MODELLING CELL POPULATION GROWTH
The growth of biological matter, e.g., tumor invasion, depends on various factors, mainly the tissue’s mechanical properties, implying elasticity, stiffness, or apparent viscosity. These properties are impacted by the characteristics of the tissue’s extracellular matrix and constituent cells, …

The Economic Consequences of Population Growth in Malawi
… literature attempting to establish the impact of population growth on economic growth. Despite the immense amount of research on the topic, there is still no consensus. Malawi presents an interesting case to investigate this issue as it is a small, low-income economy that is experiencing …

Human population growth and the environment: the Africa perspective
This study investigates the relationship between population dimensions (population growth, population density, and population size and population age structure) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions across African countries at different levels of per capita income. The approach is conceptual and …

Immunocontraceptive vaccines against brucellosis and population growth in feral swine
… property damages. In the last ten years the population of feral swine is estimated to have quadrupled and novel population control methods are needed. Furthermore, feral swine are known carriers of zoonotic diseases such as brucellosis, which threatens both livestock biosecurity and public …

Economic aspects of population growth and water consumption in Libya
… to estimate the historical relationship between population growth and the various uses of water; second, to forecast water consumption according to the various uses; third, to estimate the elasticities of water demand and examine the effect of price, income, population and temperature on water …

Investigation of the relationship between population growth and income per capita
High population growth rates are typical in most of the developing countries. This thesis explores the impact of this phenomenon on income per capita. A distinction between short-term, medium-term, and long-term effects is made in this research work. The study starts with developing theoretical …

United States population policies and environmental ethics: Addressing population growth from the biocentric perspective
… were raised over the prospects of the U.S. population growing to an unsustainable level and causing irreparable harm to the environment and our quality of life. Unfortunately, population growth has not been given the priority it deserves not because it is not an important issue, but because …

Population growth in a high amenity area: migration and socio-economic change in Cornwall
… county which has been experiencing very strong population growth since the 1970s almost solely due to in-migration. There are several aspects of the project that should contribute to an understanding of internal migration in England and Wales. First, a cohort analysis of migrants brings insights …

Collective excitations in low dimensional systems and stochastic control of population growth in a fluctuating environment
In this thesis, I study several problems in the following areas: collective excitations in condensed matter physics, noise in gene network and stochastic control in biophysics. In the first area, I construct an effective field theory to describe Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) realized in an …

Population growth as a problem in the public sphere: current state of play and future prospects
Eight contemporary population growth (PG) thinkers serve as a representative sampling of the cross-section of current PG ideas. Using the philosophical models of problems provided by Laudan (1977) and Nickles (1978, 1980a, 1981), these eight PG spokespersons are shown to have different conceptions …

Environmental driver effects on population growth rates vary by rarity type and variation in demographic rate sensitivity
… such as climate or herbivores, influence populations; however, their effects could vary by population or rarity type (range size, habitat specificity, and population density). I examined how the effects of drivers on vital rates could impact population growth due to variation of population …

Honey Bee Colony Resource Acquisition, Population Growth, and Pollen Foraging in Diversified Native Grass-Wildflower Grazing System
… pasture systems may have a slight advantage in population resource acquisition, population growth, and winter survival following the first year of establishment, though further research is needed. Pollen DNA metabarcoding revealed that honey bees in both diversified and conventional pasture …

Use of a translocation and a recessive deleterious gene to retard population growth in Blattella germanica (L.)
… deleterious gene sty were made into laboratory populations of Blattella germanica to study the effect of this genetic load on population growth. Five experimental populations and one control were followed by monthly census for eight months. Individual progeny groups were held in separate …
