✦ Synopsis

We present a simple model for the arterial part of the cardiovascular system, based on Poiseuille flow constrained by the power dissipated into the cells lining the vessels. This, together with the assumption of a volume-filling network, leads to correct predictions for the evolution of vessel radii, vessel lengths and blood pressure in the human arterial system. The model can also be used to find exponents for allometric scaling, and gives good agreement with data on mammals.

## Abstract We describe a useful and simple model for studies of simultaneous methanogenic–denitrification (M–D) systems. One equation predicts an inverse relationship between the percentage of electron donor channeled into dissimilatory denitrification and the loading ratio λ given by grams degrad

This paper introduces a simple stochastic model for waterfowl movement. After outlining the properties of the model, we focus on parameter estimation. We compare three standard least squares estimation procedures with maximum likelihood (ML) estimates using Monte Carlo simulations. For our model, li
