Biological Boundaries and Biological Age
Acta Biotheoretica, 2009The chronologic age classically used in demography is often unable to give useful information about which exact stage in development or aging processes has reached an organism. Hence, we propose here to explain in some applications for what reason the chronologic age fails in explaining totally the observed state of an organism, which leads to propose ...

Unconventional Biological Threats and the Molecular Biological Response to Biological Threats
The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 2002This article concludes this symposium on potential agents of warfare and terrorism with discussion of 3 topics. First, influenza A virus is discussed as a potential biological weapon. Although it does not receive much attention in this role, the potential for mass casualties and public panic certainly exist if an epidemic of a virulent influenza A ...

The Importance of Biological Databases in Biological Discovery
Current Protocols in Bioinformatics, 2015AbstractBiological databases play a central role in bioinformatics. They offer scientists the opportunity to access a wide variety of biologically relevant data, including the genomic sequences of an increasingly broad range of organisms. This unit provides a brief overview of major sequence databases and portals, such as GenBank, the UCSC Genome ...

Biological Naturalism and Biological Realism
2018This chapter summarizes the main principles of Biological Naturalism (BN) and Biological Realism (BR), and analyzes some of their similarities and differences. It contrasts the biological approach represented by BN and BR with another currently influential approach: information theories of consciousness, especially the Information Integration Theory ...

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1995
In biological markets, two classes of traders exchange commodities to their mutual benefit. Characteristics of markets are: competition within trader classes by contest or outbidding; preference for partners offering the highest value; and conflicts over the exchange value of commodities.

What Are Biologics, Biological Products and Biological Drugs?
2014Following the deaths of 14 children from contaminated antitoxins and smallpox vaccines, Congress in 1902 passed the Biologics Control Act, which is also known as The Virus-Toxin Law. This act required manufacturers to be licensed for safety and was a precursor and model for the Food Drugs and Cosmetics Act of 1938 which also emphasized safety.

Science and Engineering Ethics, 2012
Reductionist explanations in biology generally assume that biological mechanisms are highly deterministic and basically similar between individuals. A contrasting view has emerged recently that takes into account the degeneracy of biological processes--the ability to arrive at a given endpoint by a variety of available paths, even within the same ...

Nature, 1965
The title of my presidential address, you will have discerned, is "A Biological Retrospect," and on the whole it has not been well received. 'Why a biological retrospect?,' I have been asked; would it not be more in keeping with the spirit of the occasion if I were to speak of the future of biology rather than of its past?

From Biological Data to Biological Knowledge
2007Large scale biological knowledge still organization remains a challenge in life sciences. Not only because related information is spread across several distributed information resources, but also because context dependent information retrieval suffers from an absence of semantic capabilities in biological databases.
