Death and disappearance: Measuring racial disparities in mortality and life expectancy among people in state prisons, United States 2000-2014. by Bryan L Sykes, Ernest K Chavez, Justin D Strong

“…<h4>Methods</h4>Drawing on a novel dataset created and curated, we calculate standard, age- specific quantities (death rates and life-expectancy) using period lifetable methods, disaggregated by race and sex, across three different periods (2000-2004, 2005-2009, and 2010-2014) for each state. …”

A non-autonomous stochastic predator-prey model by Aniello Buonocore, Luigia Caputo, Enrica Pirozzi, Amelia G. Nobile

“…The aim of this paper is to consider a non-autonomous predator-prey-like system, with a Gompertz growth law for the prey.By introducing random variations in both prey birth and predator death rates,a stochastic model for the predator-prey-like system in a random environment is proposed and investigated.The corresponding Fokker-Planck equation is solved to obtain the joint probability density for the prey and predator populations and the marginal probability densities.The asymptotic behavior of the predator-prey stochastic model is also analyzed.…”
