In summary, to find the intervals where the function is increasing and decreasing, you would need to find the first derivative and then solve the resulting 3rd order equation. This can be done by creating a sign chart of the first derivative and finding the critical points. One of th...
Our results suggest the decreasing role of stochastic forces and the increasing importance of deterministic processes as species move along the INIC9,22. This increasing role of deterministic processes relative to the diminishing role of stochasticity in assembling regional species lists (that is, the ...

decreasing flow discharge and accumulation of lateral coarse sediment supply (>0.08 mm median grain size) from wind-borne sediments coarsened the channel bed surface locally, leading to the channel aggradation rate accelerating rapidly, which were also verified heavy mineral and element indicators [39,...
where εi is a parameter that can have different physical values (it can characterize both the eigenvalues of the system under study and the external actions acting on it), and T is time intervals that characterize the period of discreteness of control actions. It is assumed that the problem...
(VCO2) were determined via indirect calorimetry (Oxylet, Panlab, Barcelona, Spain). VO2and VCO2data were recorded for 24 h at 3 min intervals using a computer-assisted data acquisition program (Chart 5.2; AD Instrument, Bella Vista, NSW, Australia). Energy expenditure (EE) was obtained ...
The median observation period was 6.6 years in the HP treatment and 6.7 years in the non-HP treatment cohort. The median intervals from cohort entry to GC diagnosis were 5.4 and 5.1 years, respectively. The Kaplan–Meier curves for cumulative incidences of GC in the target and comparator coho...
