The Quarter-Horses regularly participate in non-traditional sports that simulate activities on cattle ranches. In the vaquejada races, horses run at about 30 km/h, reaching maximum heart rates of around 200 bpm, indicating great physical effort during competitions and with could impact welfare. To test hypothesis can be evaluated for quality welfare through a combination non-invasive invasive m...

purpose many factors influence athletes’ performance including anthropometric, physiological and environmental parameters. high altitude is characterized by adverse environmental conditions that are not found at sea level. we investigated the influence of some anthropometric and physiological factors on performance in the context of the mount cameroon race of hope. methods age, height, weight, ...

<i>Xanthomonas campestris</i> pv. <i>campestris</i> (<i>Xcc</i>) is a plant pathogen of Brassica crops that causes black rot disease throughout the world. At present, 11 physiological races <i>Xcc</i> (races 1-11) have been reported. The conventional method using differential cultivars for race detection not accurate and it laborious time-consumin...

Evolutionary car racing (ECR) is extended to the case of two cars racing on the same track. A sensor representation is devised, and various methods of evolving car controllers for competitive racing are explored. ECR can be combined with co-evolution in a wide variety of ways, and one aspect which is explored here is the relative-absolute fitness continuum. Systematical behavioural differences ...

The two races of Drosophila pseudoobscura, known as race A and race B, produce sterile male offspring when crossed (LANCEFIELD 1929), have visibly different shapes of the Y chromosomes (DOBZHANSKY and BOCHE 1933), and differ in their physiological characteristics (POULSON 1934, DOBZHANSKY 1935a, BOCHE unpublished). They appear, however, indistinguishable morphologically. LANCEFIELD (1929) and K...
