in the research the genetic investigation productive and reproductive traits and changes trend the traits in years, seasons and different lactation periods and genetic evaluation cows and bulls of 785 records for milk and 665 records for fat yield and reproductive information during years 1998 to 2003 of 207 dairy cows ghezlagh farm aboureyhan campus (university of tehran) studied. the least sq...

in the regulated nakdong river, algal proliferations are annually observed in some seasons, with cyanobacteria (microcystis aeruginosa) appearing in summer and diatom blooms (stephanodiscus hantzschii) in winter. this study aims to develop two ecological models forecasting future chlorophyll a at two time-steps (one-week and one-year forecasts), using recurrent neural networks tuned by genetic...

thriteen thousand, seven hundred and fifty two (13752) records on growth tarits (birth weight, 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 month weights) as well as pelt scores, collected during 1996-2002 as karakul sheep breeding station, sarakhs, iran were employed in this study. best liner unbiased prediction (blup) of breeding values, genetic and phenotypic trends of the traits were estimated as the regression of av...

In genetic association studies, due to the varying underlying genetic models, no single statistical test can be the most powerful test under all situations. Current studies show that if the underlying genetic models are known, trend-based tests, which outperform the classical Pearson χ² test, can be constructed. However, when the underlying genetic models are unknown, the χ² test is usually mor...

in this research, 6517 records, collected by khojir sheep breeding station (tehran, iran), during 1991 to 2011 were used to estimate genetic parameters of lamb survival in zandi sheep. genetic parameters were estimated using 16 different models of animal model, sire and threshold models using reml procedures. the aic criterion was used to evaluate the models. the effects in the most suitable an...
