A genetic map containing 103 microsatellite loci and 200 F2 plants derived from the cross R15 × Ye478 were used for mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTL) in maize (Zea mays L.). QTLs were characterized in a population of 200 F2:4 lines, derived from selfing the F2 plants, and were evaluated with two replications in two environments. QTL mapping analysis of plant height was performed by using...

Intrinsic and extrinsic spin Hall effects are considered together on an equal theoretical footing for the Rashba spin-orbit coupling in two-dimensional 2D electron and hole systems, using the diagrammatic method for calculating the spin Hall conductivity. Our analytic theory for the 2D holes shows the expected lowest-order additive result for the spin Hall conductivity. But, the 2D electrons ma...

Random regression models were used to estimate the types and orders of random effects of (co)variance functions in the description of the growth trajectory of the Simbrasil cattle breed. Records for 7049 animals totaling 18,677 individual weighings were submitted to 15 models from the third to the fifth order including as fixed effects sex, contemporary group, feeding regimen, and type of repro...

Additive, dominance, and additive by additive components of genetic variance and inbreeding depression were estimated for production traits from a group of daughters of young sires from the Canadian Holstein population. First lactations of 92,838 cows were analyzed. Three sire and dam models (additive, additive plus dominance, additive plus dominance plus additive by additive genetic effects), ...

We consider stochastic nonlinear Schrödinger equations driven by an additive noise. The noise is fractional in time with Hurst parameter H in (0, 1). It is also colored in space and the space correlation operator is assumed to be nuclear. We study the local well-posedness of the equation. Under adequate assumptions on the initial data, the space correlations of the noise and for some saturated ...
