Preliminary considerations regarding the development of pediatric programs for acute and chronic pain management are discussed. Adult clinics serve as models for pediatric pain programs, although there are substantial differences in the nature of adult and pediatric pain syndromes. Recommendations are given for the design of a pediatric pain program, and experience from our program is outlined.
We present two models for phenotypic-dependent interspecific competition. In both cases the survivorship of individuals of one population depends on the entire phenotypic distribution of the other species. The first model considers a continuously varying metric trait, with assortative or random mating; the second model examines a character controlled by two alleles at a single locus. Pursuing the notion that each population maximizes its mean fitness we define a vector-optimum strategy using the concepts of cooperative and competitive optima. It is found that the dynamical constraints placed on the equations of motion by Mendelian genetics often prevent a population from evolving to a strategic optimum. However, for the single locus case with complete dominance, the competitive optimum always coincides with some dynamical equilibrium on the Hardy-Weinberg manifold.
