Abstract. The purpose of the research is to develop a comprehensive assessment system with new indicators feed behavior and conversion in Duroc pigs based on selection index. Research methods. Herdsman database was used, which includes processing data fattening characteristics feeding 764 heads that have passed test at automatic stations. 13 were evaluated, 7 6 – characteristics. evaluation bre...

in this paper, design and application of a new digital protective relay based on fuzzy logicand value estimation to a radial power system protection was presented. a novel approach based onvalue estimation was investigated for the proposed fuzzy logic based protective relay. in addition to thetheoretical aspect of fuzzy logic, mathematical definition of value estimation, detection andmeasuremen...

For many species, breeding population size is an important metric for assessing population status. A variety of simple methods are often used to estimate this metric for ground-nesting birds that nest in open habitats (e.g., beaches, riverine sandbars). The error and bias associated with estimates derived using these methods vary in relation to differing monitoring intensities and detection rat...

The most obvious piece of phenotypic information we can use to estimate an animal’s breeding value is the animal’s own phenotype. But we can also use information from relatives, such as the sire, the dam, siblings and progeny. Commercial genetic evaluation systems produce EBVs for each animal for all traits of relevance. Such an evaluation is based on a statistical procedure leading to Best Lin...
