I am writing to let you know about our upcoming
First Issue of the International open-access e-journal
Population Dynamics: Analysis, Modelling, Forecast.
The deadline for submission is November 04th, 2012.
Manuscripts can be sent to Lev Nedorezov at
l.v.nedorezov@gmail.com
Information and Scope
In various domains of modern science one can find
the similar population processes with similar
regulative mechanisms and with close goals of
scientific investigations. In physics it can be
populations of elementary particles in accelerator.
In chemistry it can be a process of interaction of
sets of molecules.
In biophysics and biochemistry it can be processes
of the growth of colony of cells, processes of
ferment? substratum interaction etc.
The similar processes we have in biology/ecology
(populations of various animals and plants), in
economics, demography, epidemiology, medicine
(cancer growth, human health) and so on.
Moreover, for description and analysis of various
population processes sometimes we use one and the
same mathematical models (stochastic branching
processes, ordinary differential equations, maps,
partial differential equations?).
We have one and the same goals: to determine a
phase space structure and structure of space of
model parameters, to estimate the probability of
population extinction etc. And we have one and the
same common problems: we want to find the best
mathematical apparatus for the description of
population processes, we want to have good methods
for estimation of model parameters using population
time series, we want to have good statistical
criterions for the analysis of deviations between
theory and experiment?
But in modern science we have rather artificial
barriers and these barriers lead to appearance of
non-correct situations.
For example, it is not normal and common event if
you found a paper in biological journal which is
devoted to analysis of population process in physics
of elementary particles. And it can be explained:
if you want to present results in biological journal
you have to explain what kind of biological problem
you want to solve and what kind of biological results
you got in a result of providing analysis.
The inverse situation is obvious too: it is difficult
to find pure biological paper in a journal which is
devoted to physics of elementary particles.
In a result of it we have duplication or
multiplication ofproviding scientific investigations,
multiplication of names for one and the same equations
and models, and, finally, total misunderstanding
between each others.
It is a good example: even in ecology (!) we have
several names for one model of population dynamics
with discrete time? Beverton? Holt model, Skellam
model, Kostitzin model.
The main goal of new scientific open-access e-journal
is following:
To bring together new results on population dynamics
from various parts of modern science for better
understanding between specialists from different
scientific domains.
The journal is concerned with the use of mathematical
models and data analysis for the description of
various population processes. We aim to understand
basic properties of population system functions using
mathematical and conceptual modeling, systems analysis,
computer simulations, and scientific theories. The
journal welcomes research articles, short
communications, review articles.
