A SNP Genotyping Array for Hexaploid Oat

Recognizing a need in cultivated hexaploid oat ( L.) for a reliable set of reference single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), we have developed a 6000 (6K) BeadChip design containing 257 Infinium I and 5486 Infinium II designs corresponding to 5743 SNPs.Of those, 4975 SNPs yielded successful assays after array manufacturing.These SNPs were discovere

Fetal Calf Serum Exerts an Inhibitory Effect on Replication of Duck Hepatitis A Virus Genotype 1 in Duck Embryo Fibroblast Cells

Among the causative agents of duck viral hepatitis, duck hepatitis A virus genotype 1 (DHAV-1) is the most common virus reported in most outbreaks worldwide.How to propagate DHAV-1 in cell cultures efficiently remains a problem to be explored.Here, we aimed to test the effect of serum type on DHAV-1 replication in duck embryo fibroblast (DEF) cells

A new heuristic non-linear approach for modeling the variable slope angles in open pit mine planning algorithms

In this paper a new non-linear heuristic approach has been developed to model the variable slope angles in the open pit optimization algorithms that is based on a simple inverse distance formulation.In the primary approaches, a fixed value of slope angle is considered and it is usually based on special block configurations such as 1:5, 1:9 and 1:5:
