Economic Values for the Australian Pig Industry [PDF]
, 2008 Genetic improvement of livestock has to consider a number of traits and is often based on an economic index. The economic index is the sum of the estimated breeding values for traits in the breeding objective weighted by their economic values.

The diameters of guinea pig auditory nerve fibres: Distribution and correlation with spontaneous rate [PDF]
, 1993 In the mammalian auditory nerve physiological recordings revealed that the spontaneous discharge rate of single auditory fibres correlates with the diversity of input-output functions which may be important for intensity discrimination (e.g., Sachs and ...

Auditory–Tactile Congruence for Synthesis of Adaptive Pain Expressions in RoboPatients
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.In this work, we explore auditory–tactile congruence for synthesizing adaptive vocal pain expressions in robopatients. Using a robopatient platform that integrates vocal pain sounds with palpation forces, we conducted 7680 trials across 20 participants.

Variation in Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs) of Young Boars [PDF]
, 2012 Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs) predict differences in genetic merit between animals. On average, half of the genetic superiority of an animal is observed in the performance of its progeny (Macbeth and McPhee, 1999), since a parent passes half of its ...
