Bose-Einstein Condensation in Competitive Processes [PDF]
, 2003 We introduce an irreversible discrete multiplicative process that undergoes Bose-Einstein condensation as a generic model of competition. New players with different abilities successively join the game and compete for limited resources. A player's future

Cross-cultural comparison of genetic and cultural transmission of smoking initiation using an extended twin kinship model [PDF]
, 2018 Background: Considerable evidence from twin and adoption studies indicates that genetic and shared environmental factors play a role in the initiation of smoking behavior.

Theoretical aspects of heterosis
Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2016 The phenomenon of heterosis, known as superior performance of hybrid organism compared with either of their parents, has been exploited by agricultural practices in the production of various crops since the beginning of the last century; however, its ...

Genetics of grain yield and its component traits in maize (Zea mays L.)
Electronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2022 The six essential generations (2 parents, F1, F2 and backcrosses) of the cross NAI-137 × 97B developed from two parents distinguishable for grain yield were evaluated to construe the genetics of grain yield and its component quantitative traits during ...

Statistical Modeling of Epistasis and Linkage Decay using Logic Regression [PDF]
, 2008 Logic regression has been recognized as a tool that can identify and model non-additive genetic interactions using Boolean logic groups. Logic regression, TASSEL-GLM and SAS-GLM were compared for analytical precision using a previously characterized ...

Natural selection. III. Selection versus transmission and the levels of selection [PDF]
, 2011 George Williams defined an evolutionary unit as hereditary information for which the selection bias between competing units dominates the informational decay caused by imperfect transmission.

Science Advances, 2020 Breeding exploits the phenomenon of heterosis for an improved productivity, but negative effects reduce heterosis in wide crosses. The genetics underlying heterosis, the difference in performance of crosses compared with midparents, is hypothesized to ...

The Effects of Population Size Histories on Estimates of Selection Coefficients from Time-Series Genetic Data. [PDF]
, 2016 Many approaches have been developed for inferring selection coefficients from time series data while accounting for genetic drift. These approaches have been motivated by the intuition that properly accounting for the population size history can ...
