A discrete , size - structured model of phytoplankton growth
A discrete, size-structured model of phytoplankton growth in the chemostat. A discrete, size-structured model of phytoplankton growth in the chemostat. Abstract: We introduce inhomogeneous, substrate dependent cell division in a nonlinear matrix model of size-structured population growth in the chemostat, rst introduced by Gage et al. 7] and later analyzed by Smith 11]. We show that mass conser...
متن کاملinvestigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
Optimal phytoplankton cell size in an allometric model
The competitive ability of phytoplankton cells is simulated in a model chemostat in which cell size is considered to be an adaptive trait. Parameters describing nutrient uptake kinetics are constrained by empirically derived allometric rules. With a steady input of a single nutrient, the evolutionarily stable cell size is selected through competition among phytoplankton. We find that large cell...

متن کاملA Metapopulation Model with Discrete Size Structure
We consider a discrete size-structured metapopulation model with the proportions of patches occupied by n individuals as dependent variables. Adults are territorial and stay on a certain patch. The juveniles may emigrate to enter a dispersers’ pool from which they can settle on another patch and become adults. Absence of colonization and absence of emigration lead to extinction of the metapopul...
