Do Men and Women Have the Same Average Number of Lifetime Partners?
ARTZROUNI, MARC; DEUCHERT, EVA - In: Mathematical Population Studies 17 (2010) 4, pp. 242-256
It is generally thought that for sake of consistency men and women must have the same average number of lifetime partners. However, this is not the case in general. When men have younger partners, women enter sexual relationships more quickly than men and have a higher number of lifetime...

Processes Influencing Groundwater Level and the Freshwater-Saltwater Interface in a Coastal Aquifer
Vallejos, A.; Sola, F.; Pulido-Bosch, A. - In: Water Resources Management 29 (2015) 3, pp. 679-697
Few studies have focused on the relationship between the various causes of groundwater level fluctuations and the seawater intrusion process, due to the complexity of this relationship, being the aim of this paper. Piezometric fluctuations in coastal aquifers are determined by a number of...
