Future Generations and Genetic Enhancement (work in progress)

چکیده
This chapter will cut to the core of the main topic of my dissertation by analyzing the way in which enhancing technologies that are aimed at modifying the genome or gene expression of the individuals within the present generation may influence the potential interests of future generations. So far, my strategy has been to clarify my working concepts which are recurrent and of great significance in the literature –, investigate their moral underpinning and afterwards realign them in such a way as to address the question that is really at stake here: how should genetic interventions be distributed among the current people without disregarding the well-being of future generations?

Optimization of Heat Transfer Enhancement of a Flat Plate Based on Pareto Genetic Algorithm
A quad inserted into a turbulent boundary layer of a flat plate and its effect on average heat transfer and the friction coefficient is studied. To optimize this effect, the edge sizes and distance of the quad from the flat plate are continually modified. In each case, simultaneously the heat transfer enhancement and reduction in skin friction are analyzed. For optimization, the genetic algorit...
متن کاملOPTIMIZATION OF SKELETAL STRUCTURES USING IMPROVED GENETIC ALGORITHM BASED ON PROPOSED SAMPLING SEARCH SPACE IDEA
In this article, by Partitioning of designing space, optimization speed is tried to be increased by GA. To this end, designing space search is done in two steps which are global search and local search. To achieve this goal, according to meshing in FEM, firstly, the list of sections is divided to specific subsets. Then, intermediate member of each subset, as representative of subset, is defined...
متن کاملComparison of Ordinary and Restricted Selection Indices on Genetic Gain of Body Weight in Iranian Moghani Sheep
The effect of ordinary and restricted selection indices on body weight at different ages changes in birth weight of Iranian Moghani sheep was studied. Traits in the aggregate genotype were birth weight (BW), body weights at 3 (BW3) and 12 months of age (BW12). Two ordinary selection indices (I1 and I2) and two restricted selection indices (R1 and R2) were constructed. BW and BW3 were included i...
متن کاملTransient Stability Enhancement in Microgrids Including Inverter Interfaced Distributed Generations
With increasing the presence of Microgrids (MGs) in the power systems, investigating the MG stability during transient faults is necessary. This study investigates the transient stability analysis of a MG supplied by multiple inverter interfaced distributed generations (IIDGs) during fault. The transient stability of a MG is highly depends on the IIDGs control strategy. A MG, simulated on Matla...
متن کاملAccuracy of Genomic Prediction under Different Genetic Architectures and Estimation Methods
The accuracy of genomic breeding value prediction was investigated in various levels of reference population size, trait heritability and the number of quantitative trait locus (QTL). Five Bayesian methods, including Bayesian Ridge regression, BayesA, BayesB, BayesC and Bayesian LASSO, were used to estimate the marker effects for each of 27 scenarios resulted from combining three levels for her...
