Growth rates of modern science: a latent piecewise growth curve approach to model publication numbers from established and new literature databases [PDF]
Humanities and Social Sciences Communications, 2020 Growth of science is a prevalent issue in science of science studies. In recent years, two new bibliographic databases have been introduced, which can be used to study growth processes in science from centuries back: Dimensions from Digital Science and ...

A new framework for growth curve fitting based on the von Bertalanffy Growth Function
Scientific Reports, 2020 All organisms grow. Numerous growth functions have been applied to a wide taxonomic range of organisms, yet some of these models have poor fits to empirical data and lack of flexibility in capturing variation in growth rate.

Development of an index that decreases birth weight, promotes postnatal growth and yet minimizes selection intensity in beef cattle [PDF]
Animal BioscienceObjective The main goal of our current study was to improve the growth curve of meat animals by decreasing the birth weight while achieving a finishing weight that is the same as that before selection but at younger age.

The Determination of Growth Curve Models in Malya Sheep from Weaning to Two Years of Age
Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2013 This research was carried out to determine the growth curve models for Malya ewes. Twenty sheep were fed ad-libitum with roughages from weaning to approximately 48 month of age.

Predicting microbial growth in a mixed culture from growth curve data
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019 Significance We present a model-based approach for prediction of microbial growth in a mixed culture and relative fitness using data solely from growth curve experiments, which are easier to perform than competition experiments.
