The Descriptive Properties of Some Models for Density Dependence

چکیده

(1) The descriptive abilities of several difference equation models for density dependence have been examined, first by a qualitative comparison of their flexibility and secondly by considering their ability to describe thirty sets of data on density dependent mortality. (2) The qualitative comparison demonstrated that two of the models have forms which are particularly flexible. The quantitative comparison indicated that of these two, that due to Maynard Smith & Slatkin (1973) is better able to describe a wide range of data.

Photosensitizing properties for porphyrazine and some derivatives

We have investigated photosensitizing properties for porphrazine and eleven of its related derivatives based on time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations. The modles have been divided into two categories based on the existence of CN functional group in one category but not in the other one. The other functional groups include H, CH3, F, CF3, C6H5, and C6F5 counterparts. The...

Spatial variability of some soil properties for site specific farming in northern Iran

Evaluating agricultural land management practices requires knowledge of soil spatial variability and understanding their relationships. Spatial distributions for fourteen soil physical and chemical properties were examined in a wheat field in Sorkhankalateh district, in Golestan province, Iran. 101 soil samples at the distances of 5m, 10m and 20m as nested grid were collected at the depth of 0-...

Wavelet Linear Density Estimation for a GARCH Model under Various Dependence Structures

We consider n observations from the GARCH-type model: S = σ2Z, where σ2 and Z are independent random variables. We develop a new wavelet linear estimator of the unknown density of σ2 under four different dependence structures: the strong mixing case, the β- mixing case, the pairwise positive quadrant case and the ρ-mixing case. Its asymptotic mean integrated squared error properties are ...

Modeling Magnetic Field in Heavy ion Collisions Using Two Different Nuclear Charge Density Distributions

By studying the properties of matter during heavy-ion collisions, a better understanding of the Quark-Gluon plasma is possible. One of the main areas of this study is the calculation of the magnetic field, particularly how the values of conductivity affects this field and how the field strength changes with proper time. In matching the theoretical calculations with results obtained in lab, two diffe...

Thermodynamic properties of polarized liquid 3He along different isentropic paths

The dependence of some thermodynamic properties of spin-polarized liquid 3He such as velocity of sound, adiabatic index, isentropic compressibility and temperature on the spin polarization has been investigated along different isentropic paths. The Lennard-Jones potential has been used in our calculations. It has been found that for higher values of entropy, the spin polarization has greate...
