description: The three main cardiac amyloidosis (CA) types have different progression and prognosis. Little is known about the mode of death (MOD) which is commonly attributed to cardiovascular causes in CA. Improving MOD’s knowledge could allow to adapt patient care. This retrospective study describes the MOD that occurred during long-term follow-up in CA patients in light-chain (AL), transthyretin hereditary (ATTRv) or wild-type (ATTRwt). Patients referred to and cared for, at the French referral centre for CA, Henri Mondor Hospital, Créteil between 2010 and 2016 were included. Clinical information surrounding patient deaths were investigated and centrally evaluated by two blinded clinical committees which classified MOD as cardiovascular, non-cardiovascular or unknown and sub-classified it depending on its subtype. From the 566 patients included, 187 had AL, 206 ATTRv and 173 ATTRwt. During the 864 patient-year follow-up, 160 (28%) deaths occurred, with median survival time of 17.3 months (interquartile range 5.1–35.4). The most frequent MOD was cardiovascular (64%) of which worsening heart failure occurred most frequently and for which, 69% were of AL subtype, 79% ATTRv and 76% ATTRwt. Sudden death also occurred more frequently in AL subtype accounting for 29% of AL deaths. Non-cardiovascular MOD occurred in 26% of patients overall. Among these, infection was the most common non-cardiovascular MOD in any type of CA (80%). Mortality is high during natural course of CA and differs between subtypes. The main MOD were worsening heart failure, sudden death and infection, opening room to optimise management.

description: We present the detection of neutral helium at 10833A in the atmosphere of WASP-52b and tentative evidence of helium in the atmosphere of the grazing WASP-177b, using high-resolution observations acquired with the NIRSPEC instrument on the Keck II telescope. We detect excess absorption by helium in WASP-52b's atmosphere of $3.44 \pm 0.31$% ($11σ$), or equivalently $66 \pm 5$ atmospheric scale heights. This absorption is centered on the planet's rest frame ($Δv = 0.00 \pm 1.19$km s$^{-1}$). We model the planet's escape using a 1D Parker wind model and calculate its mass-loss rate to be $\sim 1.4 \times 10^{11}$g s$^{-1}$, or equivalently 0.5% of its mass per Gyr. For WASP-177b, we see evidence for red-shifted ($Δv = 6.02 +/- 1.88$km s$^{-1}$) helium-like absorption of $1.28 \pm 0.29$% (equal to $23 \pm 5$ atmospheric scale heights). However, due to residual systematics in the transmission spectrum of similar amplitude, we do not interpret this as significant evidence for He absorption in the planet's atmosphere. Using a 1D Parker wind model, we set a $3σ$ upper limit on WASP-177b's escape rate of $7.9 \times 10^{10}$ g s$^{-1}$. Our results, taken together with recent literature detections, suggest the tentative relation between XUV irradiation and He I absorption amplitude may be shallower than previously suggested. Our results highlight how metastable helium can advance our understanding of atmospheric loss and its role in shaping the exoplanet population.

title: Adaptation of avian-origin influenza virus to the horse
Creators: name: Amat, Julien André Roger
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow

description: The mechanisms and consequences of evolution on viral fitness following interspecies transmission and long-term adaptation are poorly understood. Influenza A viruses (IAVs) circulate among wild birds and have been linked to the emergence of viruses of humans, pigs, dogs, and horses. Since the mid 1950s, equine influenza viruses (EIVs) have emerged in Europe (H7N7, in 1956), America (H3N8, in 1963) and Asia (H3N8, in 1989). All EIVs are thought to have originated in birds, and only the H3N8 EIV lineage that emerged in 1963 circulates today. I used EIVs to study changes in viral fitness following host shifts. To this end, I compared the in vitro and ex vivo infection phenotypes of A/equine/Lexington/1/1966 (EIV/66), a representative of the extinct H7N7 EIV lineage; A/equine/Jilin/1/1989 (EIV/89), also extinct; and two viruses of the currently circulating H3N8 EIV lineage: A/equine/Uruguay/1/1963 (EIV/63) and its descendant A/equine/Ohio/1/2003 (EIV/2003). I also studied A/ruddy shelduck/Mongolia/963v/2009 (AIV/2009), an avian influenza virus phylogenetically related to EIV/89. The results obtained showed that while each virus displayed a unique infection phenotype, EIV/2003 exhibited the highest overall fitness, consistent with the long-term circulation of this lineage among horses. Traits associated with increased fitness included enhanced viral replication, efficient cell-to-cell spread in cells and tissues, and resistance to interferon. Notably, transcriptomics revealed important differences among EIVs in terms of intracellular pathways affecting host immunity, inflammation, and cellular transcription. This study showed that within-host fitness is determined by the interplay between virus-host interactions and evolution. In turn, within-host fitness will likely impact long-term adaptation of IAV to mammals.

