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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Drought is the most complex abiotic stress for crop production at the global level. Therefore, developing new African spider plant genotypes tolerant to drought stress is one of the best approaches to achieving and optimizing high yield potential with ...

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

An investigation of children's peer trust across culture: is the composition of peer trust universal? [PDF]
The components of children's trust in same-gender peers (trust beliefs, ascribed trustworthiness, and dyadic reciprocal trust) were examined in samples of 8- to 11-year-olds from the UK, Italy, and Japan.
