Comparison of two QTL mapping approaches based on Bayesian inference using high-dense SNPs markers
To compare different QTL mapping methods, a population with genotypic and phenotypic data was simulated. In Bayesian approach, all information of markers can be used along with combination of distributions of SNP markers. It is assumed that most of the markers (95%) have minor effects and a few numbers of markers (5%) exert major effects. The simulated population included a basic population of ...
متن کاملIvestigation of Entropy Generation in 3-D Laminar Forced Convection Flow over a Backward Facing Step with Bleeding
A numerical investigation of entropy generation in laminar forced convection of gas flow over a backward facing step in a horizontal duct under bleeding condition is presented. For calculation of entropy generation from the second law of thermodynamics in a forced convection flow, the velocity and temperature distributions are primary needed. For this purpose, the three-dimensional Cartesian co...
متن کاملSelf-similar earthquake triggering, Båth’s law, and foreshock/aftershock magnitudes: Simulations, theory, and results for southern California
[1] Båth’s law, the observation that the largest aftershock is, on average, 1.2 magnitudes smaller than its main shock, independent of main shock size, suggests some degree of self-similarity in earthquake triggering. This behavior can largely be explained with triggering models in which the increased triggering caused by larger magnitude events is exactly compensated for by their decreased num...
متن کاملConstraints on the Size of the Smallest Triggering Earthquake from the ETAS Model, B̊ath’s Law, and Observed Aftershock Sequences
The physics of earthquake triggering together with simple assumptions of self-similarity impose the existence of a minimum magnitude m0 below which earthquakes do not trigger other earthquakes. Noting that the magnitude md of completeness of seismic catalogs has no reason to be the same as the magnitude m0 of the smallest triggering earthquake, we use quantitative fits and maximum likelihood in...
متن کاملBranching Random Walks and Their Applications to Population Studies
Recent investigations have demonstrated that continuous-time branching random walks on multidimensional lattices give an important example of stochastic models in which the evolutionary processes depend on the structure of a medium and the spatial dynamics. It is convenient to describe such processes in terms of birth, death, and walks of particles on the lattice. The structure of a medium is d...
