Some features of the acceleration impulse response function
(2021-01-01)
Impulse response functions (IRFs) and frequency response functions (FRFs) are fundamental quantities that describe the dynamic behaviour of a linear vibrating system in the time and frequency domains respectively. The ...
Dynamics of handling time and functional response by larvae of Chrysomya albiceps (Dipt., Calliphoridae) on different prey species
(2004-07-01)
One way to understand the behavioural patterns exhibited by a predator in response to prey density is to evaluate its functional response. Such evaluation yields information about basic mechanisms of prey-predator dynamics, ...
A Multiple Response Function for Optimization of Analytical Strategies Involving Multi-elemental Determination
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2016-03)
This paper presents a comparison between a multiple response function (MR) proposed for optimization of analyticalstrategies involving multi-element determinations with the desirability function D, which was proposed by ...
Cannibalistic behavior and functional response in Chrysomya albiceps (Diptera : Calliphoridae)
(Kluwer Academic/plenum Publ, 2004-03-01)
Chrysomya albiceps is a facultative predator and cannibal species during the larval stage. Very little is known about cannibalism and prey size preference, especially in blowflies. The purpose of this investigation was to ...
The effect of hunger level on predation dynamics in the spider Nesticodes rufipes: a functional response study
(Springer, 2006-09-01)
It is well known that a predator has the potential to regulate a prey population only if the predator responds to increases in prey density and inflicts greater mortality rates. Predators may cause such density-dependent ...
Experimental design and multiple response optimization: Using the desirability function in analytical methods development
(Elsevier, 2014-02)
A review about the application of response surface methodology (RSM) when several responses have to be simultaneously optimized in the field of analytical methods development is presented. Several critical issues like ...
The functional and numerical responses of Trissolcus basalis (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae) parasitizing Nezara viridula (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) eggs in the field
(Cambridge University Press, 2012-08)
Trissolcus basalis has been used as a biological control agent of its main host, Nezara viridula, in many countries. However, estimations of its functional and numerical responses in the field are lacking. We estimated the ...
Multiple response optimization: Analysis of genetic programming for symbolic regression and assessment of desirability functions
(Elsevier B.V., 2019-09-01)
Multiple responses optimization (MRO) consists in the search for the best settings in an problem with conflicting responses. MRO is performed following the steps: experimental design; experimental data gathering; mathematical ...
Functional traits, the phylogeny of function, and ecosystem service vulnerability
(Wiley, 2013-09)
People depend on benefits provided by ecological systems. Understanding how these ecosystem services – and the ecosystem properties underpinning them – respond to drivers of change is therefore an urgent priority. We address ...
