Life increasing complexity

In the course of phylogeny an efficient control system evolved that enabled the functions of individual organs to be orchestrated in increasingly complex life forms and permitted rapid adaptation to changing environmental conditions. [Pg.80]

The unique properties of highly fluorinated materials are thus expected to continue inspire chemists, offer new research tools for the life sciences, and contribute to the emergence of new diagnostic and therapeutic innovations. Pharmaceutical development involves increasing complexity and heavy regulatory, financial, and other constraints, and time. Managing such complexity... [Pg.480]

Subcutaneous administration leads to a peak heparin level 2 h after injection and an onset of anticoagulant effect within 1-2 h. Intravenous administration leads to an immediate peak heparin level with anticoagulant activity within 20-30 min. Heparin binds extensively to a number of plasma proteins. Its volume of distribution is 0.07lkg in adults. The pharmacokinetics of heparin is complex and incompletely understood. Heparin metabolism occurs primarily in the reticuloendothelial system by desulfation. The LMWH agents have longer half-lives than standard heparin. Heparin s elimination half-life increases disproportionately with increasing dose, indicating saturable kinetics. [Pg.1312]

Probably, life was destined to happen because it is an effective (and efficient) way to degrade available energy. Once it started, we believe evolution was also inevitable, as an ecosystem would of necessity develop with greater and increasing complexity but this development is of the ecosystem of organisms plus the environment, not just a development of organisms. The ecosystem evolved in the way it did because of the required chemistry of effective energy capture. Many forms of life evolved, but only the multifarious mixture of them is optimal. Within the development of... [Pg.487]
