The Chapman-Richards Distribution and its Relationship to the Generalized Beta
Forest Ecosystems, 2019 Background The Chapman-Richards distribution is developed as a special case of the equilibrium solution to the McKendrick-Von Foerster equation. The Chapman-Richards distribution incorporates the vital rate assumptions of the Chapman-Richards growth ...

Take my breath away: Defining the oxygen saturation threshold for fish cortisol stress response. [PDF]
J Fish BiolAbstract Human activities are affecting the number, size and severity of hypoxic zones in aquatic ecosystems. As oxygen is one of the most important abiotic factors affecting fish biology, exposure to low levels of dissolved oxygen may lead to a reduction in fitness.

Effect of foot immersion and neck cooling on renal, intestinal, immune and inflammatory markers in older adults exposed to extreme heat. [PDF]
Exp PhysiolAbstract Older adults with reduced thermoregulatory capabilities are increasingly at risk of heat‐related pathophysiological outcomes (e.g., acute kidney injury, heatstroke) due to increasingly frequent, prolonged and intense heatwaves. Foot immersion and neck cooling have been proposed as practical, non‐electrical cooling strategies for protecting ...

A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Biological Sex Differences in Sleep Spindles and Slow Wave Activity in Adults With and Without Insomnia. [PDF]
J Sleep ResABSTRACT Mounting evidence shows sex‐based differences in sleep experiences and outcomes, including the prevalence of insomnia disorder. However, the impact of biological sex on brain oscillations during sleep remains poorly understood, especially in the context of insomnia disorder. This is a notable gap, given that neurophysiological aspects of sleep

Nonlinear split-plot design modeling and analysis of rice varieties yield
Scientific African, 2023 In this research, a class of nonlinear split plot design models where the mean function of the split-plot model is not linearizable is presented. This was done by fitting intrinsically nonlinear split-plot design (INSPD) models using the Chapman-Richards

Verification of three-parameter models of dependence of height on the diameter at breast height for birch stands of the European part of Russia [PDF]
Сибирский лесной журнал, 2020 Of great importance when conducting forestry operations and scientific research is the accuracy of determining the height of trees. The height of trees in a particular area is usually calculated using models, where it is a function of diameter at breast ...
