Introduction to new demographic model for humans

چکیده
The Gompertz model since 1825 has significantly contributed to interpretation of ageing in biological and social sciences. However, in modern research findings, it is clear that the Gompertz model is not successful to describe the whole demographic trajectories. In this letter, a new demographic model is introduced especially to describe human demographic trajectories, for example, for Sweden (2002). The new model is derived from the Weibull model with an age-dependent shape parameter, which seems to indicate the dynamical aspects of biological systems for longevity. We will discuss the origin of the age-dependent shape parameter. Finally, the new model presented here has significant potential to change our understanding of definition of maximum longevity.

Fuzzy Model of Human’s Performance for Guarding a Territory in an Air Combat
This paper proposes a new method for a three dimensional fuzzy model of pilot's performance for guarding a territory with a short-distance between two aircraft in an air combat task with a gun. A third-order nonlinear point mass vehicle model is considered for an aircraft's flight dynamics. The desired value of the velocity, the flight path and the heading angles are obtained from some derived ...
متن کاملA New Measure for Evaluating the Efficiency of Human's Resources in University
In this paper we try to introduce a new approach and study the notion of efficiency under a multi objectives linear programming problem in the university by using analysis of hierarchy process (AHP). To this end, we first extract some effective parameters due to efficiency offices in university and then prioritized these parameters by the AHP method. Hence, we could classify the most im...

Introduction: There are several theories about the effect of space configuration (structure) on the psychological perception of the environment. However, there is no comprehensive and consensus model that can be used to analyze and predict spatial quality or human behavior in the environment based on spatial configuration. Theories of environmental preferences as well as navigation often empha...
متن کاملReinforced Soil Wall Analysis under Working Stress Conditions Using a Two Phase Model with the Introduction of a New Design Parameter
A previously introduced two phase model was used to assess its capability in predicting the behavior of reinforced soil walls under working stress conditions. The two phase model is a homogenization method based on the virtual work theorem. The reinforced soil medium is considered as the superposition of two continuous phases, the reinforcement and matrix phases that interact within the medium....
متن کاملA short overview about cadmium and its toxicity focused on humans, bioindicators and model organisms
According to Paracelsus (1493-1541) everything from this planet is poison, only the dose makes the poison to be harmless. Even the essential elements for life support are toxic for all organisms in high amounts. Mercury, cadmium, metalloid arsenic and lead were responsible for poisoning and death of many humans and life forms from this planet for centuries. Cadmium forms different compounds tha...
