Population Pyramids Yield Accurate Estimates of Total Fertility Rates

Clustering of Population Pyramids

Population pyramid is a very popular presentation of the age-sex distribution of the human population of a particular region. The shape of the pyramid shows many demographic, social, and political characteristics of the time and the region. In the paper results of hierarchical clustering of the world countries based on population pyramids are presented. Special attention is given to the shapes ...

Sunflower summer-planting yield as affected by plant population and nitrogen application rates

effect of seed priming and irrigation regimes on yield,yield components and quality of safflowers cultivars

این مطالعه در سال 1386-87 در آزمایشگاه و مزرعه پژوهشی دانشگاه صنعتی اصفهان به منظور تعیین مناسب ترین تیمار بذری و ارزیابی اثر پرایمینگ بر روی سه رقم گلرنگ تحت سه رژیم آبیاری انجام گرفت. برخی از مطالعات اثرات سودمند پرایمینگ بذر را بر روی گیاهان مختلف بررسی کرده اند اما در حال حاضر اطلاعات کمی در مورد خصوصیات مربوط به جوانه زنی، مراحل نموی، عملکرد و خصوصیات کمی و کیفی بذور تیمار شده ژنوتیپ های م...

Accurate Estimates without Calibration?

Most process models calibrate their internal settings using historical data. Collecting such data collection is an expensive, tedious, and often incomplete process. Hence, we seek an alternative to calibration from historical data. Formally, historical data offers constraints to a set of model options. An alternative methods of generating those constraints is to augment a process model with a s...

StarBEAST2 Brings Faster Species Tree Inference and Accurate Estimates of Substitution Rates

Fully Bayesian multispecies coalescent (MSC) methods like *BEAST estimate species trees from multiple sequence alignments. Today thousands of genes can be sequenced for a given study, but using that many genes with *BEAST is intractably slow. An alternative is to use heuristic methods which compromise accuracy or completeness in return for speed. A common heuristic is concatenation, which assum...
