The statistical theory of linear selection indices from phenotypic to genomic selection. [PDF]

Crop Sci, 2022
Abstract A linear selection index (LSI) can be a linear combination of phenotypic values, marker scores, and genomic estimated breeding values (GEBVs); phenotypic values and marker scores; or phenotypic values and GEBVs jointly. The main objective of the LSI is to predict the net genetic merit (H), which is a linear combination of unobservable ...

Effects of jujube (<i>Ziziphus jujuba</i> mill.) fruit extracts on oxidative stress: A systematic review and meta-analysis of rodent studies. [PDF]

Food Sci Nutr
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.) fruit extracts on oxidative stress levels in rodent models. The results of this systematic review and meta‐analysis suggest that jujube fruit extracts are healthy and effective antioxidant dietary supplements that may be an effective adjunctive therapy for diseases in which ...

The Effects of Storage Conditions and Homogenisation Buffers on the Measurement of SOD, CAT and ADA Enzyme Activities in Cattle Liver. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
It is important to accurately measure enzyme activities in research studies to evaluate parameters, and many factors may affect the results of the measurements. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of storage conditions (time and temperature) and different homogenisation buffers (PBS or KCl) on the measurement of SOD, CAT and ADA enzyme

Cognitive, Affective Problems and Renal Cross Ectopy in a Patient with 48,XXYY/47,XYY Syndrome. [PDF]

Case Rep Genet, 2015
Klinefelter syndrome is the most common sex chromosome abnormality (SCA) in infertile patients and 47,XXY genomic configuration constitutes most of the cases. However, additional Xs and/or Y such as 48,XXYY, 48,XXXY, and 47,XYY can occur less frequently than 47,XXY. Those configurations were considered as variants of Klinefelter syndrome.

Modular Organization of Muscle Synergies to Achieve Movement Behaviors. [PDF]

J Healthc Eng, 2019
Muscle synergy has been applied to comprehend how the central nervous system (CNS) controls movements for decades. However, it is not clear about the motion control mechanism and the relationship between motions and muscle synergies. In this paper, we designed two experiments to corroborate the hypothesis: (1) motions can be decomposed to motion ...

Negative Integration Is What States Make of It? Tackling Labour Exploitation in the German Meat Sector

JCMS: Journal of Common Market Studies, Volume 61, Issue 4, Page 917-934, July 2023., 2023
Abstract In this article, we trace Germany's recent reform (and its precursors) seeking to remedy precarious working conditions in the meat sector. Focusing on an extreme case of labour exploitation, and asking how unique it is, allows us to uncover which institutional features of EU Member States condition the liberalization effects of negative ...

The effect on handgrip strength of low‐frequency percutaneous electric stimulation applied to the median and cubital nerves: A randomized, double‐blind controlled trial

The Anatomical Record, Volume 306, Issue 4, Page 720-727, April 2023., 2023
Abstract Percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (PENS) consists of applying an electric current of <1,000 Hz to different neuromuscular structures through acupuncture needles. Currently, there is controversy surrounding the effect of PENS on muscle strength in the scientific literature.

Assessment of a subgrid‐scale model for convection‐dominated mass transfer for initial transient rise of a bubble

AIChE Journal, Volume 68, Issue 7, July 2022., 2022
Abstract The mass transfer between a rising bubble and the surrounding liquid is mainly determined by an extremely thin layer of dissolved gas near the bubble interface. Resolving this concentration boundary layer in numerical simulations is computationally expensive and limited to low Péclet numbers.
