Simulation of fish population responses to exploitation
(Elsevier, 1991-08)
A model that couples Larkin's predator-prey model, Ivlev's feeding model, Ursin's growth equation and the exponential mortality model was applied for simulation of the responses of fish populations to exploitation. Simulations ...
An evaluation of the effectiveness of cluster development in the Town of Southampton, New York
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2001-01)
Clustering new development, and as a result retaining protected open space, has been a simultaneously much touted and much maligned planning tool. Its relative merits as a tool to preserve farmland, open space and rural ...
Simple models for exploitative and interference competition
(Elsevier, 1987-02)
Competition is exploitative when species compete for the same limited resource, and interference when species deplete one another's resources by interferences such as aggressive displays or fighting. If pure exploitative ...
Modeling nutrient behavior in Wetlands
(Elsevier, 1988-01)
A simple mathematical model os developed which permites dynamic simulation of wetland hydrology and of nutrient-driven interactions between wastewater and the wetland ecosystem. Spatial variations due to surface water flow ...
Parting with illusions in evolutionary ethics
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2003-11)
I offer a critical analysis of a view that has become a dominant aspect of recent thought on the relationship between evolution and morality, and propose an alternative. An ingredient in Michael Ruse's 'error theory' (Ruse ...
Seamless integration of spatial statistics and GIS: The S-PLUS for ArcView and the S+ Grassland Links
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 2000-09)
The extension of the functional capacity of geographic information systems (GIS) with tools for statistical analysis in general and exploratory spatial data analysis (ESDA) in particular has been an increasingly active ...
Effect of oil on recruitment from the seed bank of two tidal freshwater wetlands
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; SPB Academic Publishing bv ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1992-03)
The effect of oil spills on the recruitment of freshwater tidal wetland species was determined using soil seed bank samples collected in early March from two New Jersey Delaware River marshes. Samples were exposed to ...
Impact of a once-through cooling system on the yellow perch stock in the western basin of lake erie
(Elsevier, 1982-03)
The surplus production model, a conventional fishery stock assessment model, is applied to assess the entrainment and impingement impact of the Monroe Power Plant on the yellow perch standing stock and fishery in the western ...
Spatio-temporal pattern of viral meningitis in Michigan, 1993-2001
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 2005-05)
To characterize Michigan’s high viral meningitis incidence rates, 8,803 cases from 1993–2001 were analyzed for standard epidemiological indices, geographic distribution, and spatio-temporal clusters. Blacks and infants ...
A Hierarchical Path View Model for Path Finding in Intelligent Transportation Systems
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1997-08)
Effective path finding has been identified as an important requirement for dynamic route guidance in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). Path finding is most efficient if the all-pair (shortest) paths are precomputed ...
