Carmel - 

I don't know if this will help, but there are a number of different 
publications from COMAP that deal with growth/decay application problems. You 
could get a catalogue by checking out their website:

http://www.comap.com/

The other thing I might suggest is to do a search on the Net. One of the 
things I have found useful is searching using the term 'mathematical 
modeling'. You tend to get quite a few good sites with interesting 
applications. 

Another suggestion that struck me was checking on cellular automota (or 
automata) - I can't remember which. As I recall you get some nice examples 
that way.

Good luck.

Rick
