Infection Models for Pine Wilt Disease on the Basis of Vector Behaviors

open access: yesPopulation Ecology, EarlyView.
Infection models for pine wilt disease without vector density were built to estimate the transmission coefficient of the pathogenic nematode. The models successfully simulated the annual change in the density of infected trees for four pine stands. ABSTRACT Pine wilt disease is caused by the pinewood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus Steiner et ...

One helpful property of functions generating P\'olya frequency sequences

open access: yes, 2015
In this work we study the solutions of the equation $z^pR(z^k)=\alpha$ with nonzero complex $\alpha$, integer $p,k$ and $R(z)$ generating a (possibly doubly infinite) totally positive sequence. It is shown that the zeros of $z^pR(z^k)-\alpha$ are simple (

Liver function from Y to Z [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Investigation, 2012
In the 1960s, my lab was interested in understanding how bilirubin and other organic anions are transferred from the plasma through the liver cell and into the bile. We performed gel filtration of liver supernatants and identified two protein fractions, designated Y and Z, which bound organic anions including bilirubin, and thus we proposed that they ...

An Adaptive Management Model for Brown Bears in Hokkaido: Based on Total Population and the Number of Nuisance Bears

open access: yesPopulation Ecology, EarlyView.
Bear management changes management actions according to the horizontal axis of the population size and the vertical axis of the number of nuisance bears. Aiming for the target population size of Ntar, Actions I and II protect the bears, and Action IV reduces the population.

The use of singular functions for the approximate conformal mapping of doubly-connected domains [PDF]

open access: yes, 1982
Let f be the function which maps conformally a given doubly- connected domain onto a circular annulus. We consider the use of two closely related methods for determining approximations to f of the form fn (z) = z exp, ⎪⎩⎪⎨⎧⎭⎬⎫Σ−(z)uan1jjj where {uj} is

Approximations of the generalized-Euler-constant function and the generalized Somos’ quadratic recurrence constant

open access: yesJournal of Inequalities and Applications, 2019
In this paper, we provide an estimate for approximating the generalized-Euler-constant function γ(z)=∑k=1∞zk−1(1k−lnk+1k) $\gamma (z)=\sum_{k=1}^{\infty }z ^{k-1} (\frac{1}{k}-\ln \frac{k+1}{k} )$ by its partial sum γN−1(z) $\gamma _{N-1}(z)$ when ...

On the stationary points of Hardy's function Z(t) [PDF]

open access: yesActa Arithmetica, 2004
Hardy's function \(Z(t)\), sometimes referred to as the signed modulus, is defined by \[ Z(t) = \left(\pi^ {-it}{\Gamma({1\over 4}+{1\over 2}it)\over\Gamma({1\over 4}-{1\over 2}it)}\right)^ {{1\over 2}}\zeta({1\over 2}+it). \] Let \[ {\mathcal Z}(s) = \left(\pi^ {{1\over 2}-s}{\Gamma({s\over 2})\over\Gamma({1-s\over 2})}\right)^ {{1\over 2}}\zeta(s), \]

Speciation Through the Lens of Population Dynamics: A Theoretical Primer on How Small and Large Populations Diverge

open access: yesPopulation Ecology, EarlyView.
Population size and dynamics fundamentally shape speciation by influencing genetic drift, founder events, and adaptive potential. Small populations may speciate rapidly due to stronger drift, whereas large populations harbor more genetic diversity, which can alter divergence trajectories. We highlight theoretical models that incorporate population size

On Partial-Function Application in Z [PDF]

open access: yesElectronic Workshops in Computing, 1998
We discuss the application of partial functions to elements outside their domain in the context of the Z language and CADiZ tool. We illustrate some surprising results that can arise, and show that they may be readily justified, but also show that undesirable results can arise that are less readily resolved.
