Abstract Background In the genetic analysis of binary traits with one observation per animal, animal threshold models frequently give biased heritability estimates.In some cases, this problem can be circumvented by fitting sire- or sire-dam models.However, these models are not appropriate in cases where individual records exist on parents.Therefore
The article contains an analysis of the reasons for detaining individuals and its more frequent application in light of the European Convention for The Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, with emphasis Strawberry Shortcake on Article 5.The human rights of detained individuals are analysed with a special focus on the ordering and ex
Multipotent cells from the juvenile subventricular zone (SVZ) possess the ability to differentiate into new neural cells.Depending on local signals, SVZ can generate new neurons, astrocytes or oligodendrocytes.We previously demonstrated that activation of NMDA receptors in SVZ progenitors increases the rate of oligodendrocyte differentiation.Here w
Two major future challenges are an increase in global earth temperature and a growing world population, which threaten agricultural productivity and nutritional food security.Underutilized crops have the potential to become future climate crops due to their high climate-resilience and nutritional quality.In this context, C4 pseudocereals such as gr
