Theoretical Models of Deliberative Democracy: A Critical Analysis [PDF]
Argumentum: Journal of the Seminar of Discursive Logic, Argumentation Theory and Rhetoric, 2015 : My paper focuses on presenting and analyzing some of the most important theoretical models of deliberative democracy and to emphasize their limits.

Z-plasty: a comparative study between theoretical and practical elongation [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Cirurgia Plástica, 2016 INTRODUCTION: The study of the final elongation values produced by 45º, 60º, 75º, and 90º-angle z-plasties performed on the skin of the lower abdomen of fresh cadavers were compared with the theoretical mathematical data published in the literature.

Effects of chronic browsing on life‐history traits of an irruptive large herbivore population
Population Ecology, EarlyView.This study aimed to determine the relationship between diet quality, body mass, and size (hind foot length), and female reproduction and sought to identify the mechanism by which high density under severe food limitations is maintained. Our results demonstrated that sika deer introduced to Nakanoshima Island have maintained high densities through high ...

Population Ecology, EarlyView.This study examines the demographic dynamics of two seabird populations on Tromelin Island, 15 years after the eradication of brown rats. The results indicate that these populations are in good health and are expected to continue growing until breeding sites are saturated in about a century.

Model Organisms are Not (Theoretical) Models [PDF]
The British Journal for the Philosophy of Science, 2015 AbstractMany biological investigations are organized around a small group of species, often referred to as ‘model organisms’, such as the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster.

The unpredictably eruptive dynamics of spruce budworm populations in eastern Canada
Population Ecology, EarlyView.We examine historical population data for spruce budworm from several locations through the period 1930–1997, and use density‐dependent recruitment curves to test whether the pattern of population growth over time is more consistent with Royama's (1984; Ecological Monographs 54:429–462) linear R(t) model of harmonic oscillation at Green River New ...

The theory of unemployment, too, is historically conditioned
PSL Quarterly Review, 2013 The social reality which models seek to interpret changes over time. All models are historically conditioned, but some are more so than others. In one way or another all theoretical models un unemployment take account of this, however, they do so ...

Network topology drives population temporal variability in experimental habitat networks
Population Ecology, EarlyView.Habitat patches connected by dispersal pathways form habitat networks. We explored how network topology affects population outcomes in laboratory experiments using a model species (Daphnia carinata). Central habitat nodes in complex lattice networks exhibited lower temporal variability in population sizes, suggesting they support more stable ...

Theoretical Models of Neural Development [PDF]
iScience, 2018 Constructing a functioning nervous system requires the precise orchestration of a vast array of mechanical, molecular, and neural-activity-dependent cues. Theoretical models can play a vital role in helping to frame quantitative issues, reveal mathematical commonalities between apparently diverse systems, identify what is and what is not possible in ...
