Genomic selection is a promising challenge for discovering genetic variants influencing quantitative and threshold traits for improving the genetic gain and accuracy of genomic prediction in animal breeding. Since a proportion of genotypes are generally uncalled, therefore, prediction of genomic accuracy requires imputation of missing genotypes. The objectives of this study were (1) to quantify...

Land use change prediction is an important factor in appropriate planning and integrated ecological management of watersheds. There are various methods for modeling and prediction of land use, i.e. Markov chain and CA Markov. In this research, for predicting the land use of Gareen watershed in Iran in 2042, Landsat satellite images of 1986, 2000 and 2014, and the Markov chain and CA Markov was ...

Background: Diabetes ever-increasing prevalence and the heavy burdens of controlling and treatment of the disease on people and the country have turned to be greatest challenges for governmental and healthcare authorities. Therefore, the disease prevention takes top priority and to do so the only possible way is detecting the effective parameters and controlling them. This study is about to for...

Digital soil mapping includes soils, spatial prediction and their properties based on the relationship with covariates. This study was designed for digital soil mapping using binary logistic regression and boosted regression tree in Zarand region of Kerman. A stratified sampling scheme was adopted for the 90,000 ha area based on which, 123 soil profiles were described. In both approaches, the o...
