Results of crossing Uzbek fine-wool ewes with Dagestan fine-wool rams

BIO Web of Conferences
This study evaluated the growth performance of F1 crossbred lambs from Dagestan breed rams crossed with meat-wool ewes, comparing them to purebred meat-wool lambs across all developmental stages. The F1 hybrids demonstrated superior live weight at all measured intervals: birth (4.36 kg vs 4.24 kg), 1 month (14.24 kg vs 13.97 kg), 3 months (25.70 kg vs ...

Genome-wide association studies detects candidate genes for wool traits by re-sequencing in Chinese fine-wool sheep

BMC Genomics, 2021
Background The quality and yield of wool determine the economic value of the fine-wool sheep. Therefore, discovering markers or genes relevant to wool traits is the cornerstone for the breeding of fine-wool sheep.

Removing Oxide Layers and Retaining Oxide‐Free Steel Surfaces by Polishing in Oxygen‐Free Atmosphere

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
In this study, the efficacy of wet mechanical polishing under an oxygen‐free atmosphere for deoxidation and the retention of an oxide‐free steel surface are elucidated using X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The methodology proved successful; however, the results were highly dependent on the preparation of the solvents used to clean the samples after ...

Bio‐Inspired Magnetically Tunable Structural Colors from Elliptical Self‐Assembled Block Copolymer Microparticles

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Cephalopod‐inspired photonic microparticles with dynamic structural coloration are fabricated via confined self‐assembly of linear block copolymers into ellipsoids containing stacked lamellae. Embedded superparamagnetic nanoparticles enable rapid magnetic alignment, restoring vivid, angle‐dependent color.
