Despite its importance to agriculture, the genetic basis of heterosis is still not well understood. The main competing hypotheses include dominance, overdominance and epistasis. NC Design III is an experimental design that has been used for estimating the average degree of dominance of QTL and also for studying heterosis. In this study, we first develop a multiple interval mapping model (MIM) f...

A delay in the onset of isoniazid-induced convulsions was found in rats pretreated with the beta 2-adrenoceptor blocker, butoxamine and the nonspecific beta-blocker, propranolol. In these animals the convulsive responses were inhibited in a dose dependent manner. These compounds were found to be effective even after the induction of convulsions. The beta 1-blocker, acebutolol was able to protec...

In this report we discuss the problem of separating the sum of chaotic signals into the individual components with a procedure of backward iteration of the mapping equations describing the chaotic sources. We show that the proposed approach has good stability in respect to additive external noise.

In this paper we prove the following result. Let R be a 6−torsion free semiprime ∗−ring and let D : R → R be an additive mapping satisfying the relation D(xyx) = D(x)y∗x∗ + xD(y)x∗ + xyD(x), for all pairs x, y ∈ R. In this case D is a Jordan ∗−derivation. Mathematics Subject Classification: 16W10, 39B05

The purpose of this paper is to prove the following result: Let R be a 2torsion free semiprime ring and let T : R → R be an additive mapping, such that 2T (x) = T (x)x + xT (x) holds for all x ∈ R. In this case T is left and right centralizer.
