Fractal Population Ecology Theory
Abstract Purpose - The aim of this paper is to describe the population ecology theory through fractal thinking, an emergent human operating system that is creative, adaptive, healthy, and evolutionary; furthermore, a parallel is drawn between the population ecology model and the fractal structure. Top-down hierarchies are typically characterized by command and control systems of the authority t...
متن کاملAn Overview of Forest Ecology and Management in Virginia
The variation of forest types across Virginia reflects the diverse physiography of the state. From the sandy, low-elevation soils of the Coastal Plain to the dry, rocky soils on the southwestern slopes of the Appalachian Mountains, Virginia has one of the most diverse landscapes in the East (Fleming et al. 2006). Most forests in this area have been heavily influenced by anthropogenic disturbanc...
متن کاملLocomotory energetics and metabolic fuel reserves of the Virginia opossum.
Marsupials have lower resting metabolic rates than placental mammals, but it is not clear whether particular species can extend this energetic advantage to locomotion. Some active marsupials have a low cost of locomotion, but other more sedentary species, such as the Virginia opossum, appear to run very inefficiently. Steady-state rates of O2 consumption (VO2) and CO2 production (VCO2) were mea...
متن کاملEnergy metabolism of the Virginia opossum during fasting and exercise.
Rates of oxygen consumption and CO(2) production were measured in Virginia opossums (Didelphis virginiana) during fasting and prolonged exercise to quantify changes in total energy expenditure and oxidative fuel selection. We hypothesized that fasting would cause metabolic depression and a progressive shift towards lipid utilization to spare alternative substrates. It was also predicted that pr...
متن کاملdevelopment and implementation of an optimized control strategy for induction machine in an electric vehicle
in the area of automotive engineering there is a tendency to more electrification of power train. in this work control of an induction machine for the application of electric vehicle is investigated. through the changing operating point of the machine, adapting the rotor magnetization current seems to be useful to increase the machines efficiency. in the literature there are many approaches wh...
