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 predictive models are shown to be based on variations of the classical Verhulst logistic growth equation. We review and compare several such models and analyse properties of interest for these.

Estimating the drivers of urban economic complexity and their connection to economic performance
Estimating the capabilities, or inputs of production, that drive and constrain the economic development of urban areas has remained a challenging goal. We posit that capabilities are instantiated in the complexity and sophistication of urban activities ...

Aim of the study: At current, forest management in the Eastern Mediterranean region is largely based on experience rather than on management plans. To support the development of such plans, this study develops and compares site index equations for pure ...

Background Copy number determination is one of the first steps in the characterization of transgenic plant lines. The classical approach to this, Southern blotting, is time-consuming, expensive and requires massive amounts of high-quality genomic DNA ...

Congo red (CR) is a stable anionic diazo dye that causes allergic reactions with carcinogenic properties. The rapid removal of CR using cation-incorporated nanohydroxyapatite (pristine HAp: X (X = Fe, Ni, Zn, Co, and Ag)) was investigated.

Productive Ecosystems and the arrow of development
As countries experience economic growth, diversification of economic activities may occur. Here, the authors develop a probabilistic model to examine the diversification of economic activities and how countries may move from small ecosystem products to ...

Interlaboratory Validation of Toxicity Testing Using the Duckweed Lemna minor Root-Regrowth Test
The common duckweed (Lemna minor), a freshwater monocot that floats on the surfaces of slow-moving streams and ponds, is commonly used in toxicity testing.

Craniofacial growth and SITAR growth curve analysis
Summary Background SITAR (SuperImposition by Translation And Rotation) is a shape invariant growth curve model that effectively summarizes somatic growth in puberty. Aim To apply the SITAR model to longitudinal mandibular growth data ...

Maize seedling emergence in response to climatic variability in a tropical rainforest area
Environmental factors causing low seedling emergence often observed in tropical maize (Zea mays L.) are poorly documented. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of weather factors on maize seedling emergence at the Obafemi Awolowo ...
