The effects of PRRS on the environmental impact of pig production: a life cycle assessment study

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
The Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) is a viral pig disease that increases mortality rates and reduces (re)production performance.

Assessment of Genetic Diversity among Pigeon pea Male Sterile lines and Popular Cultivars using SSR Markers

Electronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2016
In the present study genetic diversity studies have been carried out using twenty five SSR markers in a set of pigeonpea genotypes comprising of male sterile lines and popular cultivars. The primers amplified a total of 99 bands with highest PIC of 0.79.

Genetic and phenotypic time trends of litter size, piglet mortality, and birth weight in pigs

Frontiers in Animal Science, 2023
IntroductionLitter size in pigs has increased steadily since 1990. Because of unfavorable genetic correlations with piglet mortality, breeding goals should include survival traits next to litter size.

An Arbitrary Curvilinear Coordinate Method for Particle-In-Cell Modeling

, 2012
A new approach to the kinetic simulation of plasmas in complex geometries, based on the Particle-in- Cell (PIC) simulation method, is explored. In the two dimensional (2d) electrostatic version of our method, called the Arbitrary Curvilinear Coordinate ...
