Genetic variation of metabolite and hormone concentration in UK Holstein-Friesian calves and the genetic relationship with economically important traits [PDF]

, 2009
The decline of dairy cattle fertility worldwide remains a major concern, with conception rates to first service commonly below 40%. The length and severity of negative energy balance postpartum are unfavorably correlated with fertility, suggesting that ...

Using genetic programming and the stress equilibrium method to obtain the un-stressed lattice parameter for calculating residual stresses [PDF]

, 2023
While it is known that the crucial requirement for investigating residual stresses using diffraction is the use of a reliable unstressed lattice parameter, the robustness of genetic programming to accomplish this task will be shown here.

Heritability and Genetic Correlation of Age at First Egg and Egg Number up to 40 Weeks of Age After Long-Term Selection in Taiwan Indigenous Chicken

Animals
The objective of this study was to estimate the genetic parameters of the egg-laying traits of hens after long-term selection. Four lines were derived from Taiwan indigenous chickens conserved in situ by the National Livestock Biodiversity Program.

Hritabilities and genetic and phenotypic correlations of litter uniformity and litter size in Large White sows

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2016
Litter uniformity, which is usually represented by within-litter weight coefficient of variation at birth (CVB), could influence litter performance of sows and the profitability of pig enterprises.

Guidelines for Pediatric Radiotherapy Simulation: A Report From the Children's Oncology Group Radiation Oncology Discipline

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric radiation therapy presents unique challenges compared to adult treatments, including those of immobilization, potential need for sedation, and the critical importance of accurate, reproducible positioning. Additionally, heightened attention to imaging doses is necessary to minimize long‐term toxicity in survivors.

Robust H∞ feedback control for uncertain stochastic delayed genetic regulatory networks with additive and multiplicative noise [PDF]

, 2010
The official published version can found at the link below.Noises are ubiquitous in genetic regulatory networks (GRNs). Gene regulation is inherently a stochastic process because of intrinsic and extrinsic noises that cause kinetic parameter variations ...

Re‐Irradiation in Pediatric Diffuse Midline Glioma: A Multi‐Institutional Retrospective Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Children with recurrent diffuse midline gliomas (DMGs) have limited therapeutic options at recurrence. Re‐irradiation (RT2) may be used at progression, but with uncertainty about the benefit. Methods We conducted a multi‐institutional retrospective study of children aged < 18 with DMG treated at three centers (Toronto, Canada ...

Spatiotemporal patterns of genetic variation for growth and fertility in Scots pine [PDF]

, 2011
Genetic testing plays an important role in tree breeding. Understanding basic genetic parameters for growth and fertility is a prerequisite for developing a successful breeding strategy to balance between short- and long-term gains.

Connecting automatic parameter tuning, genetic programming as a hyper-heuristic and genetic improvement programming [PDF]

, 2016
Automatically designing algorithms has long been a dream of computer scientists. Early attempts which generate computer programs from scratch, have failed to meet this goal. However, in recent years there have been a number of different technologies with
