the effect of e-64 on the developmental competence of sheep cocs during in vitro maturation
in the present study, the effect of e-64 at different concentrations (0.5, 1, 5 and 10 µm) added to (1) the ivm medium on oocyte nuclear maturation and developmental competence of ovine oocytes, and (2) to the ivc medium on embryonic development of ovine embryos were investigated.
A Note on the Convergence of the Homotopy Analysis Method for Nonlinear Age-Structured Population Models
In this paper, a theorem is proved which presents the series solution obtained from the homotopy analysis method is convergent to the exact solution of nonlinear age-structured population models.
متن کاملExtinction Criteria in Stage-Structured Population Models with Impulsive Culling
We propose stage-structured population models for species whose adult members are subject to culling, with a view to understanding the culling regimes that are likely to result in eradication of the species. A purely time-dependent model is proposed in which culling occurs at particular discrete times, not necessarily equally spaced. Then a reaction-diffusion model is proposed for a situation i...
متن کاملThe biological importance of measuring individual variation.
Functional genomics research using Fundulus heteroclitus has focused on variation among individuals because of the evolutionary importance and value of Fundulus in explaining the human condition (why individual humans are different and are affected differently by stress, disease and drugs). Among different populations and species of Fundulus, there are evolutionarily adaptive differences in gen...
متن کاملDynamics of Stage-structured Discrete Mosquito Population Models
We formulate discrete-time stage-structured models, based on systems of difference equations, for mosquito populations. We include the four distinct mosquito metamorphic stages, egg, pupa, larva, and adult, in the models. We derive a formula for the inherent net reproductive number, and investigate existence and stability of fixed points. We also show that the models, by means of numerical simu...
