Count-rate management in 131I SPECT/CT calibration by Staffan Jacobsson Svärd, Cecilia Hindorf, Joachim N. Nilsson

“…However, count losses due to dead time and pulse pileup may cause calibration errors, in particular for 131I, where high count rates may be encountered. Calibration at low count rates should also be avoided to minimise detrimental effects from e.g. background counts and statistical fluctuations. …”

Theoretical Dispute About the Relationship Between Interest and Growth Rates by Überblick

“…Abstract Since the outbreak of the economic and financial crisis, the prolonged phase of low interest rates has been increasingly controversial. The relationship between the interest rate r and the growth rate g plays a central role in this context: some authors derive a justification for a more expansionary fiscal policy at r < g. …”

Colour polymorphism and conspicuousness do not increase speciation rates in Lacertids by de Solan, Thomas, Sinervo, Barry, Geniez, Philippe, David, Patrice, Crochet, Pierre-André

“…Conspicuous body colours and colour polymorphism have been hypothesized to increase rates of speciation. Conspicuous colours are evolutionary labile, and often involved in intraspecific sexual signalling and thus may provide a raw material from which reproductive isolation can easily evolve, while polymorphism could favour rapid evolution of new lineages through morphic speciation. …”
