Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Assessment of Mirex Concentrations along the Southern Shorelines of the Great Lakes, USADennis A. Apeti, Gunnar G. lauensteinMirex is a persistent and toxic polychlorinated pesticide that has compromised environmental quality in the Great Lakes region since the 1960s. As a bioaccumulative and carcinogenic compound, mirex at its current levels in Lake Ontario is a concern because of the potential for trophic level transfer and biomagnification in top predators. As a part of the NOAA’s National Status and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,934 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVAR-models for Predicting BiodiversityTonio D. Bettista, S. A. Gattone, Mariagrzia GranturcoThe aim of this work is to introduce a methodology for monitoring diversity of a biological population by using the tool of diversity profiles. In particular, we develop a theory for studying the diversity profile along the temporal axis. We propose forecasting techniques for diversity profile by using the VAR model on multivariate time series of abundance vector and ARMA … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,175 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLinear Smoothing of Noisy Spatial Temporal SeriesValter Di Giacinto, Ian dryden, Luigi ippoliti, Luca RomagnoliThe main objective of the study is the development of a linear filter to extract the signal from a spatio-temporal series affected by measurement error. We assume that the evolution of the unobservable signal can be modelled by a space time autoregressive process. In its vectorial form, the model admits a state space representation allowing the direct application of the … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,311 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPeriodicity of the HIV/AIDS Epidemic in a Mathematical Model that Incorporates ComplacencyFlugentius Baryarama, Livingstone S. Luboobi, Joseph Y.T. MugishaAn HIV/AIDS model incorporating complacency for the adult population is formulated. Complacency is assumed a function of the number of AIDS cases in a community with an inverse relation. A method to find the equilibrium state of the model is given by proving a stated theorem. An example to illustrate the application of the theorem is also given. Model analysis … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,631 accessesView PDFCite
