Maximum likelihood methods for the estimation of linkage disequilibrium between biallelic DNA-markers in half-sib families (half-sib method) are developed for single and multifamily situations. Monte Carlo computer simulations were carried out for a variety of scenarios regarding sire genotypes, linkage disequilibrium, recombination fraction, family size, and number of families. A double hetero...

Purpose Computing the duration of real estate assets is a challenging task due to the particularities of the property market. This paper aims to develop an empirical model to compute the interest-rate sensitivity of direct real estate assets in the Swiss multifamily housing market. Design/methodology/approach An aggregated total return index is used to empirically estimate the interest-rate sen...

In the article, distribution of symmetrical loads operating in extreme load, taking into account total power consumers network, was modeled by installing solar panels apartments. As a result, as result use with 34 kW houses cable network length 0.444 km, reduction active loss 21382 kWh (37%) is achieved, reactive achieved 7309kVAR*hour (37%), level overloading 1- section households, from 105% t...

CONTEXT Evidence-based interventions to improve medication adherence among patients with schizophrenia are lacking. Although family psychoeducation has demonstrated efficacy in improving outcomes in schizophrenia, empirical support for its ability to enhance medication adherence is scarce. OBJECTIVE To determine whether a culturally adapted, multifamily group (MFG) therapy would increase medi...
