In this study, population dynamics of venerid bivalve Paphia cor was investigated for a one-year period (2008-2009) in Bushehr shoreline areas (50˚ 40´ E- 29˚ 14´N) to estimate the stock abundance, growth parameters and natural mortality. Sampling was carried out bi-monthly by transects at random direction and zigzag pattern with duplicated quadrate (0.25 m2). The length frequency was ...

Growth intensity o f the green alga, Scenedesmus obliquus, was measured in autotrophic cultures, diluted once daily, between 20 and 30 °C in a light-dark cycle o f 16 : 8 h at initial optical densities between 0.02 and 1.2. Arrhenius analyses o f the results showed linear relationships be­ tween growth intensity and temperature below the temperature optimum. The temperature effects on growth, a...

We introduce a transcendental equation, describing the subsequent stages of plant cell/organ growth. Starting from empirically verified conclusions originating from the central limit theorem we also insert the influence of temperature on elongation growth to receive a time-dependent equation of growth parameterized by temperature. This self-consistent equation evolves with time using three card...
