Reproductive isolation between species is often caused by deleterious interactions among loci in hybrids. Finding the genes involved in these incompatibilities provides insight into the mechanisms of speciation. With recently diverged subspecies, house mice provide a powerful system for understanding the genetics of reproductive isolation early in the speciation process. Although previous studi...

A b s t ra c t. we studied agonistic behaviour of male and female house mice from two distant populations (Bohemia and Eastern Turkey) each belonging to a different subspecies (Mr.r ntusculus ntusculus and Mus ntusculus domesticus respectively). Two hundred dyadic interactions in a neutral cage were performed following a balanced design. The effects of sex, population, testing order, and their ...

In this paper‎, ‎we introduce the notion of $(m,n)$-‎algebr‎aically compact modules as an analogue of algebraically‎ ‎compact modules and then we show that $(m,n)$-algebraically‎ ‎compactness‎ ‎and $(m,n)$-pure injectivity for modules coincide‎. ‎Moreover‎, ‎further characterizations of a‎ ‎$(m,n)$-pure injective module over a commutative ring are given‎.

Physicians are key personnel in a sector which is important due to its size as well as the quality of service it provides. We estimate the labor supply of physicians employed at hospitals in Norway, using personnel register data merged with other public records. A dynamic labor supply equation is estimated using a sample of 1303 male physicians observed over the period 1993-1997. The methods of...

_______________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract Live, carcass, leg and muscle weight (kg) as well as dressing percentage were compared between South African Black (Struthio camelus var. domesticus) ostriches, purebred Zimbabwean Blue Neck (Struthio camelus australis) ostriches and the progeny of Zimbabwean Blue Neck males crossed with South Afric...

In male mammals, the X and Y chromosomes are transcriptionally silenced in primary spermatocytes by meiotic sex chromosome inactivation (MSCI) and remain repressed for the duration of spermatogenesis. Here, we test the longstanding hypothesis that disrupted MSCI might contribute to the preferential sterility of heterogametic hybrid males. We studied a cross between wild-derived inbred strains o...

In this paper, the notion of closure operators of matroids  is generalized to fuzzy setting  which is called $M$-fuzzifying closure operators, and some properties of $M$-fuzzifying closure operators are discussed. The $M$-fuzzifying matroid induced by an $M$-fuzzifying closure operator can induce an $M$-fuzzifying closure operator. Finally, the characterizations of $M$-fuzzifying acyclic matroi...

In this paper, we introduce some properties of an intuitionistic normal fuzzy m-subgroup of m- group with m-homomorphism and isomorphism. We study he image, the pre-image and the inverse mapping of the intuitionistic normal fuzzy m-‎subgroups.‎
