Positive perturbations of generators of locally Lipschitz continuous increasing integrated semigroups on an abstract L space are again generators of locally Lipschitz continuous increasing integrated semigroups. Positive perturbations of generators of positive dual semigroups on a dual abstract L space are generators of semigroups that are weakly∗ right continuous. These results are reformulate...

The diversity in today’s livestock breeds has been shaped largely through the domestication of wild ancestral species and subsequent refinement by human selection for desired traits. Only a small fraction of the genetic diversity from the ancestral species survives in the domestic counterparts. A 2007 report released by UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) "The state of the world's animal...
