A genome scan for chromosomal regions influencing birth weight was performed using 151 progeny of a single Hereford x composite bull and 170 microsatellite markers spanning 2.497 morgans on 29 bovine autosomes. A QTL was identified at the telomeric end of bovine chromosome 2 (maximum effect at 114 cM) accounting for approximately 2.8 kg of birth weight or 0.64 residual standard deviations (afte...

The genetic length of a genome, in units of Morgans or centimorgans, is a fundamental characteristic of an organism. We propose a maximum likelihood method for estimating this quantity from counts of recombinants and nonrecombinants between marker locus pairs studied from a backcross linkage experiment, assuming no interference and equal chromosome lengths. This method allows the calculation of...

here, a predator-prey model with hassell-varley type functional responses is studied. some sufficient conditions are obtained for the permanence and global asymptotic stability of the system by using comparison theorem and constructing a suitable lyapunov functional. moreover, an example is illustrated to verify the results by simulation.

boujari [5] proved a fixed point theorem with an old version of the integraltype contraction , his proof is incorrect. in this paper, a new generalizationof integral type contraction is introduced. moreover, a fixed point theorem isobtained.

let x ,..., xn 1 be a random sample from a distribution with sample mean x and samplevariance s 2. in this paper we consider certain very general properties of the so-called “z-scores”x x s i n i ( − )/ : = 1,...., . a representation theorem is then given for z-scores obtained from an underlyingnormal population, together with a theorem for their limiting distribution as the sample size tends t...

The existence of infinitely many solutions for an anisotropic discrete non-linear problem with variable exponent according to p(k)–Laplacian operator with Dirichlet boundary value condition, under appropriate behaviors of the non-linear term, is investigated. The technical approach is based on a local minimum theorem for differentiable functionals due to Ricceri. We point out a theorem as a spe...

 A variant of fixed point theorem is proved in the setting of S-metric spaces

Two genetic maps with additive distances contribute information about recombination patterns, recombinogenic sequences, and discovery of genes affecting a particular phenotype. Recombination is measured in morgans (w) over a single generation in a linkage map but may cover thousands of generations in a linkage disequilibrium (LD) map measured in LD units (LDU). We used a subset of single nucleo...
