Species sensitivity distributions for engineered nanomaterials.
Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) are a relatively new strain of materials for which little is understood about their impacts. A species sensitivity distribution (SSDs) is a cumulative probability distribution of a chemical's toxicity measurements obtained from single-species bioassays of various species that can be used to estimate the ecotoxicological impacts of a chemical. The recent increase ...
متن کاملOn species persistence-time distributions.
We present new theoretical and empirical results on the probability distributions of species persistence times in natural ecosystems. Persistence times, defined as the timespans occurring between species' colonization and local extinction in a given geographic region, are empirically estimated from local observations of species' presence/absence. A connected sampling problem is presented, gener...
متن کاملSpecies abundance distributions over time.
It has been known for 50 years that the time period over which data are collected affects the shape of empirical species abundance distributions. However, despite a recent resurgence of interest in characterizing and explaining these patterns the temporal component of species abundance distributions has been largely ignored. I argue that it is essential to take account of time, and not only bec...
متن کاملTime-dependent distributions in self-quenching nucleation.
Diffusion- and interface-limited Becker-Döring (BD) -type nucleation is considered in a closed system, where supersaturation is depleted by growing nuclei. Special focus is on nonadiabatic effects, which become increasingly pronounced for barriers lower than 20-25k(B)T, and which lead to nucleation rates deviating from their quasi-steady-state (QSS) values. Several essential modifications of th...
متن کاملTopological sensitivity analysis for time-dependent problems
The topological sensitivity analysis consists in studying the behavior of a given shape functional when the topology of the domain is perturbed, typically by the nucleation of a small hole. This notion forms the basic ingredient of different topology optimization / reconstruction algorithms. From the theoretical viewpoint, the expression of the topological sensitivity is wellestablished in many...
