The effect of finiteness in degree number is analyzed on a growing network. The dynamics is governed by a rule where the degree number increases under a scheme similar to the Malthus-Verhulst model in the context of population growth. One notices that the second moment of degree is closely related to the linking probability of this growing network. The degree distribution is analyzed in both st...

A new delay equation is introduced to describe the punctuated evolution of complex nonlinear systems. A detailed analytical and numerical investigation provides the classification of all possible types of solutions for the dynamics of a population in the four main regimes dominated respectively by: (i) gain and competition, (ii) gain and cooperation, (iii) loss and competition and (iv) loss and...

A modification of the logistic equation is critically analysed and its application to competition between sexual and asexual populations presented. Such a model of competition can be a formal representation of the tangled bank hypothesis of the evolution and maintenance of sexuality. It shows that the elimination of asexual individuals by sexual ones is possible only if the size of the habitat ...

We consider a class of evolution equations describing population dynamics in the presence of a carrying capacity depending on the population with delay. In an earlier work, we presented an exhaustive classification of the logistic equation where the carrying capacity is linearly dependent on the population with a time delay, which we refer to as the “linear delayed carrying capacity” model. Her...

A region is considered self-sustainable when the feed provision is adequate for all livestock demands. Livestock is fed in order to supply nutrient needs for maintenance, growth, and reproduction purposes. This study aimed to determine whether Madura Island inIndonesia is able to independently provide sufficient forage for its ruminant livestock. A Carrying Capacity Index (CCI) in four regions ...

Nat iona l and international economic policy has usually ignored the environment. In areas where the environment is beginning to impinge on policy, as in the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), it remains a tangential concern, and the presumption is often made that economic growth and economic liberalization (including the liberaliz...

in this paper, static performance characteristics for a finite lenght two-lobe journal bearing lubricated with micropolar fluid is studied. using finite element method, steady-state film pressure is obtained by solving modified reynolds equation, based on micropolar lubrication theory. with the help of film pressure in bearing, the static performance characteristics in terms of load carrying ca...

in this paper the problem on “magnetic fluid lubrication of porous-pivoted slider bearing with slip velocity by n ahmad et.al.[7]” has been recapitulated using jenkin’s model [4] with the additional effect of squeeze velocity of the above plate. it is found that while discussing the above problem, [7] has stated but ignored the term , where +, in their study (refer equation(2.2)). this paper re...
