In the case of climate change, these visions of the future include: energy efficiencies; power from renewable sources; economies that have replaced toxic chemicals, fossil fuels, and large-scale ecosystem destruction, with renewable, healthy inputs; and economic relationships that pay wages so people can care for themselves and their families without additional government support.
These healthy inputs have not been on offer for decades in poor neighborhoods of color, but now they are not on offer to larger numbers of white middle-class Americans.
Although in more recent times well-heeled businessmen like Bill Koch and Ted Turner have promulgated the notion that the cup is a game for the financially gifted, other sailors with working-class backgrounds, like Dennis Conner and Paul Cayard, have also proved that campaigns can be launched -- and a handsome individual salary procured -- with a healthy input of corporate backing.
Currently those lines are drawn by the state legislature, with healthy input from the California congressional delegation resulting in a set of uncompetitive races "won" by longtime incumbents who have often crassly carved up emerging communities to preserve their power.
The recorded cells had healthy input resistances and resting potentials (see Materials and Methods) and apparently normal morphology.
Home composting is important, Hampel said, because Burbank hauls about 20,000 tons of organic materials out of the city, depriving the soil and plants of "high horse-power" nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, which then get replaced by less-healthy "industrial inputs".
Since one goal of systems biology is to aid the development of therapeutic treatments, which in the context of genetic networks is to bring the network from undesirable states to healthy states by manipulating inputs, the relative ease of moving around in the state space is an important issue.
The drive to pay health providers based more on what economists call outcomes — healthier people — instead of inputs, like tests, is under way.
Such tools, experts say, are critical to transforming hospitals and clinics into "accountable care organizations," the drift of current policy in which providers are paid for health outcomes — healthier patients — instead of inputs — procedures, tests and pills.
Human imaging was performed at baseline in three healthy volunteers, and arterial input function was measured.
Identifying market as well as needs-based solutions that increase access to healthy food will require input and support from the food desert residents themselves as well as from grocers, banks, brokers, developers, planners, the health care industry, educators, government, foundations - ultimately everyone - to achieve even a modest level of success.
