Species as historical individuals
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1990-10)
The species category is defined as the smallest historical individual within which there is a parental pattern of ancestry and descent. The use of historical individual in this definition is consistent with the prevailing ...
Efficient convexity and domination algorithms for fine- and medium-grain hypercube computers
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag New York Inc., 1992-12)
This paper gives hypercube algorithms for some simple problems involving geometric properties of sets of points. The properties considered emphasize aspects of convexity and domination. Efficient algorithms are given for ...
An epidemiological model of the corn stunt system in Central America
(Elsevier, 1990)
There is increasing appreciation on the part of ecologists of the crucial role that pathogens may play in the structure of plant populations and communities. This study used classic equations of epidemiology to analyze ...
ON THE EVOLUTION OF MORALITY AND RELIGION: A RESPONSE TO LEE CRONK
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 1994-09)
Issue is taken with Dawkins and Krebs's (1978) conception of communication as being by nature manipulative and with Cronk's proposals concerning the evolution of morality, both of which are grounded in evolutionary biology. ...
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 ...
Exposure to strong static magnetic field slows the growth of human cancer cells in vitro
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1996)
Proposals to enhance the amount of radiation dose delivered to small tumors with radioimmunotherapy by constraining emitted electrons with very strong homogeneous static magnetic fields has renewed interest in the cellular ...
Comment on “Effects of 60 Hz electromagnetic fields on early growth in three plant species and a replication of previous results” by Mark S. Davies
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1997)
No abstract.
Mapping freeze/thaw boundaries with SMMR data
(Elsevier, 1990-08)
Nimbus 7 SMMR data are used to map daily freeze/thaw patterns in the upper Midwest for the fall of 1984. The combination of a low 37 GHz radiobrightness and a negative 10.7, 18 and 37 GHz spectral gradient, [part]Tb/[part]f, ...
