Major Advances in Genetic Evaluation Techniques

Major advances in genetic evaluation techniques.

The past quarter-century in genetic evaluation of dairy cattle has been marked by evolution in methodology and computer capacity, expansion in the array of evaluated traits, and globalization. Animal models replaced sire and sire-maternal grandsire models and, more recently, application of Bayesian theory has become standard. Individual test-day observations have been used more effectively in e...

advances in proteomics analytical techniques

proteins are fundamental components of cells which mediate many essential biological processes. proteomics is a rapidly growing field for the study of proteome, the protein complement expressed by the genome of an organism or cell type. the large-scale analysis of proteins leads to a more comprehensive view of molecular and cellular pathways that improves the overall understanding of the comple...

Advances in Hemodialysis Techniques

Hemodialysis treatment is provided for critically ill patients with acute kidney injury as in‐ patient therapy. More commonly, HD is routinely provided for stable patients with endstage renal failure (ESRF) as an outpatient therapy conducted in a dialysis outpatient facility, either a purpose built room in a hospital or a dedicated stand-alone clinic. Less fre‐ quently HD is done at home, where...

recent major advances in tunneling methods

the conventional tunneling procedures for example drilling, charging, blasting, loading and supporting, are highly developed. new tunneling machines have recently come into operation and others are under construction or development. impactors are used in large numbers in the coal mining industry. face-heading machines are successfully used in new tunneling procedures in both soft and medium-har...
