autoselection is a kind of natural selection, that occurs in reproductive traits by inequality of offspring generation and therefore by virtue of the nature of its genes transmission to next generations. in this study, the effects of autoselection on heritability and selection response in reproductive traits by using univariate stochastic computer simulation in artificial selected and unselecte...

estimating the final price of products is of great importance. for manufacturing companies proposing a final price is only possible after the design process over. these companies propose an approximate initial price of the required products to the customers for which some of time and money is required. here using the existing data of already designed transformers and utilizing the bayesian anal...

semen collection evaluation and addition of preservatives to increase storage period of sperm are essential for successful artificial insemination. this study was conducted on 4rams (2 ghezel merinos and 2 merinos moghani) to evaluate the effect of two diluents in khalatposhan research station. average age of rams was 3 years. rams were trained to serve the artificial insemination and semen sam...

abstract   background : leukemia is one of the mostcommon cancers in children, comprising more than a third of all childhood cancers. newly affected patients in usa are estimated as 10100cases, and if these cases are diagnosed late or proper treatment is not applied, then it can be mortal. because rapid and proper diagnosis of leukemia based on clinical or medicinal findings (without biopsy) is...

in this work, artificial neural network (ann) has been employed to propose a practical model forpredicting the surface tension of multi-component mixtures. in order to develop a reliable modelbased on the ann, a comprehensive experimental data set including 15 ternary liquid mixtures atdifferent temperatures was employed. these systems consist of 777 data points generally containinghydrocarbon ...

in general, amount of sludge will definitely increase in near future and composting processes, optimum composting conditions and compost use as fertilizer and soil amendment will then be significant research topics. the present study was conducted for o2 parameter estimation by multiple regression and artificial neural networks methods. daily temperature, ch4, h2s, co2 and o2 measurements were ...

objective(s): this study aims to evaluate and predict the thermal conductivity of iron oxide nanofluid at different temperatures and volume fractions by artificial neural network (ann) and correlation using experimental data. methods: two-layer perceptron feedforward artificial neural network and backpropagation levenberg-marquardt (bp-lm) training algorithm are used to predict the thermal cond...

in this work, the waste stone sludge obtained from the granite and marble stone processing factories was used for the manufacture of artificial stones using vibratory compaction in a vacuum environment. the results obtained showed that water absorption and density increased, and the flexure, compressive, and tensile strengths decreased with increase in the content of the waste stone sludge. the...
