This would have the most immediate impact on climate change, the most immediate impact on poverty, could lower population rates by engaging those communities in education, and could change poverty into prosperity.
This effect was evident when we computed population firing rates and compared them to the duration of the corresponding cycle: cycles corresponding to less synchronized epochs, with lower population rates, were shorter than cycles corresponding to more synchronized epochs, with higher population rates (Supplementary Fig. S8B).
High ( overline{{M_{h} }} ) and high GDP per capita together could lead to lower affected population rate, but they may not lead to lower mortality rate such as in the case of Japan.
The negative sign of the intercept indicates that in general this study area had a significantly lower population growth rate after the earthquake than the pre-seismic event rate.
Our expectation, at the outset, was that acquisition rates would be higher in uninfected newborns than in the general childhood population because intraspecies competition among individuals with prevalent carriage would lower population mean rates, compared with rates in the uninfected group [ 27].
A possible exception would be a lower population growth rate in 'other grassland' habitat as a result of a lower adult female survival rate (unpublished data).
Populations suffering from negative effects of poisoning on survival rates but not managed with AFS (scenario 4 Table 2) showed a lower population growth rate and a slightly higher probability of extinction in the time horizon of 50y than its most conservative counterpart (scenario 1: λ = 0.961±0.002, pe(t = 50) = 0; scenario 4: λ = 0.932±0.002, pe(t = 50) = 0.05; Fig. 5).
Simulations of lower population growth rate in the model showed that adult fertility and survival are also of importance.
The projections are based on the assumptions of a lower population growth rate (less than 1%), continuous economic development with high GDP growth, and increased urbanization.
We found that the malaria-resistant A. gambiae mosquitoes have a lower population growth rate than malaria-susceptible mosquitoes (regardless of whether mosquitoes were infected with Plasmodium).
