Factors controlling accuracy of genomic selection in oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) : W528 [PDF]

, 2013
Wong and Bernardo (2008) showed in a simulation study that genomic selection could increase the rate of genetic gain in oil palm (Elaeis guineensis). In order to estimate the accuracy of genomic selection in a real breeding program, we applied a cross ...

A comparison of feedback cues for enhancing pointing efficiency in interaction with spatial audio displays [PDF]

, 2005
An empirical study that compared six different feedback cue types to enhance pointing efficiency in deictic spatial audio displays is presented. Participants were asked to select a sound using a physical pointing gesture, with the help of a loudness cue,

Defining Roles in Pediatric Palliative Care: Perspectives From Oncology and Palliative Care Teams

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Early integration of pediatric palliative care (PPC) is associated with improved symptom management, quality of life, and healthcare utilization for children with cancer. Despite this, variation persists in how PPC is understood, operationalized, and integrated within pediatric oncology programs. In particular, ambiguity surrounding

Population Size in Evolutionary Biology Is More Than the Effective Size

Evolutionary Applications
In population genetics idealized Wright‐Fisher (WF) populations are generally considered equivalent to real populations with regard to the major evolutionary processes that influence genotype and allele frequencies.

Genomic diversity characteristics of sheep populations in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Serbia and Montenegro

Czech Journal of Animal Science
Monitoring the genetic diversity in livestock is a critical component for sustainable management of small and endangered breeds. In this paper we follow up the two most often used metrics of genetic diversity, the average inbreeding coefficients (F) and ...

Effective sizes for subdivided populations. [PDF]

Genetics, 1993
Abstract Many derivations of effective population sizes have been suggested in the literature; however, few account for the breeding structure and none can readily be expanded to subdivided populations. Breeding structures influence gene correlations through their effects on the number of breeding individuals of each sex, the mean number

Feasibility and Preliminary Efficacy of Integrative Neuromuscular Training for Childhood Cancer Survivors: A Pilot Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) often exhibit early deficits in muscle and movement competence, which can compromise long‐term health. Integrative neuromuscular training (INT), a multifaceted approach combining fundamental movement activities with strength exercises, may help address these deficits during ...

Estimation of Linkage Disequilibrium and Effective Population Size in Three Italian Autochthonous Beef Breeds

Animals, 2020
The objective was to investigate the pattern of linkage disequilibrium (LD) in three local beef breeds, namely, Calvana (n = 174), Mucca Pisana (n = 270), and Pontremolese (n = 44). As a control group, samples of the Italian Limousin breed (n = 100) were

The Role of Invasive Procedures in the Treatment of Complicated Gastrointestinal Graft‐Versus‐Host Disease in Pediatric Patients

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Gastrointestinal graft‐versus‐host disease (GI GVHD) following hematopoietic stem cell transplant is typically managed with medical therapy, but surgery and angioembolization may be warranted in selected cases with life‐threatening complications.

Selection dramatically reduces effective population size in HIV-1 infection

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2008
Background In HIV-1 evolution, a 100–100,000 fold discrepancy between census size and effective population size (Ne) has been noted. Although it is well known that selection can reduce Ne, high in vivo mutation and recombination rates complicate attempts
