(Wiley-Blackwell, 2010-04)1. Most small birds inhabiting temperate latitudes in the Holarctic increase basal metabolic rate (BMR) in winter, a pattern thought to reflect the up-regulation of metabolic machinery required for enhanced winter cold ...
-
(Elsevier, 2022-10)In this paper, an avian–human influenza epidemic model with diffusion, nonlocal delay and spatial homogeneous environment is investigated. This model describes the transmission of avian influenza among poultry, humans and ...
-
(Wiley, 2012-03)Knowledge of the prevalence, morphology and location of the azygos lobe is essential for diagnostic and surgical procedures of the lungs related to mediastinal pathologies, especially to minimize intraoperative vascular ...
-
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2009-03)This paper develops a Bayesian Vector Error Correction Model (BVECM) for forecasting inventory investment. The model is estimated using South African quarterly data on actual sales, production, unfilled orders, price level ...
-
(Wiley, 2022)We examine the temporal dynamics of the historical series of real interest rates for France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Spain pre-1730 and post-1800, the United Kingdom, and the United States stretching back ...
