Population Balance Discretization for Growth, Attrition, Aggregation, Breakage and Nucleation
(Elsevier, 2015-08-28)
This paper presents a new discretization method to solve the population balance equation (PBE) for batch and unsteady/steady-state continuous perfectly-mixed systems. The numerical technique is valid for any size change ...
Reactivity of Sedimentary and Metamorphic Limestones of Different Particle Sizes under Controlled Conditions
(2019-02-21)
The efficiency of limestone in amending soil acidity is primarily based on the particle size and the neutralization value of the ground rock, but the origin of the rock can also affect its reactivity. The aim of this work ...
Phenotypic plasticity in clutch size regulation among populations of a potential invasive fruit fly from environments that vary in host heterogeneity and isolation
(Cambridge University Press, 2018-05)
Phenotypic plasticity is thought to evolve in response to environmental unpredictability and can shield genotypes from selection. However, selection can also act on plastic traits. Egg-laying behaviour, including clutch ...
What determines organ size differences between species? A meta-analysis of the cellular basis
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2017-07)
Little is known about how the characteristic differences in organ size between species are regulated. At the cellular level, the size of an organ is strictly regulated by cell division and expansion during its development. ...
Effects of temperature and meal size on the postprandial metabolic response of Leptodactylus latrans (Anura, Leptodactylidae)
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2019-10-15)
The postprandial increment of metabolism, often referred to as specific dynamic action (SDA), encompasses the summed costs of meal ingestion, digestion, absorption, and assimilation. Different SDA parameters, such as its ...
Torsional fatigue resistance of pathfinding instruments manufactured from several nickel-titanium alloys
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2018-06-01)
AimTo evaluate the torsional properties of pathfinding nickel-titanium (NiTi) rotary instruments manufactured from several NiTi alloys, ProGlider (M-wire), Hyflex GPF (conventional NiTi Wire and controlled memory wire), ...
Copy number of P elements, KP/full-sized P element ratio and their relationships with environmental factors in Brazilian Drosophila melanogaster populations
(Nature Publishing Group, 2003-12-01)
The P transposable element copy numbers and the KP/full-sized P element ratios were determined in eight Brazilian strains of Drosophila melanogaster. Strains from tropical regions showed lower overall P element copy numbers ...

Gradually truncated log-normal in USA publicly traded firm size distribution
(Elsevier B.V., 2007-03-01)
We study the statistical distribution of firm size for USA and Brazilian publicly traded firms through the Zipf plot technique. Sale size is used to measure firm size. The Brazilian firm size distribution is given by a ...
