The Virgin Island Model
نویسنده
چکیده
A continuous mass population model with local competition is constructed where every emigrant colonizes an unpopulated island. The population founded by an emigrant is modeled as excursion from zero of an one-dimensional diffusion. With this excursion measure, we construct a process which we call Virgin Island Model. A necessary and sufficient condition for extinction of the total population is obtained for finite initial total mass.

متن کاملRelationship between dietary virgin Olive oil on brain Cholesterol, Cholesteryl ester and Triglyceride levels and Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) permeability in a rat stroke model
Introduction: Recent studies suggest that dietary virgin olive oil (VOO) reduces hypoxia-re oxygenation injury in rat brain. We have attempted to determine the effect of dietary virgin olive oil on brain lipidomics and its relationship with brain edema in a rat stroke model. Methods: Five groups, each consisting of 6 male Wistar rats, were studied. The first and second groups (control and s...
