Aging Gracefully: A New Model of Microtubule Growth and Catastrophe [PDF]
Although dynamic instability has beenstudied for 30 years, the structural de-tails and molecular mechanisms thatunderliemicrotubulegrowthandcatas-trophe are still hotly debated (1). Mi-crotubules play defining roles in cellshape and stiffness, they are targetsof anticancer drugs, and they cangenerate mechanical forces in boththeir growing and shrinking ...

Anthropometric measures are commonly converted to age stratified z-scores to examine variation in growth outcomes in mixed-age and sex samples. For many study populations, z-scores will differ if calculated from World Health Organization (WHO) growth ...

Comparison of Some Nonlinear Functions for Describing Broiler Growth Curves of Cobb500 Strain [PDF]
This study was conducted to compare some nonlinear functions to describe the broiler growth curve of the Cobb500 strain. A flock of fifty one-day-old chicks were randomly selected from a henhouse of 2500 chicks.

ICT and Productivity Resurgence: A Growth Model for the Information Age [PDF]
Since the mid-1990s, extraordinary advances in semiconductors have enhanced the embodied nature of information technology, fuelling efficiency growth in computers and communication equipment industries. The consequent fall in prices has enabled the rapid diffusion of these new technologies, which have reached the critical threshold to foster ...

Evolution of size-dependent flowering in Onopordum illyricum: A quantitative assessment of the role of stochastic selection pressures [PDF]
We explore the evolution of delayed, size-dependent reproduction in the monocarpic perennial Onopordum illyricum, using a range of mathematical models, parameterized with long-term field data.

Individual tree basal area growth models for Chir pine (Pinus roxberghii Sarg.) in western Nepal
The individual tree growth models are important decision-making tools in forestry. Age dependent and age independent individual tree basal area growth models were developed for Chir pine (Pinus roxberghii Sarg.) in one of the western districts, Rukum ...
