domestication of animals has had some important effects on physiology, morphology, behavior and well-being of domesticated animals. conscious or goal directed selections on animals for increasing their productions has accelerated the rate of the changes, leading to some well-being defections. this paper notes some aspects of animal domestication in context of genetic science. then explains how ...

autoselection is a kind of natural selection, that occurs in reproductive traits by inequality of offspring generation and therefore by virtue of the nature of its genes transmission to next generations. in this study, the effects of autoselection on heritability and selection response in reproductive traits by using univariate stochastic computer simulation in artificial selected and unselecte...

considering the importance of cd and u as pollutants of the environment, this study aims to predict the concentrations of these elements in a stream sediment from the eshtehard region in iran by means of a developed artificial neural network (ann) model. the forward selection (fs) method is used to select the input variables and develop hybrid models by ann. from 45 input candidates, 13 and 14 ...

owing to reduction of sturgeon stocks in various water bodies, artificial propagation has become significantly important for stock restoration and appropriate broodstock selection is vital in this process. selection of suitable broodstocks may influence the quality and quantity of obtained eggs and larva. the present study aimed to examine correlation between some morphometric and reproductive ...

Groundwater is among the most important resources of drinking water supply ofthe worldwide population. Use of recharge area is one of the methods for artificiallyrecharging groundwater. Selection of suitable sites for artificial recharge is very importantand must be carried out accurately. There are different types of land use, only rangelandsare appropriate for artificial recharge because of t...

the success of artificial recharge schemes requires the identification of suitable site. the use of fuzzy set theory in site selection projects allows the decision-makers to incorporate unquantifiable information into decision model. in this paper, site selection of artificial groundwater recharges using an integrated method of fuzzy topsis and ahp has been done in raster environment of gis. th...

since most common form of cervical cancer starts with pre-cancerous changes, a flawless detection of these changes becomes an important issue to prevent and treat the cervix cancer. there are 2 ways to stop this disease from developing. one way is to find and treat pre-cancers before they become true cancers, and the other is to prevent the pre-cancers in the first place. the presented approach...

in the software development process, testing is one of the most human intensive steps. many researchers try to automate test case generation to reduce the manual labor of this step. negative selection is a famous algorithm in the field of artificial immune system (ais) and many different applications has been developed using its idea. in this paper we have designed a new algorithm based on nega...
