Discrete stage-structured prey and prey-predator models are considered. Regarding the former, we prove that the models at hand are permanent (i.e., the population will neither go extinct nor exhibit explosive oscillations) and, moreover, that the transfer from stability to nonstationary behaviour always goes through a supercritical Neimark−Sacker bifurcation.The prey model covers species that ...

The impact of the EU (European Union) Generalized System of Preference (GSP) on the relative EU’s demand for seafood quality was evaluated in the study. We first explored the theoretical Alchian–Allen result of change in ad valorem tariffs in an n–good world, and then tested this result in the empirical study. The theoretical analysis suggests that whether a reduced ad valorem tariff in an n–good ...

A simulation model that supports the planning of an offshore emergency response system is presented. This model is based on official guidelines for offshore preparedness and can be used to evaluate different designs of an emergency system in respect to quantity, performance and location of Search-and-Rescue helicopters by modeling the coverage of the area under consideration. The model is ...
