Methods for detecting heat stress in hutch-housed dairy calves in a continental climate

Journal of Dairy Science, 2023
: Dairy calves exposed to solar radiation, elevated ambient temperature, and humidity are at risk of impaired welfare and productivity. Initial detection of thermal discomfort requires determination of optimal heat stress indicators and thresholds.

Adding a reward increases the reinforcing value of fruit [PDF]

, 2017
Adolescents' snack choices could be altered by increasing the reinforcing value (RV) of healthy snacks compared with unhealthy snacks. This study assessed whether the RV of fruit increased by linking it to a reward and if this increased RV was comparable

Location of Tandem Repeats on Wheat Chromosome 5B and the Breakpoint on the 5BS Arm in Wheat Translocation T7BS.7BL-5BS Using Single-Copy FISH Analysis

Plants, 2022
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is rich in tandem repeats, and this is helpful in studying its karyotypic evolution. Some tandem repeats have not been assembled into the wheat genome sequence.

Median inverse problem and approximating the number of $k$-median inverses of a permutation

, 2011
We introduce the "Median Inverse Problem" for metric spaces. In particular, having a permutation $\pi$ in the symmetric group $S_n$ (endowed with the breakpoint distance), we study the set of all $k$-subsets $\{x_1,...,x_k\}\subset S_n$ for which $\pi ...

TIGRA: A targeted iterative graph routing assembler for breakpoint assembly

Genome Research, 2014
Recent progress in next-generation sequencing has greatly facilitated our study of genomic structural variation. Unlike single nucleotide variants and small indels, many structural variants have not been completely characterized at nucleotide resolution.
