Re-analysis of a salp population time-series
نویسندگان
چکیده
Weekly abundances of 2 salp populations (Salpa fusiformis and Thalia democratica) were determined for the period from 1967 to 1990 at a coastal station in the Western Mediterranean using a discrete abundance scale. A previous analysis modeled these data as a Markov chain with ordered states and found a significant effect of stratification on the Markov transition probabilities. An alternative analysis combining an underlying population model and a model of the observation process found qualitatively similar results, with population growth rate significantly related to stratification. However, by explicitly separating the population model from the observation model, the alternative approach has advantages including a closer connection to the underlying biology and the capability to predict salp abundance.

Forecasting flow discharge through time series analysis using SARIMA model for drought conditions, a case study of Jamishan River
Nowadays, water supply is more limited and providing water is more difficult due to increasing population and demand for water. Thus, due to rainfall shortage and impacts of drought, the need for forecasting monthly and annual rainfall and flow discharge through time series analysis is acutely felt. One of the key assumption in time series is their static condition. However, hydrological time s...

In order to solve the problem of voltage drop and voltage imbalance in the distribution systems, the injection of reactive power by multiple static compensators is used. The distributed generation such as photovoltaic systems could play a role of the static compensators by producing reactive power. In this paper, the integral to droop line algorithm is used to control the reactive power in busb...

متن کاملCharacterization of soluble and membrane-bound alkaline phosphatase in Nilaparvata lugens and their potential relation to development and insecticide resistance.
Two forms (soluble and membrane-bound) of alkaline phosphatases (ALPs) were found in the brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens. In order to further study ALPs in N. lugens, two putative ALP genes (Nl-ALP1 and Nl-ALP2) were identified in this pest. Both Nl-ALP1 and Nl-ALP2 show approximately the same degree of sequence identity (40-50%) to other insect soluble and membrane-bound forms of ALP. Co...
