Tumor Progression02:07

Tumor Progression

7.4K
Tumor progression is a phenomenon where the pre-formed tumor acquires successive mutations to become clinically more aggressive and malignant. In the 1950s, Foulds first described the stepwise progression of cancer cells through successive stages.
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...

mTOR Signaling and Cancer Progression

4.8K
The mammalian target of rapamycin or mTOR protein was discovered in 1994 due to its direct interaction with rapamycin. The protein gets its name from a yeast homolog called TOR. The mTOR protein complex in mammalian cells plays a major role in balancing anabolic processes such as the synthesis of proteins, lipids, and nucleotides and catabolic processes, such as autophagy in response to environmental cues, such as availability of nutrients and growth factors.
The mTOR pathway or the...

Measuring Reaction Rates

29.3K
Polarimetry finds application in chemical kinetics to measure the concentration and reaction kinetics of optically active substances during a chemical reaction. Optically active substances have the capability of rotating the plane of polarization of linearly polarized light passing through them—a feature called optical rotation. Optical activity is attributed to the molecular structure of substances. Normal monochromatic light is unpolarized and possesses oscillations of the electrical...

Measures of Central Tendency02:16

Measures of Central Tendency

21.1K
The "center" of a data set is also a way of describing location. The two most widely used measures of the "center" of the data are the mean (average) and the median. The words "mean" and "average" are often used interchangeably. The substitution of one word for the other is common practice. The technical term is "arithmetic mean" and "average" is technically a center location. However, in practice among non-statisticians,...

Measurement: Standard Units03:38

Measurement: Standard Units

79.9K
Every measurement provides three kinds of information: the size or magnitude of the measurement (a number), a standard of comparison for the measurement (a unit), and an indication of the uncertainty of the measurement. While the number and unit are explicitly represented when a quantity is written, the uncertainty is an aspect of the errors in the measurement results.

Uncertainty in Measurement: Significant Figures03:34

Uncertainty in Measurement: Significant Figures

81.9K
All the digits in a measurement, including the uncertain last digit, are called significant figures or significant digits. Note that zero may be a measured value; for example, if a scale that shows weight to the nearest pound reads “140,” then the 1 (hundreds), 4 (tens), and 0 (ones) are all significant (measured) values.

Area of Science:

  • Ecological restoration
  • Conservation science
  • Ecosystem management

Background:

  • Rewilding is a key strategy for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem self-regulation.
  • Effective monitoring and reporting are crucial for successful rewilding implementation.
  • Current methods may not fully capture the ecological progress of rewilding initiatives.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel framework for measuring and monitoring rewilding progress.
  • To focus on the ecological attributes of rewilding, including process recovery and natural dynamics.
  • To improve the practical application and outcomes of rewilding projects.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a bi-dimensional framework assessing reduced human forcing and increased ecological integrity.
  • Incorporated metrics for material inputs/outputs, natural stochasticity, disturbance regimes, connectivity, and trophic complexity.
  • Reviewed evidence for common restoration actions to identify effective activities for enhancing ecological integrity.

Main Results:

  • The framework provides a structured approach to evaluate rewilding based on ecological attributes.
  • Demonstrated the framework's application on three diverse rewilding projects in the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Argentina.
  • Identified potential activities to enhance ecological integrity in restoration efforts.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed framework offers a robust method for assessing rewilding effectiveness.
  • It facilitates informed decision-making and bridges the gap between rewilding science and practice.
  • This approach can broaden the scope and impact of conservation and restoration initiatives.
