Frank Moss was a leading figure in the study of nonlinear and stochastic processes in biological systems. His work, particularly in the area of stochastic resonance, has been highly influential to the interdisciplinary scientific community. This Focus Issue pays tribute to Moss with articles that describe the most recent advances in the field he helped to create. In this Introduction, we review Moss's seminal scientific contributions and introduce the articles that make up this Focus Issue.
弗兰克·莫斯(Frank Moss)是生物系统非线性和随机过程研究领域的领军人物。他的工作,尤其是在随机共振领域,对跨学科科学界产生了深远的影响。本期专刊向莫斯致敬,收录的文章描述了他帮助开创的这一领域的最新进展。在本期专刊的介绍中,我们回顾了莫斯的开创性科学贡献,并介绍了构成本期专刊的文章。
