For estimation of dominance effects and dominance variance, the inverse of a dominance relationship matrix is required. Dominance effects can be partitioned into sire x dam or sire x maternal grandsire subclass effects that are inherited and residuals within subclass that are not inherited. The subclass effects have immediate use in predicting performance of offspring from prospective matings. ...

Plant responses to stress occur via abscisic acid (ABA) dependent or independent pathways. Sucrose non-fermenting1-related protein kinase 2 (SnRK2) play a key role in plant stress signal transduction pathways. It is known that some SnRK2 members are positive regulators of ABA signal transduction through interaction with group A type 2C protein phosphatases (PP2Cs). Here, 10 SnRK2s were isolated...

The aim of this study was to investigate measles-specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) subclass profile in vaccinated children and in adults with natural infection. Serum samples were collected before and 30 days after vaccination. The sera from 51 late convalescent adults and seven adults with natural measles infection at the 12th day after onset of rash have been also investigated. Measles IgG anti...

UNLABELLED Pemphigus are autoimmune intraepidermal blistering diseases in which immunoglobulin G (IgG) autoantibodies are directed against desmosomal glycoproteins. The aim of this study was to determine the IgG subclass profile of endemic pemphigus foliaceus (fogo selvagem) and pemphigus vulgaris utilizing indirect immunofluorescence. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty-five patients with pemphigus ...

A subclass of the class of circulant graphs is considered. It is shown that in this subclass, isomorphism is equivalent to Adam-isomorphism. Various results are obtained for the chromatic number, line-transitivity and the diameter.

Total immunoglobulin G (IgG) and subclasses were measured in serum samples from 82 children with chronic asthma, aged 1.5 to 6.3 years, and 76 controls. Concentrations of IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and total IgG were significantly lower in asthmatic children aged 1 to 5, and IgG2 concentrations were also significantly lower in asthmatic children over 5 years of age. Twenty eight asthmatic children had a...

Part I of this paper introduced the hyperbolic class (HC) of quadratic/bilinear time-frequency representations (QTFR’s) as a new framework for constant-Q time-frequency analysis. The present Part II defines and studies the following four subclasses of the HC: • The localized-kernel subclass of the HC is related to a timefrequency concentration property of QTFR’s. It is analogous to the localize...

‎In the present investigation‎, ‎we give the best estimates for the norm of the pre-Schwarzian derivative $ T_{f}(z)=dfrac{f^{''}(z)}{f^{'}(z)} $ for bi-starlike functions and a new subclass of bi-univalent functions of order $ alpha $‎, ‎where‎ ‎$Vert T_{f} Vert= sup_{|z|

We consider the class of polynomial differential equation x&= , 2(,)(,)(,)nnmnmPxyPxyPxy++++2(,)(,)(,)nnmnmyQxyQxyQxy++&=++. For where and are homogeneous polynomials of degree i. Inside this class of polynomial differential equation we consider a subclass of Darboux integrable systems. Moreover, under additional conditions we proved such Darboux integrable systems can have at most 1 limit cycle.

In this talk we discuss and characterize multivariate geometric distributions with lack-of-memory (LM) property. First, a multivariate extension of the univariate geometric law is derived using a discrete analogue of the Marshall-Olkin exponential “shock model”. It is shown that only the subclass of multivariate LM distributions with positively correlated components can be obtained in this way....
