The influence of hyperplasticizer on concrete

open access: yesZaštita Materijala, 2014
The paper presents the possibility of modeling of concrete properties in fresh and/or hardened state by applying hyperplasticizers type admixtures, based on a modified polycarboxyl ether polymer.

The impact of using different ancestral reference populations in assessing crossbred population admixture and influence on performance

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2022
Crossbreeding is a process in which animals from different breeds are mated together. The animals produced will exhibit a combination of both additive and non-additive genetic improvement from parental breeds that increase heterozygosity and negate ...

An Overview of Strategies for Detecting Genotype-Phenotype Associations Across Ancestrally Diverse Populations

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2021
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been very successful at identifying genetic variants influencing a large number of traits. Although the great majority of these studies have been performed in European-descent individuals, it has been ...

A Mix of Old British and Modern European Breeds: Genomic Prediction of Breed Composition of Smallholder Pigs in Uganda

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2021
Pig herds in Africa comprise genotypes ranging from local ecotypes to commercial breeds. Many animals are composites of these two types and the best levels of crossbreeding for particular production systems are largely unknown.

The footprint of recent and strong demographic decline in the genomes of Mangalitza pigs

open access: yesAnimal, 2019
The Mangalitza pig breed has suffered strong population reductions due to competition with more productive cosmopolitan breeds. In the current work, we aimed to investigate the effects of this sustained demographic recession on the genomic diversity of ...

Ethnicity-based classifications and medical genetics: One Health approaches from a Western Pacific perspective

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2022
A new era presently dawns for medical genetics featuring individualised whole genome sequencing and promising personalised medical genetics. Accordingly, we direct readers attention to the continuing value of allele frequency data from Genome-Wide ...

Multiple Origin but Single Domestication Led to Oryza sativa

open access: yesG3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2018
The domestication scenario that led to Asian rice (Oryza sativa) is a contentious topic. Here, we have reanalyzed a previously published large-scale wild and domesticated rice data set, which was also analyzed by two studies but resulted in two ...

Genome-Wide Variation, Candidate Regions and Genes Associated With Fat Deposition and Tail Morphology in Ethiopian Indigenous Sheep

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2019
Variations in body weight and in the distribution of body fat are associated with feed availability, thermoregulation, and energy reserve. Ethiopia is characterized by distinct agro-ecological and human ethnic farmer diversity of ancient origin, which ...
