the functional response of a predator is the base of prey-predator dynamics. functional response of serangium montazerii fã¼rsch at different egg densities (50, 100, 150, 200 and 250) of dialeurodes citri (ashmead) was studied in an open-patch experiment, in a growth chamber (25 â± 1â°c, 65 â± 5% rh and a photoperiod of 16: 8 l: d h) on ‘thompson’ navel orange (citrus sinensis cv. thompson)...

In this paper we present a new thermodynamically consistent phase transition model describing the evolution of a liquid substance, e.g., water, in a rigid container Ω when we freeze the container. Since the density ̺2 of ice with volume fraction β2 , is lower than the density ̺1 of water with volume fraction β1 , experiments for instance the freezing of a glass bottle filled with water show that ...

The reference to ethnicity in the 2012 National Suicide Prevention Strategy for England (1) is mainly with regard to promoting mental health in Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) groups. However, there is little detailed information about any specific strategy to reduce suicide rates in BME groups.
