The evolution of thermal physiology in ectotherms
During the last quarter of a century, the evolution of the thermal sensitivity of performance in ectotherms has become a major focus of research programs in evolutionary physiology. Graphical and mathematical models describe how the relationship between body temperature and performance, termed the performance function, should evolve in response to the thermal environment. Interspecific comparis...
متن کاملsecuritization of mortality risks in life annuities
insurers have in the past few decades faced longevity risks - the risk that annuitants survive more than expected - and therefore need a new approach to manage this new risk. in this dissertation we survey methods that hedge longevity risks. these methods use securitization to manage risk, so using modern financial and insurance pricing models, especially wang transform and actuarial concepts, ...
15 صفحه اولsuppression of coke formation in thermal cracking by coke inhibitors
the main purpose of this research was to:1.develop a coking model for thermal cracking of naphtha.2.study coke inhibition methods using different coke inhibitors.developing a coking model in naphtha cracking reactors requires a suitable model of the thermal cracking reactor based on a reliable kinetic model.to obtain reliable results all these models shall be solved simultaneously.for this pu...
15 صفحه اولPredicting the physiological performance of ectotherms in fluctuating thermal environments.
Physiological ecologists have long sought to understand the plasticity of organisms in environments that vary widely among years, seasons and even hours. This is now even more important because human-induced climate change is predicted to affect both the mean and variability of the thermal environment. Although environmental change occurs ubiquitously, relatively few researchers have studied th...
متن کاملGlobal analysis of thermal tolerance and latitude in ectotherms.
A tenet of macroecology is that physiological processes of organisms are linked to large-scale geographical patterns in environmental conditions. Species at higher latitudes experience greater seasonal temperature variation and are consequently predicted to withstand greater temperature extremes. We tested for relationships between breadths of thermal tolerance in ectothermic animals and the la...
