Forecasting the necessity of grain fumigation during storage by Dimitar KUZMANOV, Nikolay DIMITROV

“…According to the simulation models composed for the population growth and feeding damage of the insects: Sitophilus oryzae (L.), Sitophilus granarius (L.) and Rhizopertha dominica (F.) the populations densities have been determined at which the grain fumigation costs at using phosphorus hydrogen preparations equal the damage values caused by insects. …”

Towards more compact South African settlements through informal housing: The case of backyard densification in Bridgton and Bongolethu, Oudtshoorn by Louis Lategan, Juanee Cilliers

“…Results show that informal backyard rentals increase dwelling unit and population densities substantially in the case study, accommodating households who would otherwise occupy land illegally on the urban periphery, contributing to urban sprawl. …”

Spatiotemporal Fluctuations and Triggers of Ebola Virus Spillover by John Paul Schmidt, Andrew W. Park, Andrew M. Kramer, Barbara A. Han, Laura W. Alexander, John M. Drake

“…Our model (area under the curve 0.80 on test data) shows that spillover intensity is highest during transitions between wet and dry seasons; overall, high seasonal intensity occurs over much of tropical Africa; and spillover intensity is greatest at high (>1,000/km2) and very low (<100/km2) human population densities compared with intermediate levels. These results suggest strong seasonality in Ebola spillover from wild reservoirs and indicate particular times and regions for targeted surveillance.…”

Neuroanatomy of the Will by James William Hendry Sonne

“…Ethical issues involving the ability for patients to make conscious, informed choices, such as in cases of dementia or coma, abound, and the health implications of individual choice on public wellbeing are becoming increasingly important as population densities increase. Furthermore, the use of animals for drug testing presents moral dilemmas related to our concepts of consciousness, pain, and consent. …”

Synchronous population fluctuations of forest and field voles: implications for population management by Tkadlec, E., Suchomel, J., Purchart, L., Heroldová, M., Čepelka, L., Homolka, M.

“…High population densities of field and forest voles cause economic losses by consuming crop or slowing down forest regeneration by damaging the bark of young trees. …”

A comparative approach to stabilizing mechanisms between discrete- and continuous-time consumer-resource models. by Abhyudai Singh

“…Inspired by the Nicholson-Bailey/Lotka-Volterra models in discrete-time/continuous-time, respectively, we consider host-parasitoid interactions with an arbitrary parasitoid attack rate that is a function of both the host/parasitoid population densities. Our analysis shows that a Type II functional response is stabilizing in both modeling frameworks only when combined with other mechanisms, such as mutual interference between parasitoids. …”

Quantitative emission spectroscopy for superorbital reentry in expansion tube X2 by Hermann, T, Löhle, S, Bauder, U, Morgan, R, Wei, H, Fasoulas, S

“…Spatially resolved optical emission spectroscopy of the stagnation streamline in the near-infrared wavelength range from 695 to 880 nm was conducted, analyzing the flow from the side. Population densities of excited atomic states, electronic excitation temperatures, and electron and ion densities were determined by analyzing the radiative transport in the flowfield. …”

Global distribution data for cattle, buffaloes, horses, sheep, goats, pigs, chickens and ducks in 2010 by Gilbert, M, Nicolas, G, Cinardi, G, Van Boeckel, TP, Vanwambeke, SO, Robinson, TP

“…GLW 3 provides global population densities of cattle, buffaloes, horses, sheep, goats, pigs, chickens and ducks in each land pixel at a spatial resolution of 0.083333 decimal degrees (approximately 10 km at the equator). …”

How linear features alter predator movement and the functional response by McKenzie, H, Merrill, E, Spiteri, R, Lewis, M

“…This suggests that prey at low population densities are at higher risk in environments with a high seismic line density unless they learn to avoid them.…”

The population genetics of using homing endonuclease genes in vector and pest management. by Deredec, A, Burt, A, Godfray, H

“…HEGs may be used to decrease population fitness to drive down population densities (possibly causing local extinction) or, in disease vectors, to knock out a gene required for pathogen transmission. …”

Recordings of the discovery of novel food patches in common woodland birds in Wytham Woods, Oxfordshire, UK 2021 by Beck, K, Firth, J A, McMahon, K, Croft, S, Cole, E F, Sheldon, B

The positive effects of the higher education expansion policy on urban innovation in China by Qinghua Zhang, Yuhang Chen, Yilin Zhong, Junhao Zhong

“…The results show that: (1) The higher education expansion policy significantly promotes urban innovation; (2) the policy promotes human capital expansion and strengthens government financial support, thereby significantly fostering urban innovation; (3) the impact of the policy varies across cities with different geographic locations, population densities and levels of marketization. Therefore, the findings of this paper provide empirical evidence that higher education expansion policy stimulates urban innovation. …”

Unexpected plasticity in the life cycle of Trypanosoma brucei by Sarah Schuster, Jaime Lisack, Ines Subota, Henriette Zimmermann, Christian Reuter, Tobias Mueller, Brooke Morriswood, Markus Engstler

“…In the mammalian host’s circulation, proliferating slender stage cells differentiate into cell cycle-arrested stumpy stage cells when they reach high population densities. This stage transition is thought to fulfil two main functions: first, it auto-regulates the parasite load in the host; second, the stumpy stage is regarded as the only stage capable of successful vector transmission. …”
