The present study was conducted with the aim of comparing personality traits among athletic Iranian and non-Iranian students studying at Imam Khomeini International University, Qazvin. 280 athletic Iranian and non-Iranian students (130 Iranians, 40 Syrians, 80 Afghans, and 30 Yemenis) were picked using Stratified Random Sampling method, and they completed NEO-FFI (a shortened form of revised bi...

This study examines genomic prediction within 8416 Mexican landrace accessions and 2403 Iranian landrace accessions stored in gene banks. The Mexican and Iranian collections were evaluated in separate field trials, including an optimum environment for several traits, and in two separate environments (drought, D and heat, H) for the highly heritable traits, days to heading (DTH), and days to mat...

Recent political events in the United States have created a political climate that promotes prejudice against Middle Eastern, Iranian, and Muslim people. In this study, we were interested in investigating two questions: (1) How welcome do Iranian-American men and women from various religious backgrounds (Muslim, Jewish, or no religious affiliation) feel in their new homeland (specifically, how ...

productive and reproductive traits have great importance in international dairy cattle breeding objectives. production, reproduction (days open and calving interval) and pedigree data of iranian holstein dairy cattles were collected between 2002 and 2012 from 47 herds in isfahan province. the data set consisted of 30179 records from 18837 registered iranianholstein dairy cattles. single trait r...

Iranian native hens are a valuable genetic resource, due to their adaptability to harsh conditions of husbandry and environment in rural area. The genetic parameters for various traits of economic importance were studied in an Iranian Native chicken population under short term selection for egg production and body weight for over 2 years. The parameters studied were body weight at day old (BW1)...

In order to estimate genetic parameters for production traits and reproductive performance, 115 465 records of production traits and 90 942 records of reproductive performance from Iranian Holstein cows that were collected during 1980 to 2004 at Animal Breeding Center of Iran, were used. The estimations were performed using Restricted Maximum Likelihood method (REML) under an animal model by DF...
