In the great anorexia debate, models are talked about but rarely heard.
In addition to policy debate, there is another format in which a large number of students take part: Lincoln-Douglas Debate, modeled after the great debates on slavery.
Alternatively, students might research the broader topic of the ethics of animal research and prepare for a debate modeled after the one above.
The new military strategy, which emerged from several years of debate modeled on the 1950s effort in Washington to come up with a plan for deterring nuclear attacks, makes explicit that a cyberattack could be considered equivalent to a more traditional act of war.
Despite the desire to meaningfully engage communities in health care planning, and the adoption of community participation as central in the health agendas of many countries [ 4, 6, 7, 11- 13, 24], researchers continue to debate models, approaches, motivations, definitions and operational challenges [ 22, 25, 26].
An earlier study of COPD deaths in Australia between 1993 and 2003, and one which generated a considerable amount of debate, modeled the data using linear regression with autocorrelated errors, but failed to capture the sudden change in COPD mortality rates around 1997 [ 26].
While it is generally scientifically appropriate to engage in debate regarding model approach/philosophy, model structure, and model complexity, the role these large regional datasets play should not be downgraded or ignored.
Although this hypothesis adds a new perspective to the currently debated models of metastasis, the study by the group of Klein and colleagues [ 24] did not address the viability and proliferative potential of the disseminated cells that were demonstrated in another study [ 22].
Although the transposability to tumours of results obtained from cell lines universally remains a matter of debate this model represents a starting point in an area, which was previously unexplored.
Healthspan is an important but poorly defined concept, and there is an ongoing debate whether model organisms, such as Drosophila, can help to characterize parameters that could detect differences in healthspan [ 19].
