β¦ Synopsis
In this paper, spatial patterns exhibited in many biological systems are studied, based on the principle of maximum entropy. A general mathematical expression of the nearest-neighbor distribution is derived for a class of interacting biological organisms-structures range from cells in a tissue to trees in a forest.

A modified images method is presented and used to determine the vapor density field in arrays of up to nine "quasi-stationary" evaporating particles. The evaporation rate of each particle in an array is calculated as a function of the particle separation. Correction factors to Maxwell's evaporation
