Population Models with Age and Space Structure
In this thesis, basic concepts of populational models are studied from a theoretical point of view, especially the long term behaviours. All models are at least time dependent with additional age structure, spatial structure. The last model which is an extension of the von Foerster equation, is dependent on all o f these structures and have a long-term solution for large values of time. Modelin...
متن کاملFluctuations and correlations in population models with age structure
We study the population profile in a simple discrete time model of population dynamics. Our model, which is closely related to certain “bit–string” models of evolution, incorporates competition for resources via a population dependent death probability, as well as a variable reproduction probability for each individual as a function of age. We first solve for the steady–state of the model in me...
متن کاملShould comprehensive diagnosis include idiographic understanding?
The World Psychiatric Association has emphasised the importance of idiographic understanding as a distinct component of comprehensive assessment but in introductions to the idea it is often assimilated to the notion of narrative judgement. This paper aims to distinguish between supposed idiographic and narrative judgement. Taking the former to mean a kind of individualised judgement, I argue th...
متن کاملShould treatment of sepsis include statins?
During the past decade, HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins) have been shown to improve survival in patients with cardiovascular disease. Initially, the beneficial effects of statins were attributed simply to lipid reduction1; however, more recent data suggest that “pleiotropic” properties such as improvement of endothelial dysfunction, increased nitric oxide bioavailability, and antioxidativ...
متن کاملWhen Should Harvest Evolution Matter to Population Dynamics?
The potential for evolution to influence fishery sustainability remains a controversial topic. We highlight new modeling research from Dunlop et al. that explores when and how fisheries-induced evolution matters for population dynamics, while also emphasizing transient dynamics in population growth and life history-dependent responses that influence population stability and resiliency.
