Effect of Phosphorous on West Nile Virus Replication: Combining Experiments with Modeling A recent study (Crowder at al., 2013) found that prevalence of WNV was increased in mosquitoes and birds near agricultural activity relative to natural environment. Â We believe that the excessive use of fertilizers, whose main component is , may have influenced the global …
The effect of climate variation on shrimp reproductive strategies Reproductive strategies comprise the timing and frequency of reproductive events and the number of offspring per reproductive event, depending on factors such as climate conditions. Studying how the reproductive strategy of species varies along the latitudinal gradient can help us understand and predict how they will …
Using Little’s Law in Stochastic Modeling Stochastic models are used when there is random behavior in the model. These models come with assumptions. In the case of a continuous-time Markov chain, it is assumed that arrivals are sampled from a Poisson distribution and that the waiting times are indepen-dent and exponentially distributed. Making these assumptions …
