Dynamic Parameter Encoding for Genetic Algorithms [PDF]
Machine Learning, 1992 The common use of static binary place-value codes for real-valued parameters of the phenotype in Holland's genetic algorithm (GA) forces either the sacrifice of representational precision for efficiency of search or vice versa. Dynamic Parameter Encoding (DPE) is a mechanism that avoids this dilemma by using convergence statistics derived from the GA ...

Genetic parameter estimation for reproductive traits in QingYu pigs and comparison of carcass and meat quality traits to Berkshire×QingYu crossbred pigs [PDF]
Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2020 Objective The QingYu pig is well known for its excellent meat quality attributes in Sichuan province, China. In order to improve its production efficiency, the determination of genetic factors contributing to quantifiable economic traits of livestock is ...

Key Genetic Parameters for Population Management [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2019 Population management has the primary task of maximizing the long-term competitiveness of a breed. Breeds compete with each other for being able to supply consumer demands at low costs and also for funds from conservation programs. The competition for consumer preference is won by breeds with high genetic gain for total merit who maintained a ...

Combining polynomial chaos expansions and genetic algorithm for the coupling of electrophysiological models [PDF]
, 2019 The number of computational models in cardiac research has grown over the last decades. Every year new models with di erent assumptions appear in the literature dealing with di erences in interspecies cardiac properties.

Estimation of quantitative genetic parameters [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2008 This paper gives a short review of the development of genetic parameter estimation over the last 40 years. The need to analyse genetic processes in both animal selection experiments and animal breeding improvement programmes motivated the majority of this work.

Robust forward simulations of recurrent hitchhiking [PDF]
, 2014 Evolutionary forces shape patterns of genetic diversity within populations and contribute to phenotypic variation. In particular, recurrent positive selection has attracted significant interest in both theoretical and empirical studies.

Bifurcation discovery tool [PDF]
, 2005 Motivation: Biochemical networks often yield interesting behavior such as switching, oscillation and chaotic dynamics. This article describes a tool that is capable of searching for bifurcation points in arbitrary ODE-based reaction networks by directing
