In this review an attempt is made to list the most important events in the search for genetic markers in the blood of animals. In chronological order, blood groups, biochemical polymorphisms, lymphocyte antigens and DNA markers have been discovered and used in practice. Of all practical uses, parentage verification and exclusion are regarded as the most important, and it can be said with pride ...

Females of at least 8 species of rodent will terminate pregnancies after exposure to a "strange" male or his odors in the laboratory. Although only suggestive evidence exists for the occurrence of pregnancy interruption in the field, this laboratory phenomenon has been assigned important adaptive roles in the reproductive biology of rodents. In the present study, the extent of pregnancy interru...

Steel plates in double skin composite (DSC) panels are restrained by a concrete core and welded stud shear connectors at discrete positions. Local buckling of steel plates in DSC panels may occur in a unilateral mode between stud shear connectors when subjected to combined states of stresses. This paper studies the local and post-local buckling strength of steel plates in DSC panels under biaxi...

Holstein bulls were assigned to sampling categories (AI stud, AI nonstud, or non-AI) based on bull code, controller number, and age at semen distribution. The AI stud bulls were sampled through traditional progeny-testing programs of 13 AI organizations; AI nonstud bulls had AI semen collection reported by another organization or by multiple organizations. The non-AI bulls had no reported AI se...

Horse racing is a multi-million pound industry, in which genetic information is increasingly used to optimize breeding programmes. To maximize the probability of producing a successful offspring, the owner of a mare should mate her with a high-quality stallion. However, stallions with big reputations command higher stud fees and paying these is only a sensible strategy if, (i) there is a geneti...

A comprehensive investigation of the surfaces of copper through silicon vias Cu-TSVs and gold stud bumps is presented. These vias and stud bumps were bonded at room temperature using a nanobonding and interconnection equipment. The influence of heating on the bonded interface was also studied. In order to achieve an intimate contact between the Au-stud bumps and Cu-TSVs, the stud bumps were fla...

The welding of shear stud connectors to structural steel in construction requires a prolonged stooped posture that exposes ironworkers to biomechanical and welding fume hazards. In this study, biomechanical and welding fume exposures during stud welding using conventional methods were compared to exposures associated with use of a prototype system that allowed participants to weld from an uprig...
