Prologue
Throughout my professional career, since the early 1960s, I had been associated with computers and computer science. However, by the end of the last century, I had the realization that I will be able to derive higher level of academic satisfaction from the study of life sciences. I also developed the conviction that Mother Nature has provided us with a voluminous encyclopedia from which we can learn new things every day. The knowledge gathered from the study of nature can be utilized for solving the problems in different fields of science and technology. Let me illustrate the point with a few examples. If we study the invention process of airplane by the Wright brothers, we can notice that during the period of 1899–1902, they spent considerable time to study birds in flight. From this study, they formulated the basic technology of airplane design. The next example c
