Abstract: The objective of this study was to estimate genetic (co)variances for the Gompertz growth function parameters, asymptotic mature weight (A), the ratio of mature weight to birthweight (B) and rate of maturation (k), using alternative… read more here.

Abstract: Growth functions frequently used in forestry have in common that among the model parameters to be estimated, only the asymptote is expressed in the dimensions of the input data. By contrast, parameters determining rate and… read more here.

Abstract: Diabetes mellitus, a disease that affects nearly 536.6 million people worldwide, is characterized by the death or dysfunction of insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas. The beta cells are found within the islets of Langerhans,… read more here.
