The methods measuring the departure between observation and the model were reviewed. The following statistics were applied on two experimental data sets: ChiSquared, Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Anderson-Darling, Wilks-Shapiro, and Jarque-Bera. Both investigated sets proved not to be normal distributed. The Grubbs’ test identified one outlier and after its removal the normality of the set of 205 chemica...

Time-dependent changes of the wind speed, as for example in Hera Campus (East Timor), are analysed by statistical and autocorrelation function time domain frequency spectrum (frequency domain) using Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). The speed can be modelled Weibull distribution function. shows roughly a non-exponential decay with periodicity. power two peaks nearly 1/f nature at high frequencies, ...

Degenerate parabolic equations of Kolmogorov type occur in many areas of analysis and applied mathematics. In their simplest form these equations were introduced by Kolmogorov in 1934 to describe the probability density of the positions and velocities of particles but the equations are also used as prototypes for evolution equations arising in the kinetic theory of gases. More recently equation...

This work presents a discrete time model for the dynamics of a size-classified benthic population with planktonic larvae. Recruitment, decoupled from local reproduction by larval dispersal, is represented in the model as an external subsidy to the local population. Analysis of the model reveals the importance of recruitment and growth plasticity in determining the stability of an equilibrium wh...

The impact of the presence of risk of destructive event on the silvicultural practice of a forest stand is investigated. For that, we consider a model of population dynamics. This model has allowed us to make the comparison without and with risk, and highlight the influence of the presence of risk of destructive event on optimal thinning and optimal rotation period.
