RANDOM REGRESSION MODELS FOR ESTIMATION OF COVARIANCE FUNCTIONS, GENETIC PARAMETERS AND PREDICTION OF BREEDING VALUES FOR RIB EYE AREA IN A COLOMBIAN BOS INDICUS-BOS TAURUS MULTIBREED CATTLE POPULATION

In this paper we present an application of random regression models (RRM) to obtain restricted maximum likelihood estimates of covariance functions and predictions of breeding values for longitudinal records of rib eye area measured by ultrasound (REA) in a Colombian multibreed cattle population.The dataset contained 708 records from 340 calves pro

Abstract In order to study the effects of four chickpea cultivar (Cicer arietinum L.) on vegetative growth of sunflower (Helianthus annus) and corn (Zea mays), two separate experiments was conducted at Research Greenhouse of Ferdowsi University of Mashhad in 2005.Experiments were done in a factorial arrangement of treatments with two factors based

Abstract Background Kaffa, Sheka and Bench Maji zones of Southern Ethiopia are high honey production areas with dense forest coverage.However, due to the traditional production system, the productivity per hive is low.To exploit this production potential in these zones by increasing productivity per hive, terramycin scour tablets different governme

By the advent of the Bauhaus, the notion of design did engage in a two-track operation.Without dissociating itself from themes central to the formation of the architectural discipline, the concept of design, on the one hand, had to recode and at times delete thematic that had attained visibility in the context of labour and skills that were not sus
