Unimodal biometric system uses only single trait of biometric for recognition and do not provide secured application. Multimodal biometric combines different physical and behavioral traits such as face and finger other traits such as skin color, age, height, hair color, eye color, provide reliable authentication because the nature of these t property in soft biometrics, it can be used with othe...

Due primarily to a lack of phenotypic data, little research has been undertaken on the genetics of reproductive performance in beef cattle. The objective of this study was to quantify, using data from the Irish national cattle herd, the contribution of additive genetics to phenotypic differences in reproductive performance in beef cattle and to investigate whether routinely available early pred...

Soft biometric traits like gender, age, height, weight, ethnicity, and eye color cannot provide reliable user recognition because they are not distinctive and permanent. However, such ancillary information can complement the identity information provided by the primary biometric traits (face, fingerprint, hand-geometry, iris, etc.). This paper describes a hybrid biometric system that uses face ...

In order to estimate genetic parameters for production traits and reproductive performance, 115 465 records of production traits and 90 942 records of reproductive performance from Iranian Holstein cows that were collected during 1980 to 2004 at Animal Breeding Center of Iran, were used. The estimations were performed using Restricted Maximum Likelihood method (REML) under an animal model by DF...

In this experiment 144 Hy-line (W36) laying hens, 65 to 77 weeks of age were separated into 4 treatments with 3 replicates (12 birds per replicate) in a completely randomized design experiment. The grass clipping wastes incorporated into a complete formulated layer diet, consisting on a corn and soybean based diet, were 0, 1.5, 3.0 and 4.5% in 1 to 4 experimental groups. The results showed that...

For many breeding companies, performance testing in maternal lines is generally confined to traits such as average daily gain (ADG), back fat (BF) and perhaps loin muscle depth or area (LMD or LMA), along with litter size traits such as number born alive (NBA) or total born (TB). More sophisticated breeding programs will also accommodate traits associated with sow performance, longevity or pigl...

Background: Researchers are challenged with identification of possible feed additives with the ability to increase the efficiency of feed utilization. Aims: The present work aimed at studying growth pattern and carcass traits in broiler fed on dietary enzymes (Enzymex) and probiotic (Yeamark) over a period of six weeks. Methods: A completely ra...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the Canonical analysis of the relationship between personality traits and attitude with motivation and EFL learners’ written production task. This research in terms of data collection procedure is a correlation type. The statistical population consisted of the students who were selected by random cluster sampling method. Data were analyzed using stan...

SYNOPSIS Arnold's 1983 path-analytic paradigm, considering "morphology, performance, and fitness," has been elaborated in several ways. For example, current versions recognize the level of "behavior" (including aspects of motivation) as a filter between performance abilities (only measurable if motivation is maximal) and fitness components. Performance abilities constrain behavior, but behavior...
