Non-Linear Mixed Models for the Characterization of Growth Trajectory Measured by Ultrasound of 'San Pedreño' Creole Pig Breed From Colombia. [PDF]
Using real‐time ultrasound images taken in vivo, the thickness of back fat and the longissimus dorsi muscle width can be estimated in ‘San Pedreño’ Creole pigs. ABSTRACT The aim was to identify non‐linear regression models, under the context of mixed models, to describe the growth trajectory of ‘San Pedreño’ Creole pigs based on two muscular ...

Applications and Sexual Version of a Simple Model for Biological Ageing
We use a simple model for biological ageing to study the mortality of the population, obtaining a good agreement with the Gompertz law. We also simulate the same model on a square lattice, considering different strategies of parental care.

Assessing pest control treatments from phenology models and field data
Theoretical effect of two larvicide sprays, two delayed larvicide sprays that follow an oil treatment, mating disruption, and mating disruption plus four virus sprays on codling moth larva (brown for treated versus pink for untreated) and adult (dark green for treated versus light green for untreated) phenology.

Generalized Gompertz-power series distributions
In this paper, we introduce the generalized Gompertz-power series class of distributions which is obtained by compounding generalized Gompertz and power series distributions.

ABSTRACT Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a progressive metabolic disorder that could be an underlying cause of long‐term complications that increase mortality. The assessment of the probability of such events could be essential for mortality risk management. This work aimed to establish a framework for risk predictions of macrovascular complications (MVC) and

Analysis of logistic growth models [PDF]
A variety of growth curves have been developed to model both unpredated, intraspecific population dynamics and more general biological growth. Most successful predictive models are shown to be based on extended forms of the classical Verhulst logistic ...

Targeted conservation measures are contingent on robust knowledge of spatio‐temporal animal distribution in areas of interest. We explore unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) transect monitoring as a novel method for standardized digital aerial surveys of marine megafauna by investigating the fine‐resolution spatio‐temporal distribution of harbour porpoises ...

Gamma-Gompertz life expectancy at birth
BACKGROUND The gamma-Gompertz multiplicative frailty model is the most common parametric modelapplied to human mortality data at adult and old ages. The resulting life expectancy hasbeen calculated so far only numerically.

Linking period and cohort life-expectancy linear increases in Gompertz proportional hazards models [PDF]
In a Gompertz mortality model with constant yearly improvements at all ages, linear increases in period life expectancy correspond to linear increases in the respective cohort life expectancy.