description: We examine the far-IR properties of a sample of 5391 optically selected QSOs in the 0.544.7, using SPIRE data from Herschel-ATLAS. We split the sample in a grid of 74 luminosity-redshift bins and compute the average optical-infrared spectral energy distribution (SED) in each bin. By normalising an intrinsic AGN template to the AGN optical power (at 5100A) we decompose the total infrared emission (L_IR; 8-1000um) into an AGN (L_IR,AGN) and star-forming component (L_IR,SF). We find that the AGN contribution to L_IR increases as a function of AGN power which manifests as a reduction of the `far-IR bump' in the average QSO SEDs. We note that L_IR,SF does not correlate with AGN power; the mean star formation rates (SFRs) of AGN host galaxies are a function of redshift only and they range from ~6 Msun/yr at z~0 to a plateau of <200 Msun/yr at z~2.6. Our results indicate that the accuracy of far-IR emission as a proxy for SFR decreases with increasing AGN luminosity. We show that, at any given redshift, observed trends between infrared luminosity (whether monochromatic or total) and AGN power (in the optical or X-rays) can be explained by a simple model which is the sum of two components: (A) the infrared emission from star-formation, uncorrelated with AGN power and (B) the infrared emission from AGN, directly proportional to AGN power in the optical or X-rays.

description: In 2003 the Washington State Department of Ecology adopted new criteria defining a design storm and expected BMP removal performance. Ecology also formed a Technical Review Committee (TRC) to establish a protocol for evaluating BMPs, which became known as the \342\200\234Technology Acceptance Protocol\342\200\224Ecology\342\200\235 (TAPE). To gain approval a manufacturer prepares an application including a technology description, maintenance and cost information, laboratory and field data. Based on this application the TRC gives a designation. Technologies receiving Pilot Level Designation (PLD) or Conditional Use Designation (CUD) must implement a study to gain the General Use Level Designation (GULD). The study is designed according to the TAPE including a Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) and the selection of a project evaluator who assures data integrity. In 2002, the StormFilter gained the CUD. A QAPP was then developed and implemented in early 2003. In June 2004 sampling was competed and final reports were submitted to Ecology. The results showed statistically significant reduction of TSS to a mean effluent concentration of 19 mg/l for influent concentrations less than 100 mg/l and an 80% or greater removal of TSS for influent concentrations greater than 100 mg/l. GULD for the StormFilter was granted in January 2005.

description: In vitro and in vivo studies were conducted to examine the effect of silkworm pupae oil on methane (CH4) emission and methanogens diversity. Five graded levels (2, 4, 6, 8 and 10%) of silkworm pupae oil were tested in vitro. Eighteen Mandya adult sheep were divided into three groups. All the animals were fed on similar basal diet except the oil supplementation in test groups. Oil level for supplementation was decided on the basis of in vitro study. In vitro study indicated a reduction of 22% in CH4 production with 2% oil supplementation. Animals in test groups were supplemented with oil (2%) either daily (CON) or intermittently (INT) on every alternate week for all the seven days. A significant reduction of 17–20% in enteric CH4 emission (g/d) was achieved due to oil supplementation in sheep. However, No variation was established between test groups CON and INT. In present study, Methanobrevibacter was major genus contributed ∼90% of the total rumen methanogens; whilst Methanobrevibacter gottschalkii was the most abundant methanogens species. Abundance of Methanobrevibacter ruminantium was affected with the oil supplementation. It can be concluded that the silkworm pupae oil at 2% can decrease CH4 emission by 15–20%.

