Macdougall, Geol. Soc. India Mem. 10, 53 (1988). 39. Partially supported by National Science Foundation grants (EAR 9118008, EAR 9205054, EAR 9209719, and EAR 9206502) and the Institute of Human Origins. We are grateful to R. K. Srivastava for providing the Sarnu samples and to the staff and scientists of the Directorate of Geology and Mining, Gujarat State, for their assistance in the field-sampling and for sharing the geological information for many of the alkaline complexes mentioned in this study. Constructive comments by two anonymous reviewers improved the manuscript substantially.

Dynamical behavior of a stage structured prey-predator model
In this paper, a new stage structured prey-predator model with linear functional response is proposed and studied. The stages for prey have been considered. The proposed mathematical model consists of three nonlinear ordinary differential equations to describe the interaction among juvenile prey, adult prey and predator populations. The model is analyzed by using linear stability analysis to ob...
متن کاملComparison of Ecological Patches' Potentials and Functions in Rangeland Ecosystems (Case Study: Qahavand Rangelands, Hamedan Province, Iran)
Interrupting the processes which control ecosystem resources has dramatic impacts on the rangeland conditions. To protect ecosystems and landscape, it needs to understand the ecosystem processes which regulate the ecosystem resources. As main components of ecosystems, patches and inter-patches play important roles in energy and materials cascade. Ecologically, functional parameters such as stab...
متن کاملDiversity, stability, and reproducibility in stochastically assembled microbial ecosystems
Microbial ecosystems are remarkably diverse, stable, and often consist of a balanced mixture of core and peripheral species. Here we propose a conceptual model exhibiting all these emergent properties in quantitative agreement with real ecosystem data, specifically species abundance and prevalence distributions. Resource competition and metabolic commensalism drive stochastic ecosystem assembly...
متن کاملStability analysis and feedback control of T-S fuzzy hyperbolic delay model for a class of nonlinear systems with time-varying delay
In this paper, a new T-S fuzzy hyperbolic delay model for a class of nonlinear systems with time-varying delay, is presented to address the problems of stability analysis and feedback control. Fuzzy controller is designed based on the parallel distributed compensation (PDC), and with a new Lyapunov function, delay dependent asymptotic stability conditions of the closed-loop system are derived v...
متن کاملStability and Robust Performance Analysis of Fractional Order Controller over Conventional Controller Design
In this paper, a new comparative approach has been proposed for reliable controller design. Scientists and engineers are often confronted with the analysis, design, and synthesis of real-life problems. The first step in such studies is the development of a 'mathematical model' which can be considered as a substitute for the real problem. The mathematical model is used here as a plant. Fractiona...
متن کاملA Conceptual Model on Relationship between Structure and Functions in Rangeland Ecosystems
One of the most important issues in structure-function relationship modeling is that each rangeland has numerous functions and each of them can provide the most benefits in a certain state of that ecosystem. In fact, relationship between structure and function can be varied in different states. After presentation of the Linear Structure-Function Model based on the Clementsian succession theory,...
