Applications of Chapman-Richards model to geotechnical engineering

open access: yesJournal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, 2019
In this paper, the Chapman-Richards model is adapted to best fit three types of nonlinear curves that are generally encountered in geotechnical engineering practices, i.e.

The Chapman-Richards Distribution and its Relationship to the Generalized Beta

open access: yesForest 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]

open access: yesJ Fish Biol
Abstract 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]

open access: yesExp Physiol
Abstract 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 ...

Nonlinear split-plot design modeling and analysis of rice varieties yield

open access: yesScientific 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

Generalized nonlinear height–diameter models for a Cryptomeria fortunei plantation in the Pingba region of Guizhou Province, China [PDF]

open access: yesWeb Ecology, 2018
The relationship between height and diameter (H-D) is an important component in forest growth and yield models, and a better understanding of the relationship will improve forest monitoring, management, and biomass estimation. Sixteen nonlinear growth

The Application of the Random Time Transformation Method to Estimate Richards Model for Tree Growth Prediction

open access: yesMathematics, 2023
To model dynamic systems in various situations results in an ordinary differential equation of the form dydt=g(y,t,θ), where g denotes a function and θ stands for a parameter or vector of unknown parameters that require estimation from observations.
