Exploitation, sexual

There are many functions of protonema it represents an organ of biosynthesis, substrate exploitation, absorption and solute transport and lastly of new shoot production. Whether it is produced during a sexual or vegetative cycle, it is a cellular clone that vegetatively multiply the number of new gametophores. 

The recent approval of the SNRI duloxetine for the treatment of diabetic neuropathy reinforces the utility of this drug class in the treatment of neuropathic pain. Other largely untapped areas which remain to be exploited with this drug class include sexual dysfunction, such as premature ejaculation, irritable bowel syndrome, obesity, neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson s disease, restless leg syndrome, and substance abuse and addiction. It is apparent that considerable opportunities for drug discovery will exist in this area for some time to come. 

Although the most well-known date rape drug is Rohypnol (see Chapter 5), the effects of GHB have also been exploited and used to commit sexual assault. In fact, the number of GHB-related sexual assaults in recent years has paralleled or even surpassed those involving Rohypnol. The number of GHB-related sexual assaults may be vastly underestimated because GHB is metabolized rapidly by the body and is often not detectable in blood or urine when the victim reports the...

Early onset of drug abuse is associated with early sexual activity, crime, and educational failure. Young amphetamine users risk exploitation by adults and are more likely to become involved in criminal or violent behavior and prostitution—having to resort to sex for survival. Consequently, they are also more likely to become infected with HIV or other sexually transmitted diseases and by tuberculosis or other bacterial, fungal, or viral infections. Chronic amphetamine abusers are also more at risk for mental and emotional disorders including anxiety, phobias, and depression. They are at higher risk of suicide. 

Plankton patchiness is widely acknowledged as a ubiquitous and key feature of marine ecosystems (Martin 2003). Many organisms have been shown to exploit patches of food (e.g., Tiselius 1992), and patch formation may be important in the foraging success of many marine invertebrates (Seuront et al. 2001) and vertebrates (Cartamil and Lowe 2004), as well as for the sexual encounters among individuals of relatively rare species (Buskey 1998). While the quantification of the spatial and temporal structure of phytoplankton distributions has for the most part focussed on empirical observations at scales greater... 

Sexual politics reduces the interracial to black self-hatred and white exploitation of social disparity. I chafe against the poverty of this politics. But. .. to point out the poverty of the politicization of the interracial is not...
