A complex binary trait is a character that has a dichotomous expression but with a polygenic genetic background. Mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL) for such traits is difficult because of the discrete nature and the reduced variation in the phenotypic distribution. Bayesian statistics are proved to be a powerful tool for solving complicated genetic problems, such as multiple QTL with nonaddi...

in this paper, a new stage structured prey-predator model with linear functional response is proposed and studied. the stages for prey have been considered. the proposed mathematical model consists of three nonlinear ordinary differential equations to describe the interaction among juvenile prey, adult prey and predator populations. the model is analyzed by using linear stability analysis to ob...

It has been suggested that the long-lived residual radial velocity variations observed in the precision radial velocity measurements of the primary of γ Cephei (HR8974, HD222404, HIP116727) are likely due to a Jupiter-like planet around this star (Hatzes et al. 2003). In this paper, the orbital dynamics of this plant is studied and also the possibility of the existence of a hypothetical Earth-l...

We measured the system-integrated thermal emission of the binary Kuiper Belt Object (47171) 1999 TC 36 at wavelengths near 24 and 70 µm using the Spitzer space telescope. We fit these data and the visual magnitude using both the Standard Thermal Model and thermophysical models. We find that the effective diameter of the binary is 405 km, with a range of 350 – 470 km, and the effective visible g...

In this work, we develop a correlative model based on the surface tension data in order to calculate thermodynamic parameters, such as interaction energy between components (Uij), activity coefficients and etc. In the new approach, by using Li et al. (LWW) model, a three-parameter surface tension equation is derived for liquid mixtures. The surface tension data of 54 aqueous and 73 non-aqueous ...

in a structural time series regression model, binary variables have been used to quantify qualitative or categorical quantitative events such as politic and economic structural breaks, regions, age groups and etc. the use of the binary dummy variables is not reasonable because the effect of an event decreases (increases) gradually over time not at once. the simple and basic idea in this paper i...

the adoption of food safety systems (fsss) is of major significance in the food industry, and that approach is especially of more promience in dairy and meat processing firms. in this study the aim was to introduce the factors affecting the probability of adoption of fsss in the dairy and the meat processing plants in aydin, western turkey. it was observed that ten out of twenty-eight dairy bus...

in many industrial and non-industrial applications the quality of a process or product is characterized by a relationship between a response variable and one or more explanatory variables. this relationship is referred to as profile. in the past decade, profile monitoring has been extensively studied under the normal response variable, but it has paid a little attention to the profile with the ...

in hard disk drives (hdd), it is necessary to decrease the flying height (fh) between the head and the disk (currently, fh is around 3-5 nm) so as to increase recording densities. retaining the solid lubricant has become a difficult proposition owing to intermittent contact between the surfaces. ztmd and z are used as solid lubricant to lubricate these interfaces. in this paper, the behavior of...

this paper aims to investigate the effect of budget deficit shock on government spending in indonesia. for this propose, this reasearch uses an alternative error correction model based on loss function of government spending. the model assumes the short run disequilibrium, in which shock variables may play an important role. a spesific loss function model is applied to develop the long run gove...
