Half-normal plots and overdispersed models in r: the hnp package
(Foundation for Open Access Statistic, 2017-01-01)Count and proportion data may present overdispersion, i.e., greater variability than expected by the Poisson and binomial models, respectively. Different extended generalized linear models that allow for overdispersion may ... -
Harmful algal blooms in fjords, coastal embayments, and stratified systems: recent progress and future research
(The Oceanography Society, 2017-03-01)Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are natural phenomena that result from the interplay of biological, chemical, physical, and sedimentary processes occurring at different temporal and spatial scales. This paper provides an ... -
Harnessing hierarchical nano- and micro-fabrication technologies for musculoskeletal tissue engineering
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2015-11-01)Cells within a tissue are able to perceive, interpret and respond to the biophysical, biomechanical, and biochemical properties of the 3D extracellular matrix environment in which they reside. Such stimuli regulate cell ... -
Health of farmed fish: its relation to fish welfare and its utility as welfare indicator
(Springer Nature, 2011-06-18)This brief review focuses on health and biological function as cornerstones of fish welfare. From the function-based point of view, good welfare is reflected in the ability of the animal to cope with infectious and ... -
