Horizons in World Physics. Volume 310

This volume contains seven chapters that detail horizons in world physics. Chapter One discusses theoretical constructions, namely the GIM-theory (gradient instability mechanism theory). Chapter Two reviews the statistical models developed over time to study host-parasite coevolution. Chapter Three assesses the theoretical frameworks that illustrate the phenomenon of cooperation at various scales of biological organization, ranging from micro to macroscopic organisms. Chapter Four discusses relativistic meta-electrons. Chapter Five investigates the effects of extremely low frequency and high frequency electromagnetic fields on the secondary structure of typical proteins by means of Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy techniques. Chapter Six presents the influence of the neutrino flux on atmospheric water in Europe. Finally, Chapter Seven focuses on analyzing the conversion of solar radiation by biological systems, through an endoreversible photosynthesis engine, which consists of a photo-thermal work extractor coupled with a chemical reactor to synthesize glucose.
