Population number

As explained in Section 5.2.3, p,p -DDE is much more persistent in food chains than either p,p -DDT or p,p -DDD, and dnring the 1960s when DDT was still extensively used, it was often the most abundant of the three compounds in birds and mammals found or sampled in the field. Since the widespread banning of DDT, very little of the pesticides has been released into the environment, and p,p -DDE is by far the most abnndant DDT residue found in biota. While discussing the ecological effects of DDT and related compounds, effects on population numbers will be considered before those on popnlation genetics (gene frequencies). 

In the case of covalent compounds, crystal-field theory is a poor model for estimating electric field gradients because of the extensive participation of ligand atomic orbitals in the chemical bonds. MO calculations are a much better choice, since the corresponding interactions are considered, and realistic (noninteger) population numbers are obtained for the central metal as well as the ligand atomic orbitals. 

Phase 3 trials are large-scale clinical trials on populations numbering in the hundreds to thousands of patients. These are the critical trials that the drug maker runs to show that its new drug is both safe and efficacious in the target study population. If the phase 3 trials are successful, they will form the keystone elements of a New Drug Application...

One of the most usable approaches to distinguishing urban areas from other populated ones is the formal approach of population number. This approach is in wide usage in many countries, for example, in Denmark, where the area with a compact population of more than 250 people is considered as a town. However the functional approach, taking into account the labor types of the local population is also applied. For instance, in Russia the urban status requires that 75% of the local population should be employed in non-agricultural labor activity and the number of people should not be less than 12 thousand.

The physical state of a system with a varying number of particles is defined uniquely by a set of the population numbers j (f i),..., a(r ) = i/(f ) jv-Assuming the reaction is the Markov process, let us introduce the distribution functions (DF s) P( i/(r ) yv t) yielding a complete probabilistic description of the problem. The recurrent relation... 

Comparing Eq. (C.42) with Eq. (C.28), we recognize a remarkable formal equivalence106 The only difference consists of the fact that the scalar transition probability a (f - 1) for the random polycondensates of equal reactivity has to be replaced by the transition matrix P, and the population number in the 1-st generation has to be replaced by a vector (N(l)) which contains the population of the root linked units in the first generation. Furthermore, the general Eq. (C.42) reduces exactly to the case of the random trifunctional polycondensation when all link probabilities are the same107 Or in... 

The space correlation function y (r) is closely related to the distribution of the units over the various shells (N(n)). The main difference consists of the fact that 4 Tty (r) r2 dr measures the number of units in a shell at distance r from a given unit while (N(n)) represents the number of units in the n-th-shell, where nothing needs to be known about the distance of the shell from the origin. This distance is taken into consideration by the extra factor tpn(r) in Eq. (D.T). Both functions, the space correlation function y (r) and the population number (N(n)), have their advantages and disadvantages. It should be mentioned, however, that (N (n)) is much easier and more directly calculated by application of the cascade procedure than the space correlation function, which can be obtained... 

In earlier publications we have shown that the principle of selection can be deduced from the premises of a self-replicating system as an extremum principle. It states that inherent linear autocatalysis causes the relative population numbers to take on values that correspond to the highest reproductive efficiency of the system as a whole. The distribution of relative concentrations in the stationary population is, after a short induction period, independent of changes of the system as a whole. The population consists of a uniquely defined wild-type (or several equivalent,...
