Joint effects of nutrients and contaminants on the dynamics of a food chain in marine ecosystems [PDF]
We analyze the joint effect of contaminants and nutrient loading on population dynamics of marine food chains by means of bifurcation analysis. Contaminant toxicity is assumed to alter mortality of some species with a sigmoidal dose-response relationship.

Stochastic modeling using Adomian method and fractionnal differential equations [PDF]
In this paper, we propose a fractional differential equation of order one-half, to model the evolution through time of the dynamics of accumulation and elimination of the contaminant in human organism with a deficient immune system, during consecutive intakes of contaminated food.
