They can be improved by using the coefficient of variation and the coefficient of kurtosis of . The influence of outliers on the estimates of the population mean of is neutralized by calculating robust regression coefficients, obtained by the method of either least absolute deviations, Huber-M, Huber-MM, Hampel-M, Tukey-M, or adjusted least squares. These robust coefficients are used to estimate the population mean of under simple random sampling. Extension to systematic sampling—which is a probability sampling in which every element of the population has equal probability of inclusion to be drawn—using the coefficients provided by quantile regression—whose coefficients result from the minimization of the sum of absolute deviations rather than from the square deviations from the regression line—requires ratio estimators of the population mean of . The mean square errors of these estimators are expressed analytically. If the quantile regression coefficient is greater than the ratio of the covariance between the study and the auxiliary variables to the variance of the auxiliary variable minus a function of the mean or the coefficient of variation, skewness, or kurtosis of and , then the proposed robust quantile regression mean estimator of is more efficient than the ratio estimators in the presence of outliers under systematic sampling. The reason is that these estimators only use regression coefficients and not the ratio between the population mean and sample means of the auxiliary variable . The aforementioned condition occurs with the values of the case study. For empirical data of 176 forest strips, the proposed estimate of the volume of timber is over 30% more efficient than the ratio estimates based on quantile regression coefficients.","PeriodicalId":49859,"journal":{"name":"Mathematical Population Studies","volume":"30 1","pages":"195 - 207"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48451618","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

If duplication and mortality rates are equal and take the same value over all lattice sites, the resulting model is a critical branching random walk (characterized by a mean total number of offspring equal to ). There exists an asymptotical statistical equilibrium, also called steady state. In contrast, when duplication and mortality rates take independent random values drawn from a common nondegenerate distribution (so that the difference between duplication and mortality rates has nonzero variance), then the steady state no longer exists. Simultaneously, at all lattice sites, if the difference between duplication and mortality rates takes strictly positive values with strictly positive probability, the total number of particles grows exponentially. The lattice includes large connected sets where the duplication rate exceeds the mortality rate by a positive constant amount, and these connected sets provide the growth of the total population. This is the supercritical regime of branching processes. On the other hand, if the difference between duplication and mortality rates is almost surely negative or null except when it is almost surely zero, then the total number of particles vanishes asymptotically. The steady state can be reached only if the difference between duplication and mortality rates is almost surely zero.","PeriodicalId":49859,"journal":{"name":"Mathematical Population Studies","volume":"30 1","pages":"73 - 94"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44396689","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent studies have shown the separated clinical significance of PD-L1 expression in various cancer types, showing the complexity of PD-L1 in cancer cell regulation. As a novel regulatory pathway, the nuclear translocation of PD-L1 in cancer cells receives more attention. Results of these preclinical studies demonstrated that nuclear PD-L1 has an essential role in cancer development and other immune checkpoint molecules transcription. Herein, we summarized the mechanisms involved in PD-L1 nuclear transportation and identify the key regulatory factors in this process.

The quasi-periodicity of a function is proved by showing that this function is the uniform limit of a series of trigonometric polynomials with a finite total number of frequencies. The asymptotically stable quasi-periodic positive and piecewise continuous solution is proved to exist and to be unique. Quasi-periodic variation of the environment leads to a quasi-periodic growth of the population size in the sense that the rationally independent frequencies of the system are also frequencies of the quasi-periodic solution. The positive solutions have a repeated behavior similar to that of the quasi-periodic solution for a sufficiently long time due to asymptotical stability.

The larvae that emerge cause lesions in the host sheep, which can lead to death. They are found in Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. Nicholson’s model describes the population dynamics of the Australian blowfly (Lucilia Cuprina). It incorporates environmental variation. The extinction of these flies depends on the time to oviposition and the time between generations. The Lyapunov function, which is positive with a negative derivative, provides the condition for the stability of the equilibrium point: the oviposition period must be sufficiently short, because the shorter it is, the more it favors the extinction of the species. The zero solution is the only equilibrium point, synonymous with the extinction of the population. Another species of blowfly, Lucilia Sericata, also attacks sheep in Australia. Both blowflies are ectoparasites of warm-blooded vertebrates, particularly domestic sheep. These two blowflies are related to share same mitochondrial DNA sequences, although the two species are distinct. Presumably to avoid competition between them. the egg-laying time of each species does not occur at the same time of year: L. Sericata prefers warmer months, thus in summer, while L. Cuprina is mainly active in autumn. Laying of eggs in different months allows avoiding competition between these species. This also binds them together. A sufficiently small egg-laying delay then leads to the rapid extinction of both blowfly populations, provided they do not adapt.","PeriodicalId":49859,"journal":{"name":"Mathematical Population Studies","volume":"29 1","pages":"158 - 171"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45320539","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
