My guess is that if you turned wolves loose in your eastern
office building, they'd pee on your computer, hide from your
colleagues, chase your dog, and eat your cat.  Kidding aside,
I think that it would be nice if wolves would be reintroduced
in places in the east, though I'd rather see them do it them-
selves (say via Ontario where we have a healthy population)>
However, I'm not sure that there's enough wilderness in
places such as the Adarondacks, Catskills, and southern
Appalachians.

If you very precisely cut the body, you can get more than just the outer 
contours... you can also get placement of nerves, bones, blood vessels, 
etc.  I think it would be _VERY_ handy to have a full 3D map of the 
interior of the human body, especially in the medical sciences.

Dr Lee Visiting Research Fellowships in the Sciences


The college proposes to elect Visiting Fellows, in the Natural
Sciences and Mathematics, for up to nine months in the period
September 1993 to August 1994.

The Fellowships are intended to enable distinguished senior
scholars to pursue their own research as members of the college
community, and they will be expected to reside in Oxford during
the period of tenure.    Fellows must make their own research
arrangements with Oxford laboratories.

Each Fellow will be entitled to free family accommodation, a
study-room in college and free dinners.   Return fares from the
place of residence will be paid for each Fellow and his/her
family.   Limited stipends may also be offered, depending on
individual circumstances.

Further details may be obtained from The Dean's Secretary, Christ
Church, Oxford OX1 1DP, and applications should be received not
later than
12 December 1992.

                     EAST LANSING, MICHIGAN

   A Conference on the Functional Significance and Regulation of Soil
Biodiversity will be held in conjunction with the fourth biennial
meeting of the Soil Ecology Society May 3-8, 1993, at Michigan State
University in East Lansing, MI.  The chief objective of the meeting is

ecological importance of soil biological diversity at all taxonomic
levels.  Major issues to be addressed will include the functional extent
of soil biodiversity, its regulation and maintenance, and its
significance to ecosystem function.

   The conference will be held at the Kellogg Conference Center on the
campus of Michigan State University; organizers are C.S. Bledsoe, H.P.
Collins, E.R. Ingham, M.J. Klug, and G.P. Robertson.  Format will be a
mixture of invited talks, contributed posters, and discussion groups.

Dear Sir.:                                       Fl 11/09/92
(List Moderator)

    I would like to know the  intend of this  list  and if I
could obtain some replies.

    I am a researcher tacking part of Biomedical Engineering
Group Laboratory of Electrical Engineering Department at the
Federal University of  Santa  Catarina. We  develop   little
biomedical equipments  and  Expest Systems - such a Hospital
Infection Control Aid and a  Hybrid  System  (rule-based and
neural  network  based)  for  Proposal  and   Evaluation  of
Anesthesian Plan.

    I am a master degree student, now, grapple in develop  a
Expert Network  (also  called,  hybrid  system:  those  whom
combine  neural  networks   with   rule-based  methods)  for
Planning and Evaluation of  Plans of  Anesthesia, continuing
a  PHD  thesis,  for  Critical  Patients  (their  who   need
critical  cares) or Problem   Patients (exceptional cases of
patientes whom evaluate to critical patients).  I  have some
troubles choosing the  most  suitable  approach  to  develop
this system. I do not know if neural  networks could  be the
key to solve the main part of the problem,  because  we  are
dealing with  exceptions  that  probably could  best  solved
throught a rule-based method.  At  lately, there are  a  few
shells systems   applying  object-orienthed  technics   with
rule-based    or  frames  methods  such  the  new   Kappa PC
Application Development Systems   for   Windows environment,
from   IntellCorp.   Inc..     So,  I   am   interested   in
implementations   of  hybrid systems   using object-oriented
programming. Maybe, there will   be a  way to  link   neural
networks simulators   using   object-oriented   approach  to
another heuristical   languages such as Turbo-Prolog object-
oriented.

    I would be glad if someone  could make  a comment  about
it, as well as indicate if there exists a _similar research_.

    Please, reply directly to me  as I am not   subcribed to
this list.

    Thanks a lot respect to this matter,

a tumor in one limb, and you amputate the limb through the tumor, as
the limb regenerates, the tumor is reworked into normal tissue. Is

I am very confused about exactly what occurs during breath holding and 
during facial submersion in water in terms of increases and or decreases in 
heart rate.
The experiment our physiology students perform involves monitoring heart 
rates while they a)hold their breath b)breathe into a bag for @1min c)
immerse their faces in cold and then warm water. An EKG was used to measure 
heart rate.
Can anyone tell me what should happen and why (in specific phyiological 
terms)?
If you can, please e mail me, I would greatly appreciate it.

I believe the intent here is to model, in 3D, the *complete* body. 
That includes the bone structure, muscle strucure, vein & artery
structure, etc...  This wouldn't be very easy to do with a mold.

At least that's what I believe the original post was referring to.  I
would think that some of the current resonance (sp?) technology would
be able to provide this type of modeling.

I think it would be pretty neat to, say, call up a hand, display it in
3d and then strip away the layers to see what it's made of.

Just my $0.02!

Actually, wolves ARE being reintroduced into the Southern Appalachians, but 
they're Red Wolves (_Canis rufus_), not the greys.  After "successful" (the 
motrality seemed pretty high to me) reintroductions into eastern NC, the 
Great Smokey Mountain National Park is the next home.

Here are some bits and pieces.  I'd be very interested in a more
authoritative list, since I just been put in charge of our "computers
in biology" instruction committee.

-There's a mac program called HyperCell for cell physiology that's
impressed some of our cell people.  I don't know much about it
really.  I've heard the graphics are good.

-There's a nice shareware ecology program called Populus for population
ecology written primarily by Don Alstad at Minnesota.  You can find
his e-mail address by fingering alstad@umn.edu.  

-Some folks seem to like a program called Stella (for Macs) that can
be used to model dynamic systems with boxes, flows and controls of
various kinds.

-We've also used MathCad (leslie matrices, chaos in the discrete
logistic) and Mathematica (numerical differential equation solving
e.g. the lotka-volterra systems) for ecology labs here.
