the purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of maternal breeding values of the weight of day-old chick chicks in a commercial broiler line with egg traits including yolk fatty acids. maternal breeding values of 63 hens of known pedigree were estimated through an animal model, containing direct additive genetic effect, maternal additive genetic effect, maternal common environme...

Atopic dermatitis (AD), which is known as the most common pruritic skin disease, is caused by epidermal barrier dysfunction, allergies, microwave radiation, histamine intolerance, and genetic defects. To investigate the therapeutic effects of fermented soycrud (FSC) on AD pathology, alteration of AD phenotypes induced by phthalic anhydride (PA) treatment was assessed by ear thickness analysis, ...

Fast parallel algorithms are given for the longest common subsequence problem and the string editing problem with bounded weights. In the COMMON PRAM model, the algorithm for the longest common subse-quence problem takes time O(log m), where m is the length of the shorter string, while the algorithm for the string editing problem with bounded weights takes time O(max(log m; log n= log log n)), ...

In this paper we consider estimating heterogeneity variance with the DerSimonian-Laird (DSL) estimator as typically used in meta-analysis. In its general form the DSL estimator requires inverse population-averaged study-specific variances as weights, in which case the estimator is unbiased. It has become common practice, however, to use estimates of the study-specific variances instead of their...

This work addresses the problem of in-the-dark traffic classification for TCP sessions, an important problem in network management. An innovative use of support vector machines (SVMs) with a spectrum representation of packet flows is demonstrated to provide a highly accurate, fast, and robust method for classifying common application protocols. The use of a linear kernel allows for an analysis ...

a camel research station was established in 1990 at the central desert land of iran named kavir-e-loot, to evaluate productivity performance of one humped camel. the data consisted of birth weights (bw), three (w3), six (w6), nine (w9) months and yearling (w12) body weight of animals and the pedigree was registered during a period of 14 years since 1991 to 2004. the body weight traits of birth,...

Due to the complexity and uncertainty involved in real world decision problems, determination interpretation of Decision Makers' preference relations remain a challenging task for them. This paper develops novel procedure incorporating information efficiency analysis Making Units. The Units is defined spirit Data Envelopment Analysis, complemented with Maker's information. Our begins by aiding ...

In this paper quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC) methods are applied to a class of elliptic partial differential equations (PDEs) with random coefficients, where the random coefficient is parametrized by a countably infinite number of terms in a Karhunen-Loève expansion. Models of this kind appear frequently in numerical models of physical systems, and in uncertainty quantification. The method uses a QMC ...

Data on past and current decisions can be utilised to enhance the decision-making process by automating or making problem solving more intuitive. is either extracted from distributed sources repositories, obtained with regression analysis holistically assessed alternatives human judgements. One of possible advanced approaches encourage intuitive aims at inferring criteria weights decision model...
