Biological status

Magnitude of clinical response = potency at site of action + drug concentration at site of action + biological status of the patient... 

Eutrophication A complex series of inter-related changes in the chemical and biological status of a water body most often manifested by a depletion of the oxygen content caused by decay of organic matter resulting from a high level of primary productivity and typically caused by enhanced nutrient input. 

For all these systems, cells are grown in the individual, sensor-containing wells of the microtitre plates. Changes to the biological status of the cells are... 

The threat status can be used for any size or type unit. It is possible to have a CB (chemical-biological) status of three and a nuclear status of zero. 

In addition to the characteristic features listed for the quality grades under A) above, further identification criteria are provided below, including those relating to specialized techniques of biological status analyses (eg saprobic index, doublets/triplets) and also characteristic chemical values.

The recent increase in the understanding of biological processes in lakes has led to the development of ecotechnical methods of manipulating the trophic status of lakes. The most widely used techniques of bio-manipulation involve artificial change in the abundance of predators to enhance grazing of phytoplankton by zooplankton. The increase in grazing pressure reduces phytoplankton densities and results in improved water transparency.
