33. There are four topics related to biomaterials and biocompatibility which I feel are key problems, are often unrecognized, and are therefore rich opportunities for work in the near future: (i) the covalent instability of proteins, (ii) the concept of statistical specificity and statistical heterogeneity, (iii) the
issue of solid surface dynamics and surface relaxation, and (iv) the growing concern with the costs of health care and of medical research.
67. (
iv) the response and resilience of rainforest systems to climatic and land-use change; and (v) the scientific messages and policy implications arising from the research findings presented in the issue.
70. The papers in this
issue represent biogeographic and ecological perspectives and address the general themes of (i) the niche, (ii) comparative ecology and macroecology, (iii) community assembly, and (iv) diversity.
76. Subsequent administration of the same IL-2 dose by
iv injection caused recurrence of the problem again necessitating discontinuation of IL-2 treatment.
77. In this work, we address the
problem of automated measurement of the interventricular septum thickness, one of the key parameters in cardiology, from B-mode echocardiograms.
78. (iii) suggested causes of
problem drinking among Aborigines; and (iv) treatment and preventive initiatives.
