A comparison of individual-based and matrix projection models to applied to fish population and community dynamics
Matrix projection models and individual-based models (IBM) are commonly used for the analysis and management of fish populations. Matrix models break down the population into age or stage classes, while IBMs track individuals. I perform a series of quantitative comparisons between the predictions …

Stochastic analysis of longevity and investment risk in the context of life annuities
… modelling which allows the uncertainty of future projections to be incorporated. Hence, simulation methods are used to consider the distribution of the annuity cost, as well as the more often quoted point estimates. A theoretical extension of the use of the entropy measure applied in population …

Assessment of the IGME methods of estimating infant mortality rate and neonatal mortality rate from under-five mortality rate in countries affected by HIV
… comparing the IGME results with estimates from projection models and empirical results computed from survey data and vital statistics data corrected for the level of incompleteness for the countries included in the study. In addition, relevant literature is reviewed in order to determine the …

Wide-angle Lens Camera Calibration using Automatic Target Recognition
… in the research field about the most precise projection model to use for wide angle lens cameras and camera systems. A series of camera calibrations were carried out on two wide angle camera systems. Both camera systems exhibit properties that make them difficult to classify as either a …

Demografía y ecología evolutiva del subarbusto carnívoro Drosophyllum lusitanicum (L.) Link. (Drosophyllaceae)
… field experiments and stochastic demographic models quantified biological and ecological characteristics of the study species that could be linked to an important, positive role of recurrent fires in population dynamics. At the same time, population censuses across the species range revealed …

A hydroclimatic assessment of the U.S. corn belt across spatial and temporal scales
… stronger consideration in forecasts and climate projection models. Additionally, it is suggested that more hydroclimate assessments across spatial and temporal scales be completed to better prepare for and mitigate the effects of projected climate variability and climate change. A framework for …

Relative sea level change in the Forth and Tay Estuaries: past changes informing future trends
… components and to influence future sea level projections. Prior to this research, relative sea levels had not been analysed across this region. These datasets were collated and corrected using renowned methods and investigated using Shennan et al.’s (2012) GIA corrections, Torrence and Compo’s …

The Impact of Relational Model Bases on Organizational Decision Making: Cases in E-Commerce and Ecological Economics
… most generic "production" functions, and various projection models that organizations might require (such as sales forecasts) can all be represented by elementary relational functions. Therefore, information systems in organizations can be representative of relationships between decision …

An experimental demographic approach to exotic plant success: <b>Cynoglossum officinale</b> in its native and introduced ranges
… Montana. Integrating these results into integral projection models of population growth suggest that while escape from enemies may contribute slightly to the increased abundance of houndstongue in North America, it is the differences in response to small disturbances that leads to higher abundance …

Assessment of a freshwater turtle reintroduction

Global Structure of the Mantle Transition Zone Discontinuities and Site Response Effects in the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain
… can be used for data selection. The new global models show a number of smaller-scale features that were absent in back-projection models. Good correlation between the mantle transition zone thickness and wave speed variations suggests dominantly thermal origins for the lateral variations in the …

Area Based Fan Beam Projection Model for Computed Tomography
… or reflection data, usually referred to as projection data, from x-ray scanning. This projection data is often modeled using line integrals, but x-rays are of finite width in reality, so the accuracy of the projection data can be improved if an area based approach is used instead. In …