description: Deposits build up in sewer networks during both dry-weather and storm-water events. Especially in combined sewers, the sediment materials cause various undesirable effects. Flushing devices are able to remove deposits in sewers by generating flushing waves. To optimize the flushing with so called Storage-Volume-Activated-Devices (SVAD) numerical studies were carried out. The objective was to investigate the behaviour of the activated storage-volume of flushing waves on cleaning performance.

description: This article describes a system for analyzing acoustic data to assist in the diagnosis and classification of children's speech sound disorders (SSDs) using a computer. The analysis concentrated on identifying and categorizing four distinct types of Chinese SSDs. The study collected and generated a speech corpus containing 2540 stopping, backing, final consonant deletion process (FCDP), and affrication samples from 90 children aged 3--6 years with normal or pathological articulatory features. Each recording was accompanied by a detailed diagnostic annotation by two speech-language pathologists (SLPs). Classification of the speech samples was accomplished using three well-established neural network models for image classification. The feature maps were created using three sets of Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC) parameters extracted from speech sounds and aggregated into a three-dimensional data structure as model input. We employed six techniques for data augmentation to augment the available dataset while avoiding overfitting. The experiments examine the usability of four different categories of Chinese phrases and characters. Experiments with different data subsets demonstrate the system's ability to accurately detect the analyzed pronunciation disorders. The best multi-class classification using a single Chinese phrase achieves an accuracy of 74.4~percent.

description: Local chicken populations are a major source of food in the rural areas of Algeria. However, their origin has not been well characterized. The objectives of this study were to assess genetic diversity and maternal origin of domestic chicken from five agro-ecological regions of western Algeria: coastal (CT), inland plains (IP), highlands (HL), mountains (MT) and sahara (SH, including Oasis, Req and Erg regions). A set of 88 mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) D-loop sequences including the hypervariable region I (HV1) were analyzed. From the 397 bp D-loop sequence, 20 variable sites that defined 13 haplotypes were identified in Algerian domestic chicken. The haplotype and nucleotide diversity were estimated as 0.597 and 0.003, respectively. Phylogenetic and network analyses indicated the presence of two clades or haplogroups (A and E). Only one clade A haplotype was observed exclusively in the population of mountains, while, Clade E haplotypes were found in almost all Algerian chicken with twelve different haplotypes. These findings suggest that Algerian chickens derived from the most ubiquitous haplogroup which have its root in the Indian subcontinent. Our results provide important information about the origin of the North-West African chicken and the historical dispersal of the first chicken populations into African continent.

description: ABSTRACT To improve the living environment and water quality of public bodies of water, and to reduce public works expenditures in cold regions, a snow removal project is proposed. In this project, snow is melted by utilizing the already-installed sewage facilities, and the facilities designated by the \342\200\234combined sewer system improvement plan," using the heat that wastewater contains. Possible effects which can be expected by accelerating snow melting, such as alleviating the severe living conditions in winter and revitalizing the hollowed urban area, are also discussed. The quantitative evaluations of the findings of the experiments conducted in Sakata and other cities show advantageous effects, including a reduction of suspended solids (SS) in effluents flowing into public bodies of water, lower municipal costs for snow removal, and reduced snow removal workload. These results attest to the effectiveness of utilizing the sewage system to improve urban environments during the snow season.

description: We report the near-infrared radial-velocity (RV) discovery of a super-Earth planet on a 10.77-day orbit around the M4.5 dwarf Ross 508 ($J_\mathrm{mag}=9.1$). Using precision RVs from the Subaru Telescope IRD (InfraRed Doppler) instrument, we derive a semi-amplitude of $3.92^{+0.60}_{-0.58}$ ${\rm m\,s}^{-1}$, corresponding to a planet with a minimum mass $m \sin i = 4.00^{+0.53}_{-0.55}\ M_{\oplus}$. We find no evidence of significant signals at the detected period in spectroscopic stellar activity indicators or MEarth photometry. The planet, Ross 508 b, has a semimajor-axis of $0.05366^{+0.00056}_{-0.00049}$ au. This gives an orbit-averaged insolation of $\approx$1.4 times the Earth's value, placing Ross 508 b near the inner edge of its star's habitable zone. We have explored the possibility that the planet has a high eccentricity and its host is accompanied by an additional unconfirmed companion on a wide orbit. Our discovery demonstrates that the near-infrared RV search can play a crucial role to find a low-mass planet around cool M dwarfs like Ross 508.

