Social relevance

Hormonal influences may be limited to sexually relevant cues, since not all scent marks are socially relevant in all situations (Petrulis et al., 1995 and 1997). Chemoinvestigation by male hamsters of the female-indicator compound DMDS was independent of T. and did not differ from that of females. In contrast, the frequency of chemoinvestigation by castrates to vaginal secretion (containing DMDS) was enhanced by T. intact males investigated FHVS five times more than they do the females.

From the point of view of the science of reverse osmosis, the fundamental question is "what governs reverse osmosis separations ". This is an intensely practical question because, to the extent this question is answered correctly, precisely, and completely, to that extent - and, to that extent only - the applications and technology of reverse osmosis can be made effective. Further, this overriding question becomes specially significant when one considers the obvious potential applications of reverse osmosis, and their immense social relevance in the context of today. 

While forensic science input is perhaps the most important, relevant information from several areas such as analytical techniques, toxicology, materials science, biology, etc. is often necessary. This means that the most effective approach is achieved through the formation of interdisciplinary teams for the attack on particular research problems. This interdisciplinary approach is, of course, required in any complex area involving problems of social relevance. 

How great is the student interest in such a program While we have no firm statistics, we have reason to believe that it will not be difficult to fill available positions (ca. 15 - 20 full-time) with qualified candidates. Information from existing M.S. programs in forensic science indicates that there are many more applicants than positions available, and we have had inquiries from over 40 students and 20 universities even at this early stage of our program. Student interest in careers in forensic science undoubtedly follows the national trend toward professional education with social relevance (e.g. law, allied health professions, etc.).

Despite the high social relevance of infectious diseases and widespread use of animal cell lines in vaccine production, the application of even unstructured models for quantitative analysis and parameter estimation has not been common practice in bioprocess optimization. So far, research concerning influenza vaccine production in MDCK cell cultures has focused on the characterization of metabolism, growth of different cell lines and virus yields in various production systems [1,2]. 

Emotions may be said to be more intense the more persistent the intentions, the longer these remain, and the more varied the structures are. It is this kind of Intensity that is of social relevance, rather than the intensity of momentary response, the loudness of the voice, the number of tears spent. Who. .. is more afraid of nuclear war he whose heart beats violently upon some news item, or bites his lips and reads with a contorted face, or he who, when considering the risks of nuclear war, modifies his life plans, enters politics, or loses his interest in life 94... 

Social relevance - the public and decision-makers should value it. 

OT is a nine amino acid neuropeptide that, together with the other socially relevant neuropeptide vasopressin, is synthesized in the neurons of the paraventricular and supraoptic nuclei of the hypothalamus. After its production, oxytocin is transported along the axons of these neurons, stored in their vesicles, and finally segregated by the posterior pimitary gland. Peripherally, oxytocin stimulates the contraction of the uterus during labor and also the contraction of... 

The vomeronasal organ contains sensory afferents of a system that appears to be especially important in the detection of socially relevant chemical signals. The organ is physically separate from the olfactory epithelium and resides at the base of the nasal septum or in the hard palate. 

Transform engineering education to emphasise the social relevance and problem-solving nature of engineering. 

Environmental chemistry is the science of chemical processes in the environment. It is a profoundly interdisciplinary and socially relevant field. What environmental chemists do has important consequences for society because they are concerned with the effect of pollutants on the land, water, and air that humans depend on for their life, health, and proper functioning. Environmental chemists are forced to break down barriers that have traditionally kept chemists isolated from other fields.
