive spreading in nature, technology and society[electronic resource] /edited by Armin Bunde ... [et al.]. - Second edition. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2023. - 1 online resource (xxiv, 517 p.) :ill., digital ;24 cm.

What the Book Is Dealing With -- Spreading Fundamentals -- Dispersal in Plants and Animals -- Search for Food of Birds, Fish and Insects -- Epicuticular Wax Formation and Regeneration-A Remarkable Diffusion Phenomenon for Maintaining Surface Integrity and Functionality in Plant Surfaces -- Brain Interstitial Structure Revealed Through Diffusive Spread of Molecules -- Turbulent Diffusion in the Atmosphere -- Hot Brownian Motion -- On Phase Transitions in Biased Diffusion of Interacting Particles.

What do the movements of molecules and the migration of humans have in common? How does the functionality of our brain tissue resemble the flow of traffic in New York City? How can understanding the spread of ideas, rumors, and languages help us tackle the spread a pandemic? This book provides an illuminating look into these seemingly disparate topics by exploring and expertly communicating the fundamental laws that govern the spreading and diffusion of objects. A collection of leading scientists in disciplines as diverse as epidemiology, linguistics, mathematics, and physics discuss various spreading phenomena relevant to their own fields, revealing astonishing similarities and correlations between the objects of study-be they people, particles, or pandemics. This updated and expanded second edition of an award-winning book introduces timely coverage of a subject with the greatest societal impact in recent memory-the global fight against COVID-19. Winner of the 2019 Literature Prize of the German Chemical Industry Fund, this book targets an interdisciplinary readership, featuring an introductory chapter that sets the stage for the topics discussed throughout. Each chapter provides ample opportunity to whet the appetite of those readers seeking a more in-depth treatment, making the book also useful as supplementary reading in appropriate courses dealing with complex systems, mass transfer, and network theory.
