We used 179,485 Yorkshire reproductive and 239,354 Yorkshire growth records to estimate additive and dominance variances by Method Fraktur R. Estimates were obtained for number born alive (NBA), 21-d litter weight (LWT), days to 104.5 kg (DAYS), and backfat at 104.5 kg (BF). The single-trait models for NBA and LWT included the fixed effects of contemporary group and regression on inbreeding per...

Genomic evaluation models can fit additive and dominant SNP effects. Under quantitative genetics theory, additive or "breeding" values of individuals are generated by substitution effects, which involve both "biological" additive and dominant effects of the markers. Dominance deviations include only a portion of the biological dominant effects of the markers. Additive variance includes variatio...

We prove a central limit theorem for an additive functional of the d-dimensional fractional Brownian motion with Hurst index H ∈ ( 1 d+2 , 1 d ), using the method of moments, extending the result by Papanicolaou, Stroock and Varadhan in the case of the standard Brownian motion.

Let R be a prime ring, H a generalized derivation of R and L a noncommutative Lie ideal of R. Suppose that usH(u)ut = 0 for all u ∈ L, where s ≥ 0, t ≥ 0 are fixed integers. Then H(x) = 0 for all x ∈ R unless char R = 2 and R satisfies S4, the standard identity in four variables. Let R be an associative ring with center Z(R). For x, y ∈ R, the commutator xy− yx will be denoted by [x, y]. An add...

a 42-d trial was conducted to compare the effects of probiotic, prebiotic and synbiotic supplements on growth performance, morphology of the jejunum, serum lipid profile and antibody response of broiler chickens. a total of 400 one-d-old male broiler chicks were randomly divided into four treatment groups of four replicates (25 birds per replicate) and fed corn-soybean meal diets. the dietary t...

This paper is an attempt to prove the following result:Let $n>1$ be an integer and let $mathcal{R}$ be a $n!$-torsion-free ring with the identity element. Suppose that $d, delta, varepsilon$ are additive mappings satisfyingbegin{equation}d(x^n) = sum^{n}_{j=1}x^{n-j}d(x)x^{j-1}+sum^{n-1}_{j=1}sum^{j}_{i=1}x^{n-1-j}Big(delta(x)x^{j-i}varepsilon(x)+varepsilon(x)x^{j-i}delta(x)Big)x^{i-1}quadend{e...

In line with the development of a theme of a classical paper by D. K. Faddeev, motivic extensions of certain additive categories are studied.

We determine the minimal number $\Gamma ^*(d, K)$ of variables which guarantees a nontrivial solution for every additive form degree $d=2m$, $m$ odd, $m \ge 3$ over six ramified quadratic extensions $\mathbb {Q}_2$. prove that if $K$ is one o

Let G be an unweighted, undirected graph. An additive k-spanner of G is a subgraph H that approximates all distances between pairs of nodes up to an additive error of +k, that is, it satisfies dH(u, v) ≤ dG(u, v) + k for all nodes u, v, where d is the shortest path distance. We give a deterministic algorithm that constructs an additive O(1)-spanner with O ( n4/3 ) edges in O ( n2 ) time. This s...

The concept of entanglement is the key for quantum information processing. To quantify the resource of entanglement, its measures should be additive, such as bits for classical information. One candidate for such additive measures is entanglement of formation. In [1], it is shown that the entanglement cost Ec to create some state can be asymptotically calculated from the entanglement of formati...
