Porcine F2 crosses derived from distantly or closely ‘related’ founder breeds have frequently been used for QTL mapping. Increasing marker density up to a maximum level can be done by re-sequencing and imputation techniques. This study investigated by means of simulations the mapping resolution and LD structure around causal genes of several F2 crosses with maximum marker density. It is shown t...

a concept of weak $f$-property for a set-valued mapping is introduced‎, ‎and then under some suitable assumptions‎, ‎which do not involve any information‎ ‎about the solution set‎, ‎the lower semicontinuity of the solution mapping to‎ ‎the parametric‎ ‎set-valued vector equilibrium-like problems are derived by using a density result and scalarization method‎, ‎where the‎ ‎constraint set $k$...

Association or linkage disequilibrium mapping has become a very popular method for dissecting the genetic basis of complex traits in plants. The benefits of association mapping, compared with traditional quantitative trait locus mapping, is, for example, a relatively detailed mapping resolution and that it is far less time consuming since no mapping populations need to be generated. The surge o...

In flow shop scheduling there are m machines and n jobs, such that every job has to be processed on the machines in the fixed order 1, . . . , m. In the permutation flow shop problem, it is also required that each machine processes the set of all jobs in the same order. Formally, given n jobs along with their processing times on each machine, the goal is to compute a single permutation of the j...

We find a two term asymptotic expansion for the optimal expected value of a sequentially selected monotone subsequence from a random permutation of length n. A striking feature of this expansion is that it tells us that the expected value of optimal selection from a random permutation is quantifiably larger than optimal sequential selection from an independent sequence of uniformly distributed ...

background & aim: dental implants should be surrounded with at least 1mm bone. assessing ridge width is an important part to achieve this goal. the use of ridge mapping to assess bone levels available avoids some of the problems associated with ct-scanning. the aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of ridge-mapping compared to ct-scan in determination of bony ridge widths. methods & mate...

Remotely sensed images have become an important source of information for actors involved in disaster management and satellite-based emergency mapping (SEM) is increasingly used to support the response phase first hours days after a occurs. The delivery timeliness crisis key success SEM. In Copernicus Emergency Management Service (CEMS), procedure was tested during past 5 years which links Euro...

Adequate separation of effects of possible multiple linked quantitative trait loci (QTLs) on mapping QTLs is the key to increasing the precision of QTL mapping. A new method of QTL mapping is proposed and analyzed in this paper by combining interval mapping with multiple regression. The basis of the proposed method is an interval test in which the test statistic on a marker interval is made to ...

With the increasing availability of functional genomic data (Consortium et al., 2012, Kundaje et al., 2015, Ardlie et al., 2015), incorporating genomic annotations into QTL mapping has become a standard analytical procedure. However, the existing analysis methods often lack rigor and/or computational efficiency. We present a novel algorithm to perform integrative multi-SNP QTL mapping in a prob...
