Robust Optimal Contribution Selection

open access: yes
Optimal contribution selection (OCS) is a selective breeding method that manages the conversion of genetic variation into genetic gain to facilitate short-term competitiveness and long-term sustainability in breeding programmes. Traditional approaches to OCS do not account for uncertainty in input data, which is always present and challenges ...

Adjunctive Therapeutic Plasma Exchange in Refractory Adult‐Onset Still's Disease Complicated by Secondary Macrophage Activation Syndrome: A Single‐Center Experience

open access: yesTherapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Adult‐onset Still's disease (AOSD) complicated by macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) carries substantial mortality. The role of therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) remains uncertain. Methods We retrospectively analyzed patients with AOSD‐MAS treated with TPE at a single‐center.

The influence of prenatal environmental conditions on the weight of newborn domestic pigs

open access: yesВавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2017
The weight of newborn piglets in domestic pigs depends on the maternal environment. Using an original algorithm based on the comparison of the coefficients of correlation between the half-nests (the same average genotype and the same conditions of the ...

MOESM2 of Selective advantage of implementing optimal contributions selection and timescales for the convergence of long-term genetic contributions

open access: yes, 2018
Additional file 2: Tables S1, S2, S3, S4. Estimates of regression coefficients ( $$\beta$$ β ) from univariate regressions of selection score (x i ) on estimated breeding values ( $${\text{EBV}}$$ EBV ) and estimated Mendelian sampling terms ( $$\hat{a}$$ a ^ ). Standard errors (s.e.) are given in parentheses. Table S2.

Infection Control Practices for Vascular Access Management in Hemodialysis: Results From a Nationwide Survey of Japanese National University Hospitals

open access: yesTherapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Bloodstream infections due to repeated vascular access (VA) puncture and circuit connections remain major concerns in hemodialysis. Therefore, we examined current practices for glove, disinfectant, and personal protective equipment (PPE) use according to VA type in national university hospitals in Japan.

Unstable decay and state selection II

open access: yes, 2001
The decay of unstable states when several metastable states are available for occupation is investigated using path-integral techniques. Specifically, a method is described which allows the probabilities with which the metastable states are occupied to ...

The nk model and population genetics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The nk model of fitness interactions is examined. This model has been used by previous authors to investigate the effects of fitness epistasis on substitution dynamics in molecular evolution, and to make broader claims about the importance of epistasis ...
