Genetic Parameters and Trait Associations in Wheat Under Drought and Low Nitrogen Conditions
Drought and low nitrogen stress are the leading cause of low crop production and productivity worldwide. Developing drought-tolerant wheat germplasm resilient to low nitrogen conditions is essential through genetic enhancement and selection for novel ...

Likelihood inference for small variance components
In this paper, we develop likelihood-based methods for making inferences about the components of variance in a general normal mixed linear model. In particular, we use local asymptotic approximations to construct confidence intervals for the components ...

Phenotypic Analysis of Fourier-Transform Infrared Milk Spectra in Dairy Goats
The infrared spectrum of bovine milk is used to predict many interesting traits, whereas there have been few studies on goat milk in this regard. The objective of this study was to characterize the major sources of variation in the absorbance of the ...

Estimation of variance components from the measurement in a geodetic network [PDF]
The precision of geodetic instruments used for precise measurements in geodetic networks is described by the dispersion σ2 or the standard deviation σ. Some of geodetic instruments, like electro optic range-finder and its accuracy are characteristized by

A variance components factor model for genetic association studies: a Bayesian analysis.
Studies of gene-trait associations for complex diseases often involve multiple traits that may vary by genotype groups or patterns. Such traits are usually manifestations of lower-dimensional latent factors or disease syndromes.

Conductance fluctuations in the presence of spin scattering [PDF]
Electron transport through disordered systems that include spin scatterers is studied numerically. We consider three kinds of magnetic impurities: the Ising, the XY and the Heisenberg. By extending the transfer matrix method to include the spin degree of

Physical appearance perfectionism explains variance in eating disorder symptoms above general perfectionism [PDF]
Physical appearance perfectionism is a domain-specific form of perfectionism comprising two components: hope for perfection and worry about imperfection (Yang & Stoeber, 2012).
