Dynamics of populations with nonoverlapping generations, continuous mortality, and discrete reproductive periods
(Elsevier, 1994-08)
Simple nonlinear difference equations have been used to describe the growth of populations with nonoverlapping generations; these equations assume mortality and recruitment to be discrete and instantaneous. In reality, ...
Development of Bayesian Monte Carlo techniques for water quality model uncertainty
(Elsevier, 1992-07)
A new technique, Bayesian Monte Carlo (BMC), is used to quantify errors in water quality models caused by uncertain parameters. BMC also provides estimates of parameter uncertainty as a function of observed data on model ...
Thermodynamic modelling of bio-species accommodation
(Elsevier, 1978-01)
An ecological model has been constructed. A chemical analogy to the biological system has been developed, and the system's driving forces have been identified.
Research on the human components of global change : Next steps
(Elsevier, 1992-09)
Although research on human interactions in global change is advancing rapidly, future research in this field will require changes in the scale and scope of social science research projects. The social sciences will also ...
A new experience mining approach for improving low carbon city development
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2020-07)
Developing low carbon city (LCC) has been widely appreciated as an important strategy for sustainable development. In line with this, an increasing number of cities globally have launched low carbon practices in recent ...
A study of sustainable practices in the sustainability leadership of international contractors
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc.Routledge, 2020-07)
With an increasing global need for sustainable development, numerous world‐leading construction corporations have devoted significant efforts to implementing sustainable practices. However, few previous studies have shared ...
Peaks of transportation CO2 emissions of 119 countries for sustainable development: Results from carbon Kuznets curve
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc.Routledge, 2020-07)
Transportation has significantly boomed energy consumption and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Understanding and forecasting the dynamic statuses of transportation CO2 emissions is a necessary step before making strategies ...
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 ...
