Delves into the historical motivations behind the second law of thermodynamics, emphasizing limitations in heat-to-work conversion and the inevitability of irreversible processes.
Explains the first principle of thermodynamics and transformations of ideal gases, including isothermal, isochoric, isobaric, and adiabatic processes with practical examples.
Covers modeling and analyzing complex biological networks, focusing on metabolism and signaling, using techniques like flux balance analysis and kinetic modeling.
