Scanning force microscopy in the applied biological sciences.

Fifteen years after its invention, the scanning force microscope (SFM) is rooted deep in the biological sciences. Here we discuss the use of SFM in biotechnology and biomedical research. The spectrum of applications reviewed includes imaging, force spectroscopy and mapping, as well as sensor applications. It is our hope that this review will be useful for researchers considering the use of SFM in their studies but are uncertain about its scope of capabilities. For the benefit of readers unfamiliar with SFM technology, the fundamentals of SFM imaging and force measurement are also briefly introduced.

[Medical and Human Biological Sciences department of the University of Corsica as a tool for public health development].

To overcome the difficulties of access to training in health and the absence of biomedical research, the territorial community of Corsica recommended the implementation of a Department of Medical Sciences and Human Biology within the University of Corsica. It is within the framework of this department that different training courses targeting the full range of actors in the health system were organised, the large majority in agreement with medical faculty from the continent. It is also within this framework that a set of research themes was developed, permitting at full term, a better health management of the population. After four years in existence, we propose an assessment of training actions, and the results of the research work that associated hospital practitioners and university research professors and which allows one to imagine, notably, the development of a research axis in geography and health on the theme, "Genetics-Public Health-Environment in the Islands of the Mediterranean".

[On the educational benefits of biological sciences in space].

Experimental results in Space Sciences are getting accumulated. It may be advisable for the educational activities of our society that we inform young people, not only of each experimental result, but also of a variety of novel views of life and the world introduced by the researches in Biological Sciences in Space. We are going to provide a data-base including elementary words and concepts in these fields.

Catastrophe modelling in the biological sciences.

Catastrophe Theory was developed in an attempt to provide a form of Mathematics particularly apt for applications in the biological sciences. It was claimed that while it could be applied in the more conventional "physical" way, it could also be applied in a new "metaphysical" way, derived from the Structuralism of Saussure in Linguistics and Lévi-Strauss in Anthropology. Since those early beginnings there have been many attempts to apply Catastrophe Theory to Biology, but these hopes cannot be said to have been fully realised. This paper will document and classify the work that has been done. It will be argued that, like other applied Mathematics, applied Catastrophe Theory works best where the underlying laws are securely known and precisely quantified, requiring those same guarantees as does any other branch of Mathematics when it confronts a real-life situation.

Chemistry - the lingua franca of the medical and biological sciences.

Despite a large cultural difference between chemists and biologists, chemistry is becoming the common language for all the biological sciences. Now the challenge is to teach the language of scientific achievement to the public and to our representatives in Washington.

A proposal on a contribution of space biological sciences to sexual health in the human space life.

Sexuality is a basic property of the human being and provides an important background for the human life and society. The present situation in the world strongly suggests that the human being will extensively and intensively spread out in space and the population in space, particularly on the space stations in orbit, moon and possibly Mars, will rapidly increase during this century. Therefore sexual health will become a serious issue for the development of space and a better life of the human in the space environment. It is not too early to consider sexuality in the space life and to discuss how to maintain sexual health, how to control it in the space society, or whether it should be controlled. Space biological sciences should be the key and play an important role in studying scientifically sexuality especially the sex, sexual behavior and reproduction in the space environment.
