Record high life expectancy.

View original source ↗Export metadata ↓

Abstract

Expectation of life at birth in the United States rose to a record high of 75.7 years in 1992. Life expectancy for newborn boys and girls also established new peaks, namely 72.2 years and 79.1 years, respectively. Just as noteworthy has been the recent marked reduction in the racial longevity gap. The narrowing in the expectation of life differential between whites and nonwhites resulted from the larger gains among people of color. Also encouraging is the continued decline in infant mortality--it fell to its lowest level ever (8.5 per 1,000 births). However, the outlook for AIDS mortality is disconcerting. Because of the mounting toll of these deaths, there will be a negative impact on expectation of life sometime in the near future.

Mathematical and computational challenges in population biology and ecosystems science.

Mathematical and computational approaches provide powerful tools in the study of problems in population biology and ecosystems science. The subject has a rich history intertwined with the development of statistics and dynamical systems theory, but recent analytical advances, coupled with the enhanced potential of high-speed computation, have opened up new vistas and presented new challenges. Key challenges involve ways to deal with the collective dynamics of heterogeneous ensembles of individuals, and to scale from small spatial regions to large ones. The central issues-understanding how detail at one scale makes its signature felt at other scales, and how to relate phenomena across scales-cut across scientific disciplines and go to the heart of algorithmic development of approaches to high-speed computation. Examples are given from ecology, genetics, epidemiology, and immunology.
