Considerations for monitoring population trends of colonial waterbirds using the effective number of breeders and census estimates

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2018
Detecting trends in population size fluctuations is a major focus in ecology, evolution, and conservation biology. Populations of colonial waterbirds have been monitored using demographic approaches to determine annual census size (Na).

Population structure and inbreeding of Holstein cattle in southern Brazil

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2020
The present investigation aimed to evaluate the population structure and inbreeding of Holstein herds in southern Brazil. To carry out the analysis, the Associação Paranaense de Criadores de Bovinos da Raça Holandesa (APCBRH) in Brazil provided the data,

Pacific salmon and the coalescent effective population size. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
Pacific salmon include several species that are both commercially important and endangered. Understanding the causes of loss in genetic variation is essential for designing better conservation strategies.

Predicted genetic gains for growth traits and Genotype x Environment interaction in Pinus greggii: new perspectives for genetic improvement in Brazil

open access: yesAnais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2021
Pinus greggii has potential for inclusion in temperate zone breeding programs around the world as it is frost resistant and produces high yields for pulp production. This study estimates the genetic parameters for two P. greggii progeny tests established

A slip-based model for the size-dependent effective thermal conductivity of nanowires

open access: yes, 2017
The heat flux across a nanowire is computed based on the Guyer-Krumhansl equation. Slip conditions with a slip length depending on both temperature and nanowire radius are introduced at the outer boundary. An explicit expression for the effective thermal

Primitive prime divisors in the critical orbit of z^d+c [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We prove the finiteness of the Zsigmondy set associated to the critical orbit of f(z) = z^d+c for rational values of c by finding an effective bound on the size of the set.

Cognitive Functioning in Vorinostat‐Treated Pediatric and Young Adult Patients Over the First 180 Days After Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Cognitive and psychological difficulties could negatively interfere with treatment adherence and quality of life before and after hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). Methods to mitigate these changes may have positive effects on treatment success.

Glassy slowdown and replica-symmetry-breaking instantons [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Glass-forming liquids exhibit a dramatic dynamical slowdown as the temperature is lowered. This can be attributed to relaxation proceeding via large structural rearrangements whose characteristic size increases as the system cools.

A PRSZT Registry Analysis of Prognostic Factors Influencing Survival and Relapse Rates After Second Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation in Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A second allogeneic (allo‐)hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT2) is a potential curative option for pediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) following relapse after first allogeneic transplantation (HSCT1), but its efficacy is limited by high relapse rates and transplant‐related toxicity in highly pretreated ...

Effects of Social Structure on Effective Population Size Change Estimates

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications
Most methods currently used to infer the “demographic history of species” interpret this expression as a history of population size changes. The detection, quantification, and dating of demographic changes often rely on the assumption that population ...
