Population density, maximum

If we examine the current geographical distribution of a mutation, it is hard to estimate the value of the population density n at the position and time where the mutation originates. It makes sense to treat n as a random variable selected from a certain probability density p n). The constraints imposed onp n) are the conservation of the normalization condition f p(n) dn = 1 and the range of variation, noc > n > 0. The maximum information entropy approach leads to a uniform distribution... 

Crystal size distributions may be characterized usefully (though only partially) by a single crystal size and the spread of the distribution about that size. For example, the dominant crystal size represents the size about which the mass in the distribution is clustered. It is defined as the size, Ld, at which a unimodal mass density function is a maximum, as shown in Fig. 11 in other words, the dominant crystal size LD is found where dm /dL is zero. (The data used to construct Fig. 11 are from Table II.) As the mass density is related to the population density by ... 

The growth rate is very markedly influenced by the population density (= worm load) within the gut and there is an extensive literature on the effect of crowding on cestode development. Examples from the Cyclophyllidea and the Pseudophyllidea are given below. In general, it can be said that the size of the worms at maturity are approximately inversely proportional to the worm load. Early work on H. diminuta suggested that if there are fewer than four worms per host, the size attained is independent of the number present, since the maximum size per worm is reached in... 

But the ribbons can be (and, for our purposes, must be) classified differently, taking into account the population density and pseudosymmetries of the highest occupied MOs (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied MOs (LUMO). Then all polyene ribbons get subdivided into four groups (see the upper part of Fig. 25). To avoid the tiresome drawing of the MO layouts given above, we encode each layout by a certain number. Goldstein and Hofimann advised to do it as follows to each ribbon we ascribe the number (n — z) mod 4, where the arithmetic operation mod 4 stands for subtraction from (n — z) of the maximum multiple of four, i.e. 4g (g = 0, 1, 2,... ). In other words,... 

For plants, too, there is a population density limit. For many plants in temperate climates, the maximum density is determined by access to light. Overcrowded plants tend to be tall and spindly, with small leaves. These plants have poor chances to survive additional environmental insults such as drought or insects (see Section 7.6.3). 

Since the maximum population density occurs at the midpoint, x = hjl, the branches of the bifurcation diagram L, Pj,P) correspond to...

Overlap population densities of states are represented of the carbon atomic orbitals of CO interacting with Ru d-valence electrons as a function of electron orbital energies. Orbital densities are shown for energies of maximum electron...

There are several different aspects of optical pumping that are related to a number of spectroscopic techniques based on optical pumping. The r.y aspect concerns the increase or decrease of the population in selected levels. At sufficiently high laser intensities the molecular transition can be saturated. This means that a maximum change AN = Nis — Nio of the population densities can be achieved, where A A is negative for the lower level and positive for the upper level of the transition (Sect. 2.1). In case of molecular transitions, where only a small fraction of all excited molecules returns back into the initial level /) by fluorescence, this level may be depleted rather completely. 

Since the transition probability and therefore also the saturation parameter S have a maximum value for molecules with D E, the population density N will decrease with increasing laser intensity for molecules with D E more than for those with D L E. This means that the degree of orientation decreases with increasing saturation (Fig. 5.6). 

The different population densities in Europe and the USA has also brought about differences in accident emergency plans in the USA, the provision of a complete evacuation of the population within 16 km of the plant in a few hours is adopted, while in Europe the maximum comparable distance is equal to 10 km. It is indeed difficult to assure the evacuation of population centres with tens, hundreds or thousands of inhabitants. Here too, the countries differences in demographic conditions has to be compensated by additional plant features (generally, the use of double containment provided with intermediate filtration systems and the use of elevated stacks). 

Brettanomyces in barrel-aging wines follows a bell-shaped growth pattern, typically reaching maximum population density 5-7 months after vinification. The time frame for development of maximum cell number (and subsequent decline) depends, in large part, on wine chemistry (particularly levels of molecular sulfur dioxide and available fermentable sugars) as well as cellar temperature. Until recently, containment/elimination of Bretta-... 

A p orbital can orient along three perpendicular directions in space, defined to be the x, y, and z axes. The 2p orbitals have a nodal plane that contains the nucleus and is perpendicular to the orbital axis. As such, the electron density is zero at the nucleus. The population density of a p orbital reaches a maximum along its axis in both the negative and positive spatial directions, and then drops off. This population density is shown as a dumbbell-like shape.
