The reliability of genomic breeding values (DGV) decays over generations. To keep the DGV reliability at a constant level, the reference population (RP) has to be continuously updated with animals from new generations. Updating RP may be challenging due to economic reasons, especially for novel traits involving expensive phenotyping. Therefore, the goal of this study was to investigate a minima...

MCMC algorithm. We describe the MCMC algorithm in detail here. For updating the selection parameters γiν and regression coefficients βiν , i = 1, . . . , N, ν = 1, . . . , V , we first generate number of subjects n from from Poisson distribution with mean parameter N/2, with N the total number of subjects. If 0 < n ≤ N , then we stop and select n subjects with simple random sampling method with...

An adaptive system performs the processing by using an architecture having time-varying parameters on the received signals which accompanies with clutters. In this paper, an adaptive moving target detector has been designed to meet the challenges of target detection amidst various levels of clutter environments. The approach has been used that is able to overcome the inherent limitations of con...

This paper extends the recently introduced variable step-size (VSS) approach to the family of adaptive filter algorithms. This method uses prior knowledge of the channel impulse response statistic. Accordingly, optimal stepsize vector is obtained by minimizing the mean-square deviation (MSD). The presented algorithms are the VSS affine projection algorithm (VSS-APA), the VSS selective partial u...

Surface-piercing propellers have been widely used in light and high-speed vessels because of their superior performance. One of the major steps in propeller selection algorithm is the determination of thrust as well as torque hydrodynamic coefficients. For the purpose of simplifying design and selection procedure, some relations are presented for determining hydrodynamic coefficients in some st...
