Mating system of Datura inoxia: association between selfing rates and herkogamy within populations [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Plant mating system determines, to a great extent, the demographic and genetic properties of populations, hence their potential for adaptive evolution. Variation in plant mating system has been documented between phylogenetically related species as well ...

Calculation and Experimental Study on Purging Resistance of the Spiral Tube Heat Exchanger
Zhongguo dianli, 2020 For the spiral tube heat exchanger with smaller diameter and more complex structure, using the conventional method is not an effective way to clean the inside of the tubes. In this paper, regarding the difficulties in cleaning the steam generator of high-

Inbreeding depression for kit survival at birth in a rabbit population under long-term selection
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2020 Background Accumulation of detrimental mutations in small populations leads to inbreeding depression of fitness traits and a higher frequency of genetic defects, thus increasing risk of extinction.

Allele frequency divergence reveals ubiquitous influence of positive selection in Drosophila.
PLoS Genetics, 2021 Resolving the role of natural selection is a basic objective of evolutionary biology. It is generally difficult to detect the influence of selection because ubiquitous non-selective stochastic change in allele frequencies (genetic drift) degrades ...
