His studies culminated in his book Structural Stability And Morphogenesis, published in 1972, outlining a theory to describe those situations in which gradually changing forces lead to so-called catastrophes, or to abrupt changes that could have widespread application in the physical and biological sciences and in the social sciences.
In a novel application of REFERs, an abrupt ATP-dependent pathway switch was identified for the chaperonin GroEL (69).
But the combination of over-regulation, arbitrary administrative rulings, abrupt tax changes and a primitive judicial application of business law have frustrated joint-ventures.
Furthermore, the nature of the post-stimulation particle release was distinctly different from that of the pre-stimulation release, in that an abrupt concentration change was observed in each stimulation application.
