Whole-genome sequence is potentially the richest source of genetic data for inferring ancestral demography. However, full sequence also presents significant challenges to fully utilize such large data sets and to ensure that sequencing errors do not introduce bias into the inferred demography. Using whole-genome sequence data from two Holstein cattle, we demonstrate a new method to correct for ...

This paper argues that anthropological demography has, for most part, imported rather than exported theory. However, the discipline has the potential to generate important rethinking of population, culture, and their interaction. After discussing the challenges that must be faced in developing new theoretical approaches in anthropological demography, the paper suggests a framework for research ...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of whole- and sub-population-related variabilities on the determination of the human kinetic adjustment factor (HKAF) used in risk assessment of inhaled volatile organic chemicals (VOCs). Monte Carlo simulations were applied to a steady-state algorithm to generate population distributions for blood concentrations (CAss) and rates of metabol...

the greenhouse whitefly, trialeurodes vaporariorum westwood (hem.: aleyrodidae) is a polyphagous and key pest that causes damaging to wide range of crops. the parasitoid wasp, eretmocerus delhiensis mani (hym.: aphelinidae) is a syn-ovigenic and thelytokous species that parasitizing greenhouse whitefly nymphs. in order to evaluation parasitoid wasp, eretmocerus delhiensis mani (hym.: aphelinida...
