Linking age, survival and transit time distributions
Although the concepts of age, survival and transit time have been widely used in many fields, including population dynamics, chemical engineering, and hydrology, a comprehensive mathematical framework is still missing. Here we discuss several relationships among these quantities by starting from the evolution equation for the joint distribution of age and survival, from which the equations for ...
متن کاملOn transit-time distributions in unsteady circulation models
In a diffusive geophysical flow, there is not a single timescale or unique pathway for passive scalar transport from the reservoir’s surface into the interior because of irreversible diffusive mixing processes. Instead, there is a range of pathways and hence a transit-time distribution (TTD) since last surface contact. We explore the issues that arise when considering TTDs for unsteady flows an...
متن کاملAge effect on cell-transit time in mouse jejunal epithelium.
FRY, R. J, M., S. LESHER, AND H. I. KOHN. Age effect on cell-transit time in mouse jejunal e$Ywlium. Am. J. Physiol. 20 I (I ) : 213-216. I g6r .Epithelial cell renewal in the jejunum of CAFr mice was studied by observing the time for cells labeled with tritiated thymidine (1.5-2.0 PC/g body wt.) to pass from the crypt to the extrusion zone at the tip of the villus. Mice of three ages were stud...
متن کاملAnalysis of soil carbon transit times and age distributions using network theories
[1] The long-term soil carbon dynamics may be approximated by networks of linear compartments, permitting theoretical analysis of transit time (i.e., the total time spent by a molecule in the system) and age (the time elapsed since the molecule entered the system) distributions. We compute and compare these distributions for different network configurations, ranging from the simple individual c...
متن کاملEstimation of age-dependent survival rates of female tsetse flies (Diptera : Glossinidae) from ovarian age distributions
Existing attempts to estimate the survival rate of tsetse flies frompjvaxian age distributions generally assume that the population is stationary. The fact that the survival rate cannot be dissociated from the growth rate by these methods poses a problem. Under the assumption of a stable age distribution, we propose a maximum likelihood method to estimate the 'apparent survival rate' for three ...
