Are classical predator-prey models relevant to the real world?
Mathematical models of predator-prey population dynamics are widely used for predicting the effect of predators as biocontrol agents, but the assumptions of the models are more relevant to parasite-host systems. Predator-prey systems, at least in insects, substantially differ from what is assumed by these models. The main differences are: (i) Juveniles and adults have to be considered as two di...
متن کاملMedical Informatics: Concepts and Applications
Medical Informatics is a developing body of knowledge concerned with the use of information and communication technology in support of medical research, education and also for promoting health care delivery. The field focuses on the biomedical information, patient data, and also acquisition, storage, retrieval and optimal use of information for problem solving and decision making. The goal of m...
متن کاملNanotechnology safety concerns revisited.
Nanotechnology is an emerging science involving manipulation of matter at the nanometer scale. Due to concerns over nanomaterial risks, there has been a dramatic increase in focused safety research. The present review provides a summary of these published findings, identifying areas of agreement and discordance with regard to: (1) the potential for nanomaterial exposure, (2) the relative hazard...
متن کاملNanotechnology Safety Resources
Because of their tiny size, they can get deep into the lungs and, once in the bloodstream, may be able to cross the blood-brain barrier. Particles deposited in the nasal region may be able to enter the brain by translocation along the olfactory nerve. Particles, especially composites, may be able to penetrate the skin, and even some protective equipment. The smaller the particle, the more likel...
متن کاملConcepts and correlations relevant to general anaesthesia.
General anaesthesia has become so safe since its introduction just over 150 years ago that the risk associated with it has become almost immeasurably small: less than one death solely attributable to anaesthesia occurs per 200 000 procedures. This progress has been achieved in the absence of generally accepted hypotheses for the mechanisms of general anaesthesia. Does it matter whether mechanis...
