Equations for predicting the meat, fat and bone proportions in beef carcasses using the European Union carcass classification scores for conformation and fatness, and hindquarter composition were developed and their accuracy was tested using data from 662 cattle. The animals included bulls, steers and heifers, and comprised of Holstein-Friesian, early- and late-maturing breeds × Holstein-Friesi...

Multi-environment trials (METs) are essential in plant breeding programs to evaluate crop productivity and adaptability diverse environments. In this study, we demonstrated the practical use of METs grain yield yield-related traits using 276 Korean rice cultivars, divided into three maturity groups (81 early-, 90 medium-, 105 medium–late-maturing cultivars) grown regions (Jeonju, Suwon, Miryang...

OBJECTIVE Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies have demonstrated acute white matter changes following prolonged febrile seizures (PFS), but their longer-term evolution is unknown. We investigated a population-based cohort to determine white matter diffusion properties 8 years after PFS. METHODS We used diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and applied Tract-Based Spatial Statistics for...

These experimental fields bel...

Cotton seed production is the main form of agriculture in Xinjiang, China. Unreasonable distribution cotton results a waste water, land, and human resources. In this study, we established hierarchical classification integrating method; investigated spatial suitability climate, land water resources, infrastructure; examined risk planting history; integrated history to produce layout for early-ma...

Six reproductive classes of male Oligosarcus hepsetus (Cuvier, 1829), a medium-sized carnivorous Characiform species, are described based on macroscopic and histological techniques. A total of 175 individuals were caught monthly between April 2001 and June 2002 in the Lajes Reservoir, Brazil, one of the largest impoundment areas in the state of Rio de Janeiro. The reproductive classes were base...
