The last three chapters discussed how regulatory and economic principles apply to experiments on feeding, the allocation of time among various activities, and choice between different ways of getting food. But a critical test of any approach is how well it can deal with the way animals behave in nature. It is hard to devise a fair test, of course, because in nature nothing is controlled, and ob...

breeding based on selection indices is an effective method for improving complex traits such as yield. to assess the efficiency of different selection methods, 50 genotypes of tall fescue (festuca arundinace) were evaluated under two moisture conditions including full irrigation (normal environment) and deficit irrigation (stress environment). the experiment was conducted according to a randomi...

 In this paper an applied problem, where the response of interest is the number of success in a specific experiment, is considered and by various visions is studied. The effects of outlier values of response on results of a regression analysis are so important to be studied. For this reason, using diagnostic methods, outlier response values are recognized. It is shown that use of arc-sine ...
