Conservation of Red Sandle Wood (<i>Pterocarpus santalinus</i>): need greater cooperation

Conservation Options: Toward a Greater Private Role

This paper examines and critiques the ways in which the national government supports the conservation of currently private land. The federal government regulates the development of private land through laws such as the Endangered Species Act; finances the acquisition of fee and other interests in land by federal, state, and local governmental agencies; provides grants to land trusts and other n...

Blood conservation strategies to reduce the need for red blood cell transfusion in critically ill patients.

Anemia commonly affects critically ill patients. The causes are multifactorial and include acute blood loss, blood loss from diagnostic testing and blunted red blood cell production. Blood transfusions are frequently given to patients in intensive care units to treat low hemoglobin levels due to either acute blood loss or subacute anemia associated with critical illness. Although blood transfus...

Big-Science facilities in Europe need greater coordination of resources

The leading role in science played by crystallography is heavily dependent on Big-Science facilities. The need for Europe-wide coordination of operational resources in Big Science is discussed with particular reference to neutron sources.

The need for greater awareness on the importance of prevention.

Although advances in medicine have been dramatic and, generally, patients have benefitted from this, it has become increasingly clear that while demand for medical services is virtually limitless, available resources are limited. This is not only true of Malaysia but even of such developed countries such as the USA. National priorities will have to be considered to ensure that the health dollar...
