	hern_warren_population
		The origin of agriculture in the Middle East was accompanied by large increases in population, and the elaboration of culture permitted the increasingly intensive exploitation of the environment (Hassan 1981).
		Third, the belief that population must stabilize in the imaginable range of 11-12 billion because other larger projections seem improbable or incredible is similar to beliefs earlier in the century that the population would stabilize at levels much lower than the current count.
		The fourth component of malignant process, dedifferentiation, is shown by the examples given previously of loss of biological and cultural differentiation at the individual level and loss of aggregate differentiation at the community level.

	Population process - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		In applied probability, a population process is a Markov chain in which the state of the chain is analogous to the number of individuals in a population (0, 1, 2, etc.), and changes to the state are analogous to the addition or removal of individuals from the population.
		Population processes are typically characterised by processes of birth and immigration, and of death, emigration and catastrophe, which correspond to the basic demographic processes and broad environmental effects to which a population is subject.
		However, population processes are also often equivalent to other processes that may typically be characterised under other paradigms (in the literal sense of 'patterns').

		Aging of Population A process in which the proportions of adults and elderly increase in a population, while the proportions of children and adolescents decrease.
		Population Control A broad concept that addresses the relationship between fertility, mortality, and migration, but is most commonly used to refer to efforts to slow population growth through action to lower fertility.
		Population Register A government data collection system in which the demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of all or part of the population are continuously recorded.

		In 1990, the population of the Amarillo MSA was 187,547.
		The 1999 population estimate for the Amarillo MSA is 222,122 as prepared and adopted by the Amarillo Population Technical Committee.
		Population affects the demand for the future development of utilities, transportation, schools, parks, businesses, etc., as well as the amount of land for each land use and activity.

	Population and the Pastoral Economy in Mongolia
		The main purpose of this article is to argue that the population dynamics experienced by the country during the past seven decades have played an important role in limiting the growth of the national herd and the intensification of the livestock economy.
		Therefore, a rapid process of population growth in a nomadic society as a result, for example, of a decline in mortality, results in the formation of a larger number of households, that is, in an increase in the absolute number of productive units.
		On the contrary, a slowdown of population growth is considered as a limitation to the growth of the animal population and, therefore, to the development of the livestock sector.

	Population Level Learning and Industry Change -- Editors' Introduction
		To say that a population level learning outcome has occurred is to say that the distribution of routines (practices and strategies) in a population has shifted between two time periods, as a result of experience somewhere within the population.
		The population level learning perspective predicts the presence of other organizations early in an emerging industry may enhance survival of new firms and industry growth because real discovery of useful knowledge is occurring and advancing through interorganizational learning.
		Learning processes that involve pure behavioral trial and error learning can often be conceptualized as evolutionary processes at a lower level of analysis and can be a matter of taste which metaphor is used.

	MAKING MORAL CONNECTIONS: Population, Environment, And Consumption by Rev. Dr. James A. Nash
		Interpreted this way, the reduction of population growth is an urgent moral demand on all nations, and it is accompanied by an equally urgent moral demand on affluent nations for reduced production/consumption and equitable distribution.
		The process is accentuated by the continuation of population growth (bred partly by underconsumption) which contributed to the pressures of overexploitation in the first place.
		Indeed, population stabilization needs to be part of strategies for socioeconomic justice, since socioeconomic conditions seem to be prime factors affecting fertility rates, with improvements in the quality of life associated with reductions in the rates and numbers of births.

	Process vs. Sampling Variation
		Process variation is used as a general term for the inherent stochasticity of changes in the population level.
		Process variation is in contrast to €sampling variation€, which is the variation contributed when biologists attempt to measure population processes.
		Even if the fate of every animal in the population is observed, the resulting estimate of survival is only an estimate of the true, but unknown, population survival rate.

	Population process -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Although named by analogy to (Click link for more info and facts about biological) biological populations, population processes find application in a much wider range of fields than just (The branch of biology concerned with the relations between organisms and their environment) ecology and other biological sciences.
		However, population processes are also often equivalent to other processes that may typically be characterised under other (The generally accepted perspective of a particular discipline at a given time) paradigms (in the literal sense of 'patterns').
		(A line of people or vehicles waiting for something) Queues, for example, are often characterised by an arrivals process, a service process, and the number of servers.

