A method is presented for estimating relative mutation rates or relative effective population sizes, under the hypothesis of adaptively neutral allelic variation. This method was applied to seven surveys of electrophoretic variation. It was observed that electrophoretic mutation rates so obtained follow the gamma distribution and, in Drosophila, are positively correlated with the molecular weig...

ethylene was homopolymerized over ziegler-natta catalyst and the homopolymerization was modeled using moment equations. mechanism was modeled according to five different reaction centers of catalyst. for each center, there are different reaction rate coefficients; therefore the final product of each center would be expected to be different. modeling results showed good conformity to the experim...

This work investigates the possibility of obtaining molecular weight distribution (MWD) linear ultrahigh (UHMW) polypropylene (PP) through rheology. To this end, viscoelastic response a set UHMWPP samples is measured over largest possible frequency range. The terminal relaxation achieved by running creep experiments and converting compliance in dynamic moduli. A time–temperature concentration p...
