(n.) The system of Malthusian doctrines relating to population.
Example Sentences:

(9) Using a relation between these measures and the Malthusian parameter, it is shown that in a random mating population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, and under slow selection, the rate of change of entropy is equal to the genetic variance in entropy minus the genetic covariance of entropy and reproductive potential.
(10) These properties, which are valid for populations of macromolecules, cells and individuals, show that the Malthusian parameter and entropy act as complimentary fitness indices in understanding evolutionary change in populations.

(14) The reproductive potential measures the mean of the contribution of the different age classes to the Malthusian parameter.
(15) Entropy determines population stability: the gain in the Malthusian parameter due to small fluctuations in the life-cycle variables is determined by entropy.
(16) The Malthusian parameter is precisely the difference between the entropy and the reproductive potential.
(17) It is shown that only a population with development rates maximizing the Malthusian function (reaching zero value at the equilibrium state of the system) is able to survive under competition for food resources.
(18) They were dominated by the new Malthusian nightmare, the tussle with malaria, the eradication of smallpox, the improved control of some other serious infections, the struggles for family planning, breast-feeding, immunization, and clean water, among other things, and above all, perhaps, by the decline of the doctor and the rise of the planner and manager.
(19) It is shown that a Malthusian or neo-Malthusian view of the population problem is inevitable if enquiry is founded in empiricism or in normative analytics.
(20) First, the coefficient of variation in population size appears to be inversely related to the Malthusian parameter of population growth.
Survive
Definition:
(v. t.) To live beyond the life or existence of; to live longer than; to outlive; to outlast; as, to survive a person or an event.
(v. i.) To remain alive; to continue to live.

(6) Tests showed the cells survive and function normally in animals and reverse movement problems caused by Parkinson's in monkeys.
(7) The statistical T value calculated for the LP-TAE group showed that the administration of LP, the tumor size, intrahepatic metastasis, portal vein infiltration, and serum total bilirubin and alpha-fetoprotein levels significantly (P < 0.01) affected the patients' survival.
(8) Systemic corticosteroids (i.e., prednisone, prednisolone or methylprednisolone) have improved the survival rate of patients with moderate and severe ulcerative colitis.
(9) The actuarial 5-year disease-free survival rates were 83% (group 1), 83% (group 2), and 100% (group 3).
(10) However, survival was closely related to the severity of the illness at the time of randomization and was not altered by shunting.
(11) We are pursuing legal action because there are still so many unanswered questions about the viability of Shenhua’s proposed koala plan and it seems at this point the plan does not guarantee the survival of the estimated 262 koalas currently living where Shenhua wants to put its mine,” said Ranclaud.
(12) Survival was independent of the type of clinical presentation and protocol employed but was correlated with the stage (P less than 0.0005), symptoms (P less than 0.025), bulky disease (P less than 0.025) and bone marrow involvement (P less than 0.025).
