How do plant ecologists use matrix population models?
Matrix projection models are among the most widely used tools in plant ecology. However, the way in which plant ecologists use and interpret these models differs from the way in which they are presented in the broader academic literature. In contrast to calls from earlier reviews, most studies of plant populations are based on < 5 matrices and present simple metrics such as deterministic popula...

متن کاملHow do we use computational models of cognitive processes?
Previously I outlined a scheme for understanding the usefulness of computational models .1 This scheme was accompanied by two specific proposals. Firstly, that although models have diverse purposes, the purposes of individual modelling efforts should be made explicit. Secondly, that the best use of modelling is in establishing the correspondence between model elements and empirical objects in t...
متن کاملHow do Older Adults Spend their Leisure Time? A Population-Based Study in Yazd, Iran

Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate how older adults spend their leisure time. Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted with 270 elderly participants (> 60 years) in Yazd city...
متن کاملHow Do Sugars Regulate Plant Growth?
Autotrophic organisms synthesize sugars, principally sucrose in the reactions of photosynthesis. This ancient primary process drives the growth and development of all organisms as a source of energy and carbon source. But can sugars actually regulate growth processes themselves beyond just supplying them with the carbon and energy they need? Well, the answer to this question and articulated in ...