description: The purpose of this work was to perform a technical and environmental analysis of methanol production from solid recovered fuel (SRF) and lignite feedstocks. The main driver was to ensure that while pursuing the dual goal of improving security of supply within the EU and reducing carbon dioxide emissions from the power and transport sector, other environmental issues were not engineered into the system, and to provide recommendations to improve the process sustainability.
 The technical analysis was carried out using the inhouse ECLIPSE software and SimaPro was used for the environmental assessment. Data for the modelling was supplied by project partners, supply companies, databases, and literature where necessary.
 The results showed that increased SRF in the feedstock mix, decreased the environmental impact of methanol production, however, the environmental impact was greater than the natural gas reformer used for benchmarking. The sensitivity study considered off-gas thermal recovery and carbon capture, which for the 80% SRF, the impact was less than the natural gas reformer.
 It was concluded that SRF mixed with lignite to produce methanol could achieve the dual goal, providing off-gas recovery and carbon capture was employed. Other recommendations include considering onsite renewable electricity generation for process electricity.

description: Marbling score (MS), is an economically important trait in cattle. Previous results showed that a SNP (c.*188G > A) of akirin 2 (AKIRIN2) gene was associated with MS in Japanese Black cattle and Korean cattle. However, the distribution of the genotypic frequency of the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) has not been explored in Chinese cattle. In this study, we used polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DNA sequencing to detect the variation in 1296 individuals from 39 Chinese cattle breeds, one semi-wild bovine species (Dulong) and three introduced breeds (Angus, Holstein and Brahman). Our study found the frequency of the A allele at this locus roughly diminished from north to south in Chinese cattle, and we detected statistically significant differences between Angus and Brahman (p < 0.05), Dulong and another two breeds (Angus and Holstein; p < 0.01) using Chi-Square Independence Test. Our results reflected the variation of AKIRIN2: c.*188G > A in Chinese cattle, which would help us better understand Chinese cattle genetic resources and provide reference for further research.

description: The slogan "nobody is safe until everybody is safe" is a dictum to raise awareness that in an interconnected world, pandemics such as COVID-19, require a global approach. Motivated by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we model here the spread of a virus in interconnected communities and explore different vaccination scenarios, assuming that the efficacy of the vaccination wanes over time. We start with susceptible populations and consider a susceptible-vaccinated-infected-recovered model with unvaccinated ("Bronze"), moderately vaccinated ("Silver") and very well vaccinated ("Gold") communities, connected through different types of networks via a diffusive linear coupling for local spreading. We show that when considering interactions in "Bronze"-"Gold" and "Bronze"-"Silver" communities, the "Bronze" community is driving an increase in infections in the "Silver" and "Gold" communities. This shows a detrimental, unidirectional effect of non-vaccinated to vaccinated communities. Regarding the interactions between "Gold", "Silver" and "Bronze" communities in a network, we find that two factors play central role: the coupling strength in the dynamics and network density. When considering the spread of a virus in Barabási-Albert networks, infections in "Silver" and "Gold" communities are lower than in "Bronze" communities. We find that the "Gold" communities are the best in keeping their infection levels low. However, a small number of "Bronze" communities are enough to give rise to an increase in infections in moderately and well-vaccinated communities. When studying the spread of a virus in a dense Erdős-Rényi, and sparse Watts-Strogatz and Barabási-Albert networks, the communities reach the disease-free state in the dense Erdős-Rényi networks, but not in the sparse Watts-Strogatz and Barabási-Albert networks. However, we also find that if all these networks...

description: Since 1958 when Australian Rainfall and Runoff was first released it has remained one of the most influential and widely used guidelines published by Engineers Australia. The current edition, initially published in 1987 and in a split book form in 1998, has received widespread Australian and international acclaim. The issues of environment sustainability and water conservation are increasingly requiring the application of updated or new engineering hydrology techniques. Consequently a new updated and revised edition of Australian Rainfall and Runoff is under preparation. The evolution of Australian Rainfall & Runoff is overviewed and the current on-going review is discussed. The inclusion of new information on the hydrology of rainfall and runoff for water quality investigations in both urban and rural areas, the use of catchment simulation techniques, the integration of hydrologic and hydraulic models, and hydrological aspects of integrated water management within urban areas is overviewed. It is concluded that the current review of Australian Rainfall & Runoff demonstrates the commitment the NCWE and the many authors to maintaining it as the pre-eminent guideline for hydrology and hydraulics in Australia into the 21st century. It also provides a model for other countries who are preparing national guidelines for hydrological and hydraulic practices.

