Classification of life

Margulis, L. (1996) Archaeal-eubacterial mergers in the origin of Eukarya phylogenetic classification of life. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 93, 1071-1076. 

Remarkably, the most information-rich classifications of life shows three main divisions, sometimes called domains, which are more fundamental than the distinction between plants and animals, or prokaryotes and eukaryotes. These domains are ...

Szathmary, E. (1999), Chemes, genes, memes a revised classification of replicators , Lectures on Mathematics in the Life Sciences, 26, 1-10. 

The life safety features that apply begin with the classification of the building or structure under evaluation. Classification of a building is a combination of hazard of contents and occupancy. 

This volume of the series Medicinal Plants of the World Chemical Constituents, Modern and Traditional Medicinal Uses contains information on 16 plant species and follows the same format as volumes 1 and 2. Some of the plants discussed in volume 3 may be considered controversial in their classification as medicinal. However, the Paracelsian dictum that sola dosis fecit venenum has been appreciated since ancient times, and throughout the ages many highly toxic materials used for lethal purposes have also found applications in modern medicine. It has been recognized that plants contain substances that are either harmful or toxic. However, it is wrong to think that there are plant toxins that are known or that are likely to have adverse effects on any and every form of life. A common feature of most toxic plants is that they are also known for their curative properties, and although they may provide the cure for an individual s disease at one dose, they may cause the death of the same individual at another. 

There are several bodies of information that feed into our understanding of stellar nucleosynthesis. We will start with a discussion of the classification of stars, their masses and mass distributions, and their lifetimes. From this information we can assess the relative importance of different types of stars to the nucleosynthesis of the elements in our solar system and in the galaxy. We will then discuss the life cycles of stars to give a framework for the discussion of nucleosynthesis processes. Next, we will review the nuclear pathways... 

Problem solving is an important and integral part of physical chemistry in addition to the concepts, principles and methods. There is a vast range of problems closed problems, with one answer open problems, which can have more than one answer and for which data may not be supplied problems that can be solved by pencil-and-paper or by the computer problems that need experiment in order to be solved and real-life problems versus scientific problems or even thought problems. A thorough classification of problem types has been made by Johnstone (107).
