the objective of this study was to compare the accuracy of estimating and predicting breeding values using two diverse approaches, gblup and bayesc, using simulated data under different quantitative trait locus(qtl) effect distributions. data were simulated with three different distributions for the qtl effect which were uniform, normal and gamma (1.66, 0.4). the number of qtl was assumed to be...

this paper presents the results of a study on the radiation characteristics of a plasma triangular antenna in the vhf band (30-300mhz) applying the method of moment. deriving the current distribution of the antenna, it shows the relationship between radiation characteristics of the plasma antenna and the plasma parameters. both theoretical and numerical results indicate that if the plasma frequ...
