Theoretical analyses for the evolution of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOC) emission strategy by Sotaro Hirose, Akiko Satake

“…Our model considered two effects of BVOC signaling that impact the fitness of plants: intra‐individual communication, which mitigates herbivore damage through the plant's own BVOC signaling incurring emission costs, and inter‐individual communication, which alters the influence of herbivory based on BVOC signals from other individuals without incurring emission costs. …”

MONITORING OF THE FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE COMPANY by V. E. Gladkova, V. V. Zharikov

“…In this study the methodology of calculation of the breakeven point and its projection of the dynamics of changes in the time lag will allow new businesses to forecast and take into account seasonal fl uctuations in demand for their products.Goals/objectives: the Authors of this publication have set ourselves three main goals: to improve the classical method of determining the breakeven point; to identify the dynamics and patterns of basic mathematical relations that determine the interdependence between the volume of sales (income) and total costs; the possibility of applying this methodology economists in production to implement predict the future costs of production.Methodology: the Authors used the conventional scientifi c approaches and methods to analyse and identify mathematical relationships that take into account the specifi c economic and industry conditions and can be further used as template functions to predict the break-even point at a certain time lag.Results: the study authors derived a mathematical relation of volume of sales and total costs, which allows the maximization of the profi ts of Russian companies [1, 2].Discussion/application (if any): explores options graphs break-even point. …”