	News & Features: (Abstract) Intron evolution as a population-genetic process
		Topic: (Abstract) Intron evolution as a population-genetic process
		Abstract: Debate over the mechanisms responsible for the phylogenetic and genomic distribution of introns has proceeded largely without consideration of the population-genetic forces influencing the establishment and retention of novel genetic elements.
		This study provides a second example of a mechanism whereby genomic complexity originates passively as "pathological" response to small population size, and raises difficulties for the idea that ancient introns played a major role in the origin of genes by exon shuffling.

	Statistical Process Control (SPC) Study Guide
		For the population distribution, we use Greek letter (mu) to designate the population mean, and Greek letter (sigma) to designate the population standard deviation.
		Processes where sample means have a tendency to drift or trend to either control limit may also be out of control.
		Using the problem data, whether it is the sample or the population, we need to use the appropriate formulae to estimate the sample mean's parameters, namely the mean and standard deviation.

	Chapter 2: Plant Population Biology and the Invasion Process
		This rate of spread is similliar to the population growth rate of an organism in an ideal, resource limitless environment and is therefore believed to be more a function of intrinsic biological characteristics of the species than of its growing environment.
		For this reason, the colonization process by an invasive species is sometime refered to as its intrinsic rate of increase, and is thought to depend more on biological factos than environmental ones.
		Populations of invasive plant species also expand by satellite populations that are often isolated from their source.

	Interesting Facts about Population Growth Mathematical Models (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		The mathematical model based on this idea is that the population size for one generation depends on the size of the previous generation, and it is a multiple.
		This means that the population is now a function of the current population, the population the year before, the year before that, etc. Please note that f implies a generic function and it is different in equation (4) and (5).
		Since humans tend not to limit their population size voluntarily, population reduction tends to be accomplished through the "positive" checks of famine, disease, poverty and war.

	U.S. Senate: Legislation & Records Home > Legislative Process > Senate Legislative Process
		In the end, the Framers reached an agreement: House seats would be apportioned among the states based on population and Representatives would be directly elected by the people; the Senate would be composed of two Senators per state-regardless of size or population-indirectly elected by the state legislature.
		Further, because each Senator has an equal vote regardless of his or her state's population, the Senate remains a oddly apportioned institution: Senators from the twenty-six smallest states, who (according to the 2000 census) represent 17.8% of the nation's population, constitute a majority of the Senate—a reality which has aroused little public interest or concern.
		At any stage of this process a chamber may accept the position of the other body, insist on its most recent position, request a conference to resolve the remaining differences, or refuse to take further action and allow the measure to die.

		It is important to keep in mind that X-bar is obtained from the Xi drawn from the process for the n observations in the sample and that X-bar is therefore itself a random variable.
		That is, the variance of the sample mean is equal to the variance of the process random variable divided by the number of observations in the sample.
		The population mean is a fixed characteristic of a population (fixed across samples) where a sample mean is a random variable that varies across samples.

		Process evaluation should begin as soon as the program is put into action and continue throughout the life of the program.
		But the target population for process evaluation is the number of people with whom the program actually interacted, not the number of people with whom the program planned to interact.
		In each instance, you would be interested in the number of members of the target population who were reached, the number of materials or services delivered, the way in which the services or materials were delivered, and what members of the target population might have been missed.

	SAMPLING FROM A SIMULATED POPULATION OR PROCESS: RIGOUR AND TRANSPARENCY WITHOUT PROBABILITY THEORY
		The obvious way to do this is to assume that the whole population comprises a large number of similar samples: in other words we create, say, 10 000 copies of the sample to represent the population.
		The resulting simulated population then comprises 40 000 zeros (because there are four zeros in the original sample), 40 000 ones, 10 000 twos, 10 000 threes, 10 000 fours and 10 000 fives.
		The simulated population has no values outside 0 and 5: if this is perceived as a problem, the simulated population could be adjusted (on an ad hoc basis) to introduce such extremes, and the effect on the simulation investigated.
