A collective name for a group of closely related lipids that contain substitutions on the 2H-1-benzopyran-6-ol nucleus and a long hydrocarbon chain of isoprenoid units. They are antioxidants by virtue of the phenolic hydrogen. Tocopherols react with the most reactive form of oxygen and protect unsaturated fatty acids from oxidation

Here are entered works on the theory that the initial effect of modernization in human societies is a growing margin of births over deaths and an accelerating rate of population growth, and that at a later stage of socioeconomic development the size of the family is reduced by birth control and the birth rate falls, eventually reducing the rate of population growth
