This study estimated the risk associated with chronic consumption of water with high concentrations of arsenic in children and adults living in six Andean locations, in Chile. Concentrations of arsenic in the drinking water were analyzed between 2014 and 2017 based on health authority reports and...
متن کاملPotential Carcinogenic Risks of Aspartame
Aspartame is an intense artificial sweetener with a sweet test approximately 200 times that of sucrose and used as additive in more than 6,000 products. Aspartame was invented by GD-Searle in 1965 and submitted for pre-marketing safety evaluation in early 1980s.

In addition, there are also problems to understand the concept of complexity from the perspective of physics and the epistemology of physics. Three outstanding topics in this regard are discussed: 1. the fundamental context-dependence of the de nition of complexity, 2. the ...
متن کاملSome problems with assessing Cope's Rule.
Cope's Rule states that the size of species tends to increase along an evolutionary lineage. A basic statistical framework is elucidated for testing Cope's Rule and some surprising complications are pointed out. If Cope's Rule is formulated in terms of mean size, then it is not invariant to the way in which size is measured. If Cope's Rule is formulated in terms of median size, then it is not i...
متن کاملSome Basic Considerations in Planning for Research in Southern Problems.
THEE are so many existing organizations that scientists, as well as others, have long since grown weary of the addition of more organizations with more or less duplication of purpose, more meetings to attend and more papers to be read. Every new organization which is to succeed must justify itself in terms of a distinct purpose and plan of activities. The Southern Association of Science and Ind...
