Def in i t ion of Group Effects in Sire Evaluat ion Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
Group effects are used in sire evaluation models to account for genetic trend. The objective of this paper was to develop definitions of these group effects where sires are related. Definitions were obtained for sire groups from results of a set of modified mixed model equations. Definitions were functions of genetic selection differentials. Definitions were dependent on the matrix of numerator relationships. Simulation of 10,000 replicates of a particular populat ion structure was used to evaluate definitions. Three models with different relationship matrices were fit to the data for each replicate. Group solutions were compared to hypothesized group effects computed from realized genetic selection differentials in each replicate. There was close agreement between group solutions and corresponding hypothesized effects.

متن کاملSelf-Fields Effects on Gain in a Helical Wiggler Free Electron Laser with Ion-Channel Guiding and Axial Magnetic Field
In this paper, we have investigated the effects of self-fields on gain in a helical wiggler free electron laser with axial magnetic field and ion-channel guiding. The self-electric and self-magnetic fields of a relativistic electron beam passing through a helical wiggler are analyzed. The electron trajectories and the small signal gain are derived. Numerical investigation is shown that for grou...

In this work, several machine learning techniques are presented for nanofiltration modeling. According to the results, specific errors are defined. The rejection due to Nanofiltration increases with pressure but decreases with increasing the concentration of chloride ion. Methods of machine learning represent the rejection of nanofiltration as a function of concentration, pH, pressure and also ...

Although inter-variety variability for salt tolerance has been reported in bread wheat plants, little information is available on the genetic control of ion contents and biomass yield under saline conditions. A diallel cross, including reciprocals of two salt tolerant, two moderately tolerant and two sensitive Iranian and exotic bread wheat varieties, was analyzed to investigate the inheritance...
