Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Single and Combined Effect of MC4R and GH Genes on Productive Traits of PigsLyubov Getmantseva, Maria Leonova, Aleksander Usatov et al.The aim of our work is to identify the single and combined effect of MC4R and GH polymorphism genes on growth and reproduction traits of pigs. The study was carried out on 204 crossbred F1 females (♀Landrace х ♂Large White) of the Breeding Farm in Russia. The analyzed productive traits were: The number of Days to 100-kg (Days to 100 … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 18 Jan 2017 · 8,119 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of a Mushroom (Coriolus versicolor) Based Probiotic on Goat HealthKingsley Ekwemalor, Emmanuel Asiamah, Sarah Adjei-Fremah, Mulumebet WorkuMaintenance of an adequate immune response is essential to goat health. CorPet biomass is a mushroom (Coriolus versicolor) based probiotic used as an immune-stimulant in man, horses and small animals. Fifteen BoerXSpanish goats were used in a crossover design to evaluate the effect of a commercial mushroom based probiotic across two periods on resilience of goats to gastrointestinal parasites in … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 4 Oct 2016 · 7,925 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractParameter Settings for New Generational Genetic Algorithms for Solving Global Optimization ProblemsSiew Mooi Lim, Md. Nasir Sulaiman, Norwati Mustapha, Abu Bakar Md. SultanThis study operates within experimental design with two main tools of Taguchi method namely orthogonal array and signal to noise ratio to discover the optimal parameter settings for newly proposed generational genetic algorithms; they are Laplace Crossover-Scale Truncated Pareto Mutation (LX-STPM) and Rayleigh Crossover-Scale Truncated Pareto Mutation (RX-STPM). It concluded that GA parameter settings are algorithms and problems dependent. …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 11 · 7 Jan 2016 · 6,410 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractAre we Able to Harness the Immunomodulatory Power of Cytokines for Novel Autoimmune Disease Treatments?Giuseppe Nocentini, Graziella Migliorati, Carlo RiccardiSince the end of the 1970s, interleukin 2 (IL-2) has been known as a key player in T cell expansion/activation (Watson et al., 1980). In the late 1980s, some groups used IL-2 to stimulate the immune systems of tumour patients (Jacobs et al., 1986). The idea seemed brilliant and several attempts were made, but the results were disappointing (Lim et … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 22 Oct 2015 · 7,629 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA GQM Based Approach towards the Development of Metrics for Software SafetyKotti Jayasri, Panchumarthy SeetharamaiahSoftware sometimes safety-critical if it resides in a safety-critical computer systems and it causes or contributes to hazards. Therefore, Safety-critical software intensive systems require verification and validation to confirm that they function as per the safety requirements. Software Safety is a combination of many factors. Metrics are commonly used in engineering as measures for the performance of a system on … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 6 · 30 Sep 2015 · 6,420 accessesView PDFCite
