Sex-biased admixture has been observed in a wide variety of admixed populations. Genetic variation in sex chromosomes and functions of quantities computed from sex chromosomes and autosomes have often been examined to infer patterns of sex-biased admixture, typically using statistical approaches that do not mechanistically model the complexity of a sex-specific history of admixture. Here, expan...

Gene flow between genetically distinct populations creates linkage disequilibrium (admixture linkage disequilibrium [ALD]) among all loci (linked and unlinked) that have different allele frequencies in the founding populations. We have explored the distribution of ALD by using computer simulation of two extreme models of admixture: the hybrid-isolation (HI) model, in which admixture occurs in a...

The combined use of low heat Portland cement (LHC), MgO-based expansive agent (MEA) and shrinkage reducing admixture (SRA) is beneficial to reduce the cracking risk concrete. In this study, effects MEA SRA on rheological behaviour LHC paste were investigated using dynamic static shearing tests. response surface methodology was used estimate MEA, SRA, superplasticizer parameters, while zeta pote...

Coal gangue, an industrial waste, is rich in silicon and aluminum phase may be used as a mineral admixture concrete after moderately stimulating activity, allowing for efficient solid waste utilization. This study mortar strength activity evaluation method to investigate single or compound activation methods find the optimum of coal gangue. FLIR, XRD, SEM were mechanism different modes, providi...

Recently, there has been considerable interest in the use of nanofluids for enhancing thermal performance. It has been shown that carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are capable of enhancing the thermal performance of conventional working liquids. Although much work has been devoted on the impact of CNT concentrations on the thermo-physical properties of nanofluids, the effects of preparation methods on th...

Supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) could be one aspect of a significant and necessary movement towards green chemistry, being a potential replacement for volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Unfortunately, carbon dioxide has a notoriously poor solubilising power and is famously difficult to handle. This review examines attempts and breakthroughs in enhancing the physicochemical properties of ca...

BACKGROUND Amerindian admixture is an important parameter to consider in epidemiological studies in American countries, to make a proper selection of cases and controls. AIM To compare Amerindian admixture estimates obtained using ABO*A and ABO*O blood group alleles and ancestral identity markers (AIMs) in the mixed Chilean population. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Amerindian admixture rates were de...

Estimating admixture histories is crucial for understanding the genetic diversity we see in present-day populations. Existing allele frequency or phylogeny-based methods are excellent for inferring the existence of admixture or its proportions, but have less power for estimating admixture times. Recently introduced approaches for estimating these times use spatial information from admixed chrom...
