Sub-Category A-vii: Protection Orders

Reply to Bridgewater and Babin: Need for a new protected area category for ecosystem services.

We thank Bridgewater and Babin (1) for their perspective. We are aware of, and appreciate, the consideration of ecosystem services in the management of Biosphere Reserves. However, we see a strong imperative for establishing a protected area (PA) category focused specifically on protecting ecosystem services, for several key reasons articulated in our paper (2) and below. First, although China ...

Quantum Geometrodynamics Creates New Problems

The development of last years in quantum geometrodynamics highlights new problems which were not obvious in its first formulation proposed by Wheeler and DeWitt. At the first stage the main task was to apply known quantization schemes to gravitational field or a certain cosmological model. This way has led to the realization of the fact that a quantum description of the Universe is impossible w...

How e-learning creates new opportunities in hospital settings? Innovations in a low resource setting

Background: E-learning and telemedicine have become common methods in changing and developing medical education and clinical processes. The purpose of this study was to describe the innovations of blending e-Learning into the educational and medical processes of hospital services Methods: The process of action research included plan, act, observation and reflection was followed. Implementation,...

VII.2 Mathematical Biology

(i) Finding the arrangement of atoms that gives rise to the observed scattering patterns of X-rays or electrons from a crystal. (ii) Reconstructing a 3D image from 2D projections in microscopy or X-ray tomography. (iii) Reconstructing the geometry of a molecule given probable interatomic distances (and perhaps bond angles and torsion angles). (iv) Finding the way in which a protein molecule fol...
