Biological Limits of Promotion
2021A serious misunderstanding is the common claim that “heritability” indicates the biological limits of the trait’s modifiability.This is not the case.

The Biological Limits on Autonomy
The Hastings Center Report, 1984I n the last fifteen years individual rights have been increasingly emphasized at the expense of personal obligations to the human community-past, present, and future. Much of my concern for the implications of this development may conveniently be discussed under the rubric of "autonomy." Indeed, I have a growing impression that autonomy has supplanted

LIMIT CYCLES IN COUPLED BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS
IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 1982Abstract The paper investigates the effect of coupling on the synchronized oscillations of biological systems. The individual oscillators of the system are modelled as relay oscillators with the advantage that exact determination of the synchronized oscillations is possible using an extension of Tsypkin's method.

Reticulocytes: Biological variations and reference limits
European Journal of Haematology, 1994Abstract: The reticulocyte count is a good index of erythropoietic activity. Automated methods, mainly flow cytometry, have made the counting easier, more accurate and reproducible. The data presented describe the counting of reticulocytes in 1219 apparently healthy subjects of both sexes who came for a periodic health examination.

Biological limits of temperature and pressure
Origins of Life, 1980Most biologists do not take into account that the greatest portion of today's biosphere is in the realm of environmental extremes, most of it being cold and under pressure. Since bacteria have the ability to adapt to environmental extremes, a close examination for the presence and/or growth of bacteria at high and low temperatures, low temperature and ...

Biological Weapons: Limiting the Threat
International Journal, 1999foreword by William S. Cohen, U.S. Secretary of Defense Biological weapons pose a horrifying and growing threat to the United States and to the world in general. Revelations about Iraq's weapons research and the plans of the Aum Shinrikyo cult in Japan serve as frightening reminders of the potential for military or terrorist use of biological agents ...

Biological Process Diffusional Limitations
Journal of the Environmental Engineering Division, 1981Recently, it has been suggested that oxygen transport limitations within activated sludge flocs may induce the onset of bulking phenomena. Further more, several groups have recently employed the concept of an effectiveness factor, as developed form chemical engineering science, to correct of effectiveness limitations within microbial particles or ...

Biological suicide research: Outcome and limitations
Biological Psychiatry, 1986Empirical study of suicide began early in this century from the sociological (Durkheim 1951) and psychological (Freud 1956) perspective. A decade ago, a biological dimension was added, focusing on two major issues, i.e., are disturbances in brain functioning instrumental in the occurrence of suicidal behavior and/or do such disturbances increase the ...

The Limits of Biological Determinism
American Sociological Review, 2001Udry (2000, henceforward Udry), claims to have established that sex dimorphic behavior is produced by prenatal exposure to varying levels of testosterone. He concludes that if societies "depart too far from the underlying sex-dimorphism of biological predispositions, they will generate social malaise and social pressures to drift back toward closer ...
