Parasites As Indicators Of Environmental Change And Pollution In Marine Ecosystems by Mackenzie, Ken

“…Conversely, many ectoparasites are highly resistant to environmental change and will respond to such change by increased levels of infection. As a general rule, infections with endoparasitic helminths with complex indirect life cycles tend to decrease, while infections with ectoparasites with direct single-host life cycles tend to increase, with increasing levels of pollution. …”

Effect of Geometrical Parameters on the Performance of Longitudinal Functionally Graded Femoral Prostheses by Oshkour, Azim Ataollahi

“…Hence, the combination of the femoral prosthetic geometry and functionally graded materials can be employed to decrease stress shielding. Such a combination can also be utilized to achieve equilibrium in terms of the stress applied on the implanted femur constituents; thus, the lifespan of total hip replacement can be prolonged. 2014 International Center for Artificial Organs and Transplantation and Wiley Periodicals, Inc.…”
