Science Priorities for Seamounts: Research Links to Conservation and Management
Seamounts shape the topography of all ocean basins and can be hotspots of biological activity in the deep sea. The Census of Marine Life on Seamounts (CenSeam) was a field program that examined seamounts as part of the global Census of Marine Life (CoML) initiative from 2005 to 2010. CenSeam progressed seamount science by collating historical data, collecting new data, undertaking regional and ...
متن کاملOperational research as implementation science: definitions, challenges and research priorities

The methods of OR have been used in healthcare since the 1950s in diverse areas such as emergency medicine and the interface between acute and community care; hospital performance; scheduling and management of patient home visits;...
متن کاملResearch Priorities of Iranian Faculty Members and PhD Students in Medical Library and Information Science
Objective: The field of “medical library and information science” has a broad research platform due to its interdisciplinary nature. However, the lack of resources necessitates the attention to research priorities in this field. This study aims to identify the research priorities of Iranian faculty members and PhD students in medical library and information science. Methods: This is a descript...
متن کاملPriorities for Endometriosis Research
Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disorder where endometrial tissue forms lesions outside the uterus. Endometriosis affects an estimated 10% of women in the reproductive-age group, rising to 30% to 50% in patients with infertility and/or pain, with significant impact on their physical, mental, and social well-being. There is no known cure, and most current medical treatments are not suitab...
متن کاملUnpredictable change in Antarctic terrestrial systems: a consequence of science and policy priorities?
Last year was not an especially good one for climate envelope models. Using a novel, null model approach, Beale et al. (2008, PNAS, 105, 14908) demonstrated that species-climate associations identified by these models were no better than chance for 68% of the European bird species they examined. They cautioned that change adaptation policies based on these models may require revision. This was ...
