A study was conducted to determine gene actions controlling yield and other qualitative traits of tomato (Lycopersicon lycopersicum) as well combining ability among selected genotypes at the Teaching Research Farm Ladoke Akintola University Technology, Ogbomoso during 2017 2018 cropping seasons. Five ten offspring (F1), obtained from a 5×5 diallel crosses were sown in plots, arranged Randomized...

When male mice from inbred PHH (sex ratio .535) and PHL (.435) are mated to females of various inbred lines, the sex ratio follows the male parent. The sex ratios from litters sired by reciprocal cross F1 males (letting A represent a set of autosomes) are 0.510 from AH/AL, XL/YH and 0.469 from AH/AL, XH/YL. The difference is statistically significant but only half the difference between pure st...

We propose and analyze a Multilevel Richardson-Romberg (ML2R) estimator which combines the higher order bias cancellation of the Multistep Richardson-Romberg method introduced in [Pag07] and the variance control resulting from the stratification introduced in the Multilevel Monte Carlo (MLMC) method (see [Gil08, Hei01]). Thus, in standard frameworks like discretization schemes of diffusion proc...

The influence of supplemental Met levels ranging from 413 to 556 mg per hen per d (mg/HD) on liquid egg component yield, composition, and functionality was examined in mature layers (29 wk of age). Egg weight, component yield, solids, and CP content of albumen and yolk were determined. Texture profile analysis, feed ingredient functionality testing, and PAGE were conducted to determine whether ...

There is an urgent need for a rapid diagnostic system to detect the H5 subtype of the influenza A virus. We previously developed monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against the H5 hemagglutinin (HA) for use in a rapid diagnostic kit. In this study, we determined the epitopes of the anti-H5 HA murine mAbs OM-b, AY-2C2, and YH-1A1. Binding assays of the mAbs to different strains of H5 HAs indicated that...