description: We analyze Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations of Ganymede made with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) between 1998 and 2017 to generate a brightness map of Ganymede's oxygen emission at 1356 A. Our Mercator projected map demonstrates that the brightness along Ganymede's northern and southern auroral ovals strongly varies with longitude. To quantify this variation around Ganymede, we investigate the brightness averaged over 36$^{\circ}$-wide longitude corridors centered around the sub-Jovian (0$^{\circ}$ W), leading (90$^{\circ}$ W), anti-Jovian (180$^{\circ}$ W), and trailing (270$^{\circ}$ W) central longitudes. In the northern hemisphere, the brightness of the auroral oval is 3.7 $\pm$ 0.4 times lower in the sub-Jovian and anti-Jovian corridors compared to the trailing and leading corridors. The southern oval is overall brighter than the northern oval, and only 2.5 $\pm$ 0.2 times fainter on the sub- and anti-Jovian corridors compared to the trailing and leading corridors. This demonstrates that Ganymede's auroral ovals are strongly structured in auroral crescents on the leading side (plasma downstream side) and on the trailing side (plasma upstream side). We also find that the brightness is not symmetric with respect to the 270$^\circ$ meridian, but shifted by $\sim$20$^\circ$ towards the Jovian-facing hemisphere. Our map will be useful for subsequent studies to understand the processes that generate the aurora in Ganymede's non-rotationally driven, sub-Alfvénic magnetosphere.

description: The release of a revised NSW Floodplain Management Manual in 2001 established a new direction for urban flood management in NSW by redefining the floodplain as the area bounded by the PMF and the removal of the distinction between \342\200\234mainstream flooding\342\200\235 and \342\200\234local flooding\342\200\235. This new direction and the increasing availability of aerial laser scanning have ramifications for urban flood studies. The trend in NSW and elsewhere has been for the growing adoption of 2D models as the new benchmark for urban flood studies. To enhance its capability to model urban drainage systems the TUFLOW 2D hydrodynamic model is being incorporated as a layer into an XP-SWMM2D package. Two case studies that demonstrate the new 1D/2D modeling capability of TUFLOW and XP-SWMM2D are described. The first case study is of a reach of Prospect Creek in the City of Fairfield. A 2D and a combined 1D/2D models of the floodplain were assembled and run. A comparison of 1D, 1D/2D and 2D results is given. The second case study is of a local drainage subcatchment that demonstrates the interaction between the piped drainage system and 2D surface overland flows. It is concluded that the 2D hydrodynamic modeling layer in the XP-SWMM package offers users new opportunities to undertake more detailed investigations of urban drainage systems and of urban waterways and floodplains. It also demonstrates the on-going evolution of the XP-SWMM package in response to the changing needs of stormwater managers.
Modelling of two-phase flow in porous media including non-equilibrium capillary pressure effects

description: Two-phase flow models commonly use equilibrium capillary-pressure relations.
However, in core-flow experiments the time needed to reach capillary equilibrium is
already in the order of days. Some recently developed theories [1],[2] account for
non-equilibrium capillary pressure at the (upscaled) macro-scale, by proposing that
capillary pressure is a function of saturation rate.  There is plenty of
experimental evidence on the significance of non-equilibrium effects in unsaturated
media. However, there are very few experiments dealing with two-phase flow.
Recently we have carried out a number of two-phase flow experiments consisting both
drainage and imbibition in a small column set-up. The experimental data clearly
indicates the existence of a local non-equilibrium effect.
In this study, we investigated the necessity to account for non-equilibrium
capillary pressure effects at the local scale. Moreover, we tried to obtain
qualitative agreement between our experimental data and the non-equilibrium model
proposed by [2]. We first developed a numerical code in which we simultaneously
solve for the wetting phase saturation, wetting phase pressure and non-wetting
phase pressure by solving the wetting phase mass balances and the non-equilibrium
capillary pressure relation. Next the numerical model is compared to the data of
the non-equilibrium two-phase capillary pressure experiments. Qualitative agreement
between the numerical model and the physical experiments is obtained, which appears
not to be possible without the addition of the local non-equilibrium capillary
pressure term.

