Chemical-looping combustion (CLC) is a novel technology that can be used to meet demands
on energy production without CO 2 emissions. The CLC-process includes two reactors, an …

Background Variations in gene expression, mediated by epigenetic mechanisms, may
cause broad phenotypic effects in animals. However, it has been debated to what extent …

Through domestication and co‐evolution with humans, dogs have developed abilities to
attract human attention, eg in a manner of seeking assistance when faced with a problem …

Background Backfat thickness is an important carcass composition trait for pork production
and is commonly included in swine breeding programmes. In this paper, we report the results …

A few years ago, Wilkins et al.(2014) advanced the neural crest cell hypothesis of
domestication as an explanation for the “domestication syndrome” in animals, which refers to a …

Background Early simulations indicated that whole-genome sequence data (WGS) could
improve the accuracy of genomic predictions within and across breeds. However, empirical …

Background In this paper, we simulate deleterious load in an animal breeding program, and
compare the efficiency of genome editing and selection for decreasing it. Deleterious …

Domestication is one of the strongest forms of short-term, directional selection. Although
selection is typically only exerted on one or a few target traits, domestication can lead to …

Background Up until now, wireless networking has been more or less synonymous with wide
area cellular networks based on different standards, eg GSM, AMPS, etc. They have been …

As brain size usually increases with body size it has been assumed that the two are tightly
constrained and evolutionary studies have therefore often been based on relative brain size (…
