Bidirectional selection in rodents has been used to derive animal models of human behavior. An important question is whether selection for behavior operates on a limited number of QTL or whether the number and individual contribution of QTL varies between selection experiments. To address this question, we mapped QTL in two large F2 intercrosses (N = 815 and 821) from the four lines derived fro...

In this article, we discuss the complex problem of relating genotype to phenotype and challenge the simple mapping of genes to higher level cognitive modules. We examine various methods that have been used to investigate this relation including quantitative genetics, molecular genetics, animal models, and in-depth psychological and computational studies of developmental disorders. Both single g...

Preface Statistical developments have in many cases been driven by applications in science. While genetics was always an important area that encouraged statistical research, recent technological advances in this discipline pose ever new and challenging problems to statisticians. This thesis covers the application of model selection to QTL mapping, i.e. locating genes that influence a quantitati...

A dynamic energy performance scaling (DEPS) framework had been proposed as a generalization of the dynamic voltage frequency scaling (DVFS). In this paper, we propose a scheme of checkpoint selection for DEPS framework. The checkpoint is a inserted function call in a program for switching the hardware configurations. Our scheme of checkpoint selection judges energy efficiency of a checkpoint se...

A bstract We study the critical properties of 3 d O (2) universality class in bounded domains through Monte Carlo simulations clock model. use an improved version latter, chosen to minimize finite-size corrections at criticality, with 8 orientations spins and presence vacancies. The domain for is slab configuration fixed boundaries. obtain universal magnetization profile two-point correlations,...

for investigation quantitative and qualitative properties of different lines and cultivars of rapeseed, 19 selected lines from advanced inbreeding progenies, and zarfam variety (as check), totally 20 lines and varieties, were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three replications at the experimental field of seed and plant improvement institute in karaj, during 2005-6. morpholo...