Three Saite-period shabtis of Wedjat-Hor, son of Ashsedjemes, with some idiosyncratic features

description: This report describes for the first time the surviving (upper) portions of three 26th-Dynasty shabtis made for Wedjat-Hor, son of Ashsedjemes. Shabtis A and C are clearly from the same mould and inscribed by the same scribe; shabti B is the product of a different mould and scribe. Some orthographic idiosyncrasies are shared, whereas others are specific to each scribe. Ashsedjemes ("He who calls, she will hear") is an uncommon female name of the Late Period known from a 27th-Dynasty demotic marriage contract. On shabtis A and C, her title "Mistress of the House" comes perilously close to being downgraded to "Mistress of the Shelter/Yard," while shabti B inflicts an even greater indignity by miswriting her name as Sedjemash, "Servant." An unusual insertion after the mother's name, found on all three shabtis, is discussed. The shabti spell is substantially abridged and omits the central bloc of the canonical (i.e., Schneider VIIA) clause sequence. To compensate for the lack of a Summons clause, a novel change is made to the grammar of the Duty clause. Wedjat-Hor's name features three times in the short inscription, more often than is usual even in the full-length shabti spell.
Faraday conversion in pair-symmetric winds of magnetars and Fast Radio Bursts

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: We consider propagation of polarization in the inner parts of pair-symmetric magnetar winds, close to the light cylinder. Pair plasmas in magnetic field is birefringent, a $\propto B^2$ effect. As a result, such plasmas work as phase retarders: Stokes parameters follow a circular trajectory on the Poincare sphere. In the highly magnetized regime, $ω, \, ω_p \ll ω_B$, the corresponding rotation rates are independent of the magnetic field. A plasma screen with dispersion measure DM $\sim 10^{-6}$ pc cm$^{-3}$ can induce large polarization changes, including large effective Rotation Measure (RM). The frequency scaling of the (generalized) RM, $ \propto λ^α$, mimics the conventional RM with $α=2$ for small phase shifts, but can be as small as $α=1$. In interpreting observations the frequency scaling of polarization parameters should be fitted independently. The model offers explanations for (i) large circular polarization component observed in FRBs, with right-left switching; (ii) large RM, with possible sign changes; (iii) time-depend variable polarization. Relatively dense and slow wind is needed - the corresponding effect in regular pulsars is small.

Growth rates and morphology of street trees: an analysis of different site types of urban areas in New Jersey
Creators: name: Leopold, Richard Wayne
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2022

description: As the population of New Jersey continues to grow and more areas are classified as developed or urban areas, more people will be affected by the consequences of living in an urban environment. These consequences include but are not limited to increased heat stress, greater water regimes, and air pollution. The inclusion of green spaces, particularly those which include trees, have been shown to help mitigate these negative consequences. These are called ecosystem services. Three common growing sites, lawns, strips, and pits have been identified within the urban context. My research focuses on street trees and the roles they play in managing ecosystem services over time based on the growing site. In Chapter 1, I established the maximum service age of 9 species based on site type and established the growth rate of the diameter at breast height (DBH). In this chapter I found that maximum service life did vary between site types of the same species. Using the Chapman-Richards growth model I established the growth rate of both basal area and DBH based on species and site type. Chapter 2 analyses the allometric relationship between crown volume and DBH of 10 species based on site type. By using photography and scaling software I estimated crown volumes. By implementing model selection, I chose a quadratic model to assess the relationship between the two variables. I found crown volume to vary between the site types and estimated the parameters for the proposed model. In chapter 3 I assessed the relationship between DBH with leaf area index (LAI) and total leaf area. In this chapter I measured DBH, estimated LAI with a LAI2200C, and calculated total leaf area based on ground area and LAI. Following model selection I estimated the parameters of the ln-ln model. LAI was found to differ between the site types. In chapter 4 I converted the previous models from chapters 2 and 3 to calculate crown volume, LAI, and total leaf area based on age rather than DBH, by substituting for the Chapman-Richards growth model and the estimated parameters. These conversions were then used to estimate ecosystem services at a given age rather than morphological size and models to project ecosystem service over time were generated.
