    Abstract A survey of three types of cell population models is presented in this paper. The main issue in all the surveyed works is whether or not there exists a stable type distribution (s.t.d.). In the last few years, many efforts were directed towards describing the most general models which still exhibit s.t.d. Progress made in the case of size density models are discussed. A slightly extended version of a time continous daughter cell model, studied in Arino et al. (1991), is presented. Recently, some authors have undertaken the task of comparing models of various origins and types. Such works are alluded to in a discussion.

    Abstract The observation of global-scale land cover (LC) is of importance to international initiatives such as the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and Kyoto protocol, governments, and scientific communities in their understanding and monitoring of the changes affecting the environment, and the coordination of actions to mitigate and adapt to global change. As such, reliable and consistent global LC (GLC) datasets are being sought. For instance, GLC datasets are used as an input for many Global Circulation Models, Earth Systems Models and Integrated Assessment Models used for global and regional climate simulations, dynamic vegetation modelling, carbon (stock) modelling, ecosystem modelling, land surface modelling, and impact assessments (Hibbard et al., 2010; Herold et al., 2011).

    Abstract Several attempts at building a satisfactory model of the glucose-insulin system are recorded in the literature. The minimal model, which is the model currently mostly used in physiological research on the metabolism of glucose, was proposed in the early eighties for the interpretation of the glucose and insulin plasma concentrations following the intravenous glucose tolerance test. It is composed of two parts: the first consists of two differential equations and describes the glucose plasma concentration time-course treating insulin plasma concentration as a known forcing function; the second consists of a single equation and describes the time course of plasma insulin concentration treating glucose plasma concentration as a known forcing function. The two parts are to be separately estimated on the available data. In order to study glucose-insulin homeostasis as a single dynamical system, a unified model would be desirable. To this end, the simple coupling of the original two parts of the minimal model is not appropriate, since it can be shown that, for commonly observed combinations of parameter values, the coupled model would not admit an equilibrium and the concentration of active insulin in the "distant" compartment would be predicted to increase without bounds. For comparison, a simple delay-differential model is introduced, is demonstrated to be globally asymptotically stable around a unique equilibrium point corresponding to the pre-bolus conditions, and is shown to have positive and bounded solutions for all times. The results of fitting the delay-differential model to experimental data from ten healthy volunteers are also shown. It is concluded that a global unified model is both theoretically desirable and practically usable, and that any such model ought to undergo formal analysis to establish its appropriateness and to exclude conflicts with accepted physiological notions.

    Abstract A method for the monitoring of night-time gas flaring of off-shore oil/gas extraction platforms using measurements of the Along Track Scanning Radiometer (ATSR) and the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is presented and discussed in detail. The positions of off-shore extraction sites are accurately estimated by using SAR data, while the flaring activity is estimated from night-time shortwave infrared (SWIR) radiance measured by ATSR. The North Sea area has been selected as test case and related flaring activity from 1991 to 2010 has been analysed at single site and at North Sea area scales. Results indicate a decline in the overall flaring activity during the time period considered in this work, although single sites can show positive flaring trends. The ATSR derived flaring time series has been compared to the crude oil production data provided by the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), showing very good agreement in terms of trend and seasonal behaviour. We present a simple inversion scheme aimed at the evaluation of the flame parameters (temperature and size) from night-time shortwave, middle and thermal infrared ATSR measurements, and results are discussed in detail. Finally, the possibility to estimate flaring efficiency from satellite measurements and from detailed technical information on flaring devices is envisaged. The proposed approach can be easily extended to other areas in which gas flaring from off-shore oil and gas extraction are an important economic and environmental factor.

    Abstract Global night-time fire counts for the years from 1995 to 2009 have been obtained by using the latest version of Along Track Scanning Radiometer Top of Atmosphere radiance products (level 1B), and related trends have been estimated. Possible biases due to cloud coverage variations have been assumed to be negligible. The sampling number (acquisition frequency) has also been analysed in detail and proved not to influence our results. The new ATSR World Fire Atlas (WFA) product continuity has been tested by comparing the partially overlapping fire counts time series from the ATSR-2 (on board ERS-2) and the AATSR (on board ENVISAT) missions which showed negligible offsets. The ATSR-WFA products show very good correlation with the TRMM-VIRS and MODIS-Aqua/Terra monthly night-time fire counts. Global night-time fire trends have been evaluated by inspecting the time series of hot spots aggregated a) at 2°×2° scale; b) at district/country/region/continent scales, and c) globally. The statistical significance of the estimated trend parameters has been verified by means of the Mann–Kendall test. Results indicate that no trends in the absolute number of fire counts can be identified at the global scale, that there has been no appreciable shift in the fire season during the last 14years, and that statistically significant positive and negative trends are only found when data are aggregated at smaller scales.

    Abstract In the present paper we propose a continuous cell population model based on Shackney's idea of growth retardation. Cells are characterized by two state variables: the cell maturity x, 0 < or = x < or = 1, and a state variable T that identifies the rate of maturation along cell cycle. During their life span, cells can change T at random by jump transitions to T values corresponding to slower maturation rates, while at each jump the maturity x is conserved. Both the time evolution of the population and the exponential stationary solution are numerically computed. The distribution of the cell cycle transit time in asynchronous exponential growth is investigated by Monte Carlo simulation. An approximated formula for the distribution of cell cycle time is also provided.
