Overview: biological consequences of environmental control.
A retrospective analysis of 108 cases of primary germ cell tumours of testis seen over a 6 year period at Institute Rotary Cancer Hospital of All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi is presented. There were 45 (42%) cases of seminoma and 63 (48%) of non-seminomatous germ cell tumours (NSGCT). The median age at presentation was 35 and 30 years respectively. Almost half (56) patients p...
متن کاملBiological consequences of environmental control through housing.
Housing was originally devised as a control of the thermal environment, but numerous other functions have been added with resulting competition and confusion. Current design gives insufficient attention to thermal factors and relies upon supplementary heating and cooling to compensate for faults. These are wasteful of energy, and the exhaust from air conditioners adds to the heat island conditi...
متن کاملBiometeorological consequences of environmental controls: overview.
We have studied the genetic alterations acquired during selection of a cloned human leukaemic cell line (CEM/VP-1) that is 15-fold more resistant to the anticancer topoisomerase Il-inhibitor etoposide than parental CCRF-CEM cells. CEM/VP-1 cells exhibit an 'atypical MDR' phenotype: cross resistance to other topo II inhibitors (but not Vinca alkaloids) and expression of a drug-resistant topo II ...
متن کاملEvaluation of chemical and biological consequences of soil sterilization methods
Sterilized soils are commonly used for the study of xenobiotic sorption and as an abiotic control in biodegradation experiments. They are also used for the chemical study of nitrogen and carbon cycle processes and the elimination of the biological factors. In this research the effects of different soil sterilization methods such as autoclaving, fumigating and exposure to ultraviolet and microwa...
متن کاملOverview of the Role of Generalist Predators in Biological Control
Some experiments indicate the ability of coccinellids to significantly suppress aphid abundance. Exclusion of predators by caging aphid-infested plants has repeatedly resulted in higher aphid populations and greater aphid population growth rates. However, aphidophagous coccinellids have never proved effective in controlling aphid populations in the field. To resolve this apparent contradiction,...
