Operational gain: Measuring the capture of genetic gain
The Southern African Forestry Journal, 2002Synopsis The southern African forestry and forest products industry contributes two percent of the countries gross domestic product, yet is one ofthe most globalised industrial sectors. Forest product exports make up eight percent of the countries total exports and produce an annual net trade surplus of R5 billion.

Operational deployment of genetic gain
The Southern African Forestry Journal, 2001Tree improvement is central to increasing plantation productivity per unit land area in many countries that rely on an exotic fast grown plantation resource as a source of wood and fibre. In order to achieve an acceptable return on the investment made in tree breeding, it is important that material be deployed with both good husbandry and on sites ...

Genetic algorithm based gain scheduling
Proceedings of the 2002 Congress on Evolutionary Computation. CEC'02 (Cat. No.02TH8600), 2003We designed a feedforward control law that greatly decreases the load sway of a shipboard crane due to ship rolling. This feedforward control uses measurements of ship rolling angle at each instant. At different operating points the optimal feedforward gain changes while is numerically computable.

Accelerating crop genetic gains with genomic selection
Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 2018Genomic prediction based on additive genetic effects can accelerate genetic gain. There are opportunities for further improvement by including non-additive effects that access untapped sources of genetic diversity. Several studies have reported a worrying gap between the projected global future demand for plant-based products and the current annual ...

Routes to genetic gain in potato
Nature Plants, 2018Self-compatible diploid potatoes have been developed by knocking out the self-incompatibility gene S-RNase using CRISPR–Cas9 editing, opening new avenues for diploid potato breeding.

Gain scheduling optimization by genetic algorithms
Proceedings of 1995 American Control Conference - ACC'95, 2005Gain scheduling is a simple and common means of providing adaptive control by varying controller parameters based on measurements of key system variables. While some theoretical foundation has been developed, it remains largely ad hoc, particularly in selecting the mapping from the measured variable to the controller parameter.

Potential Genetic Gain Through Tissue Culture
1987Tissue culture, and its probable future developments, have the potential to greatly accelerate the genetic improvement of forest yield. Initially, improvement will result from the micropropagation of superior genotypes. Later, however, tissue culture may provide the essential route back to whole plants from germplasm, selected or further improved by ...

Genetic risk score for gestational weight gain
European Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Reproductive BiologyGestational weight gain (GWG) involves health consequences for both mother and offspring. Genetic factors seem to play a role in the GWG trait. For small effect sizes of a single genetic polymorphism (SNP), a genetic risk score (GRS) summarizing risk-associated variation from multiple SNPs can serve as an effective approach to genetic association ...

Systematic gain-of-function genetics in Drosophila
Development, 1998ABSTRACT A modular misexpression system was used to carry out systematic gain-of-function genetic screens in Drosophila. The system is based on inducible expression of genes tagged by insertion of a P-element vector carrying a GAL4-regulated promoter oriented to transcribe flanking genomic sequences. To identify genes involved in eye and

Mechanisms and Genetics of Antipsychotic-Associated Weight Gain
Clinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 2011Antipsychotic medications, which comprise one of the most widely prescribed medication classes, have proven effective in many psychiatric conditions. However, these agents can also be associated with obesity and other metabolic abnormalities, the mechanisms of which have been partially elucidated.
