Cody, Martin L. – Science, 1974
Discusses the optimality of natural selection, ways of testing for optimum solutions to problems of time - or energy-allocation in nature, optimum patterns in spatial distribution and diet breadth, and how best to travel over a feeding area so that food intake is maximized. (JR)
Descriptors: Biological Sciences, Biology, College Science, Ecology

Kolata, Gina Bari – Science, 1974
Examines new directions in ecological research in which ecologists are analyzing systems with theoretical models and are using descriptive studies to confirm and extend their studies. The development of a model relating to species equilibriums on islands is now being applied to problems of conservation of wildlife in national parks. (JR)
Descriptors: Biological Sciences, College Science, Ecology, Models

Vaucouleurs, G. de – Science, 1970
The development of modern theoretical cosmology is presented and some questionable assumptions of orthodox cosmology are pointed out. Suggests that recent observations indicate that hierarchical clustering is a basic factor in cosmology. The implications of hierarchical models of the universe are considered. Bibliography. (LC)

Kupperman, Robert H.; And Others – Science, 1975
Emphasizes the data management and communications problems that are present in crisis situations. Proposes the establishment of international model-oriented computer-assisted conferences to improve communications and understanding. (GS)
Descriptors: Communications, Computers, Crisis Management, Data Analysis

Sejnowski, Terrence J.; And Others – Science, 1988
Describes the use of brain models to connect the microscopic level accessible by molecular and cellular techniques with the systems level accessible by the study of behavior. Discusses classes of brain models, and specific examples of such models. Evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of using brain modelling to understand human brain function.…

Lovell, William S. – Science, 1972
Scientific, legal, and legislative roles in the interaction of science and society are examined in the context of the use of technical measures related to intoxication. The case is examined in detail as a model of the way in which the relationship is regulated. (AL)

Frank, Henry S. – Science, 1970
Descriptors: Atomic Structure, Chemical Bonding, Chemistry, College Science

Hueckel, Glenn – Science, 1975
Presents the contention that in light of a historical perspective to technology and growth an optimistic view of the possibility for continuous technological development is not foolish. (GS)

Brodie, Donald C.; Heaney, Robert P. – Science, 1978
At least 50 vocational or professional groups now provide a health service. Many have established accrediting procedures for maintaining educational standards. A model is presented that would lessen the burden of accrediting on educational institutions and simultaneously permit testing of the feasibility of a multiprofessional accrediting…

Kellogg, W. W.; And Others – Science, 1972
A model estimating the contributions of sulfur compounds by natural and human activities, and the rate of removal of sulfur from the atmosphere, is based on a review of the existing literature. Areas requiring additional research are identified. (AL)

Holden, Constance – Science, 1985
The National Academy of Sciences suggests models for biomedical research which include a biology-wide information system with computerized database accessible from a multitude of dimensions. Links could help discover whether toxic chemicals have effects similar to hormones. Commonalities from molecules to ecosystems might restructure available…

Foa, Uriel G. – Science, 1971
Describes a classification system based on interpersonal and economic resources which provides insight into the social problems of modern culture. Concreteness versus symbolism and particularism versus universalism are the coordinate pairs into which six categories of resources--love, services, goals, money, information, and status--are plotted.…

Goddard, William A., III – Science, 1985
The expected thrust for theoretical chemistry in the next decade will be to combine knowledge of fundamental chemical steps/interactions with advances in chemical dynamics, irreversible statistical mechanics, and computer technology to produce simulations of chemical systems with reaction site competition. A sample simulation (using the enzyme…

Tversky, Amos; Kahneman, Daniel – Science, 1981
Presents evidence that the psychological principles that govern the perception of decision problems and evaluation of probabilities and outcomes produce predictable shifts of preference when the same problem is framed in different ways. (Author/SK)
