Constructing stage-structured matrix population models from life tables: comparison of methods
A matrix population model is a convenient tool for summarizing per capita survival and reproduction rates (collectively vital rates) of a population and can be used for calculating an asymptotic finite population growth rate (λ) and generation time. These two pieces of information can be used for determining the status of a threatened species. The use of stage-structured population models has i...

متن کاملThe Effects of Population Aging on Economic Growth of Iran through the fertility rate and life expectancy (Overlapping Generation Model Approach)
Abstract Introduction: population aging refers to an age imbalance of the population so that the ratio of young population decreases while aged population grows. Decrease in fertility rate and growing life expectancy are the two key factors in emergence of population aging. The macro economy effects of population aging on economic growth was examined based on the effects of two factors includ...

متن کاملSpontaneous Variants of the [RNQ+] Prion in Yeast Demonstrate the Extensive Conformational Diversity Possible with Prion Proteins
Prion strains (or variants) are structurally distinct amyloid conformations arising from a single polypeptide sequence. The existence of prion strains has been well documented in mammalian prion diseases. In many cases, prion strains manifest as variation in disease progression and pathology, and in some cases, these prion strains also show distinct biochemical properties. Yet, the underlying b...
