abstractbackground and objectives: in most saline and non-saline soils, nitrogen is the most restrictive nutrient for plant growth. in saline soils, interactive effects of salinity and soil fertility is very important from optimum production. nutrient imbalance is one of the problems with saline soils. in these circumstances, the fertilizer application may to increase osmotic effect of salt, th...

In variance component quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis, a mixed model is used to detect the most likely chromosome position of a QTL. The putative QTL is included as a random effect and a method is needed to estimate the QTL variance. The standard estimation method used is an iterative method based on the restricted maximum likelihood (REML). In this paper, we present a novel non-iterativ...

Inhibitors of cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks) have been reported to have activities in chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells by inhibiting Cdk7 and Cdk9, which control transcription. Here we studied the novel Cdk inhibitor SNS-032, which exhibits potent and selective inhibitory activity against Cdk2, Cdk7, and Cdk9. We hypothesized that transient inhibition of transcription by SNS-032 would decrea...

The research was conducted on 3 844 Polish Merino lamb dams born in 1991-2001, used in 15 flocks from the Pomerania and Kujawy region in Poland. The assessed parameters were the number of lambs born from a dam after lambing (LSB) (1, 2, 3) and the number of lambs reared (LSW) (0, 1, 2, 3). The genetic parameters LSB and LSW were estimated with the use of two methods: Average Information – REML ...
