Accurate predictions of daily wildfire growth rates are crucial, as extreme wildfires have become increasingly frequent in recent years. The factors which determine complex and depend on numerous meteorological factors, topography, fuel loads. In this paper, we built upon previous studies that mapped burned areas at the individual fire level around globe. We applied several Machine Learning (ML...

We characterize the compensation demanded by investors in equilibrium for incremental exposure to growth-rate risk. Given an underlying Markov diffusion that governs the state variables in the economy, the economic model implies a stochastic discount factor process S and a reference stochastic growth process G for the macroeconomy. Both are modeled conveniently as multiplicative functionals of ...

The concept of growth rates in group theory has proven to be a potent tool for studying groups. For example, in 1981, Mikhail Gromov proved the set of finitely-generated virtually nilpotent groups are precisely the groups of polynomial growth. In this paper, we give an introduction to growth rate in group theory and provide many tools and examples to illustrate some of the methods used. We also...

At the beginning of the 1980s, researchers knew that actin fi laments were present in all cell types and were important for force generation and cell movement. But relatively little was known about how actin monomers assembled into fi laments. In fact, researchers didn’t even possess information as fundamental as the rate constants of monomer association and dissociation. In 1981, however, Tom ...

Previous studies carried out with Pecten maximus (Bivalvia: Pectinidae) juveniles in the Bay of Brest have demonstrated that diatom and, more obviously, toxic dinoflagellate blooms could have a negative effect on the daily growth rate. The aim of this study was to characterize the daily shell growth from early 1998 to late spring 1999 with a careful qualitative and quantitative description of t...

Background Fire research and management applications, such as fire behaviour analysis emissions modelling, require consistent, highly resolved spatiotemporal information on wildfire growth progression. Aims We developed a new mapping method that uses quality-assured sub-daily active fire/thermal anomaly satellite retrievals (2003–2020 MODIS 2012–2020 VIIRS data) to develop high-resolution datas...

A completely randomized experimental design was conducted to estimate ammonia excretion rate by red tilapia (Oreochromis sp.) during different stages of its growth in recirculating water system units typically designed to meet the experiment purposes. Eight weight groups each containing 75individuals of 20, 30, 40, 60, 80, 120, 180 and 200g average weight were considered as treatments in duplic...

In this study, Effects of garlic (Allium sativum) extract on growth indices and hemolymph parameters of Litopenaeus vannamei with mean weight 18.21±0.29 g were studied for a period of 56 days. This study was conducted inside 300-liter polyethylene containers as four treatments each with four replicates and each replicate testing 5 shrimps. A basic diet supplemented by 0 (control), 40, 80 and 10...
