Publications / DEBkiss applications

Explanation


The papers here are organised by year of publication. Each paper gets a few keys to facilitate searching by topic. Each paper has a DigitalObject Identifier (DOI), that uniquely identifies it on the internet. Clicking the link provides the abstract, and also the PDF if you have access rights to that journal. Inclusion of a paper in this list does not mean an endorsement or a quality mark of any kind.

Note: since January 2024, I no longer have access to pay-walled journal papers. Therefore, I cannot check for all new papers whether they belong in the list. The papers that I did not check will be indicated with text in parentheses at the end of the reference. I will do my best, and please send me an email if I am incorrect!

Requirements to be included


My initial plan was to collect here all applications of the DEBkiss framework. However, I soon realised that that would be too narrow: there are just too many very-closely-related models that should be of interest in this context. I will now include all kappa-models without an initial reserve compartment, so models where the assimilation flux is split immediately into a somatic and a maturation/reproduction flux. I will be including PhD theses and work that is submitted and in advanced preparation (as far as I know about them). Papers that deal with toxicants will also be included in the DEBtox list.

I start with a list of papers that appeared before DEBkiss, which apply (variations on) the Kooijman-Metz model (which is very similar to DEBkiss). The graph also includes these papers that appeared pre-DEBkiss.



Essential reading


Download of accepted versions


On this page, I will try to include downloadable PDF versions of my papers. This will be my version of the paper; the last submitted version that was accepted (post peer review, but pre formatting by the journal). I will only offer that version for download below when the publisher/journal allows this, and adding the license information as prescribed by the publisher/journal. Furthermore, I am only offering downloads for papers on which I am the first author. It may take some time before papers are added ... Note that there may be (small) differences with the published version. Also note that the affiliations and contact information of authors may well have changed in the meantime.
