Effects on prediction of analysing a multi-line chicken population as one line were evaluated. Body weight records were provided by Cobb-Vantress for two lines of broiler chickens. Phenotypic records for 183 695 and 164 149 broilers and genotypic records for 3195 and 3001 broilers were available for each line. Lines were combined to create a multi-line population and analysed using a single-ste...

In the present paper the cross norm criterion for separability of density matrices is studied. In the first part of the paper we determine the value of the greatest cross norm for Werner states, for isotropic states and for Bell diagonal states. In the second part we show that the greatest cross norm criterion induces a novel computable separability criterion for bipartite systems. This new cri...

We consider the problem of blind source separation of MIMO convolutive mixtures for the general case where the number of sensors are greater than or equal to the number of sources. We assume that sources are non-stationary signals. The separation is performed in the frequency domain by joint minimization of the off–diagonal elements of observed signal’s cross-spectral density matrices over diff...

The transverse Stark shift of the electronic energy levels in GaAs semiconducting quantum box is investigated by the use of variational solutions to the effective-mass approximation. It is found an interesting phenomenon that the largest Stark shift is obtained for the electric field directed along the diagonal in cross section of a quantum box, while for a rectangular one, the shift reaches pe...

Ž . Recurrence plots RPs often have fascinating structures, especially when the embedding dimension is 1. We identify four Ž . basic patterns of a RP, namely, patterns along the main 458 diagonal, patterns along the 1358 diagonal, block-like structures, and square-like textures. We also study how the structures of and quantification statistics for RPs vary with the embedding parameters. By cons...

The OH stretch line shape of ice Ih exhibits distinct peaks, the assignment of which remains controversial. We address this longstanding question using two dimensional infrared (2D IR) spectroscopy of the OH stretch of H2O and the OD stretch of D2O of ice Ih at T=80 K. The isotropic response is dominated by a 2D line shape component which does not depend on the pump pulse frequency. The decay t...

We report acquisition of diagonal-compensated protein structural restraints from four-dimensional solid-state NMR spectra on extensively deuterated and (1)H back-exchanged proteins. To achieve this, we use homonuclear (1)H-(1)H correlations with diagonal suppression and nonuniform sampling (NUS). Suppression of the diagonal allows the accurate identification of cross-peaks which are otherwise o...
