Image processing technique was used to compare udder morphological characteristics in two Iranian crossbred sheep populations including Ghezel-Arkhamerino, Moghani-Arkharmerino and a pure one that was Ghezel ewes. In addition, the resulted measurements were applied as independent variables for estimation of daily milk yield by regression models. Udder height of Ghezel was higher than Ghezel-Ark...

Data collected in 2012 on 400 chickens were subjected to two-way analyses of variance to estimatebody weight, morphometric traits as well as the correlationbetween body weight and morphometric traitsin Isa Brown and Ilorin ecotypechickens. The studied morphometric traits were comb length, beak length,head length, neck length, body length, wing length, shank length, thigh length, toe length, bre...

In order to estimate genetic parameters for body weights and carcass yield of 2 strains of quails; 32 pairs of Japanese quail (coturnix Japanese) and 26 pairs of range quail (coturnix ypisilophorus) randomly were selected from the base populations of parents. Produced progenies (650 birds) were used to estimate the genetic parameters of body weights and carcass characteristics traits. Body weig...

In 2021, measurements were done at two international provenance research trials for silver fir originating from the same series of experiments. The investigation was carried out in location Vítkov and Úsov, where both established. Biometric data (tree height, diameter breast height) measured qualitative traits (stem shape, occurrence stem forking, damage, bark pattern, defoliation) assess...

Body composition and meat quality traits are important economic traits of chickens. The development of high-throughput genotyping platforms and relevant statistical methods have enabled genome-wide association studies in chickens. In order to identify molecular markers and candidate genes associated with body composition and meat quality traits, genome-wide association studies were conducted us...

In line with attempts to find superior performance using multimodal biometric systems, different methods of fusing individual biometric data have been attempted. As noted from previous chapters, the performance of individual biometric systems has been improved by refinements in feature extraction methods. In order to achieve the maximum possible accuracy out of authentication process, scores fr...

background: breast cancer is third order malignancy in women among other malignancies.   various studies showed that incidence of breast cancer can be lower down by early detection of breast cancer. mammographic screening is considered more effective modality in detecting early stage breast cancer in women who are at elevated risk for breast cancer. the aim of this study is to report the result...

OBJECTIVE Elevated inflammation predicts behavioral symptoms, disease progression, and mortality in patients with breast cancer and breast cancer survivors, although predictors of inflammation remain largely unknown. Adverse experiences in childhood have been associated with higher rates of psychological and physical illness, and elevated inflammatory activity in studies of healthy adults. Howe...

Increasing risks of spoof attacks and other common problems of unimodal biometric systems such as intra-class variations, nonuniversality and noisy data necessitate the use of multimodal biometrics. The face and the ear are highly attractive biometric traits for combination because of their physiological structure and location. Besides, both of them can be acquired non-intrusively. However, cha...
