Genesis of the Moly Brook molybdenum-copper deposit, Newfoundland, Canada: Geological and geochemical constraints on fluid evolution, links with adjacent tungsten mineralization, and the role of Late Devonian granitic intrusions
(NUI Galway, 2017-08-25)An integrated geological, structural and geochemical study of the Moly Brook Mo-Cu deposit, southern Newfoundland (Canada), is presented. The role of subordinate leucogranite as progenitor to the mineralizing components ... -
A genetic algorithm with a multi-layered genotype-phenotype mapping
(SciTePress Digital Library, 2010-08-24)In this paper we investigate the introduction of a multiple-layer genotype-phenotype mapping to a Genetic Algorithm (GA) which attempts to mimic more closely, the effects of nature. The motivation for introducing multiple-layers ... -
Genetic analysis of ATR, a central regulator of genome stability.
(2016-05-11)To protect the DNA against the constant assaults of endogenous and environmental agents, cells have developed conserved signaling pathways, known as the DNA damage response. Such responses are important to maintain genome ... -
Genetic analysis of carotenoid accumulation in tropical maize inbred lines using molecular tools and field tests for accelerating the biofortification of maize with provitamin A
(2015-05-13)Improving the nutritional content of staple crops through breeding (biofortification) is promoted as cheap and sustainable approach for alleviating vitamin A and other micronutrient deficiencies across the world. Maize is ... -
Genetic and biotechnological development of the pennate marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum for high-value bioproducts and carbon bio-mitigation.
(2014-04-25)Conflicting demands of food over fuel and the mushrooming need for feed and fibre are serious challenges for humankind at a time when we also need to address climate change challenges. Global demands for land based commodities ... -
Genetic and morphological characterization of freshwater shrimps (caridina africanakingsley, 1882) reveals the presence of alien shrimps in the cape floristic region, south africa
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2015-08-21)Morphological identification and molecular data (mtDNA COI) were used to resolve the taxonomic identity of a non-native freshwater shrimp in the Cape Floristic Region (CFR) of South Africa and to evaluate levels of genetic ... -
Genetic basis for dosage sensitivity of seed size heterosis in Arabidopsis thaliana
(NUI Galway, 2021-09-08)Heterosis refers to the ability of the F1 offspring to display superior characteristics compared with their parents and despite being genetically studied since the early 1900s, many aspects of this phenomenon remain unclear. ... -
Genetic basis of benzimidazole resistance in teladorsagia circumcincta in ireland
(Springer Nature, 2017-02-13)Resistance to benzimidazole (BZ) anthelmintics is common in ovine nematodes of economic importance. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) at three positions in the isotype 1 beta tubulin gene have been associated with BZ ... -
Genetic determinants of disease characteristics of inflammatory bowel disease and diverticulitis
(2015-05-05)Background: Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a complex, multigenic disease in which both the innate and adaptive immune systems play a strong role. Although over 40 microbes including bacteria, viruses and yeasts and ... -
Genetic diversity and associated pathology of rhabdovirus infections in farmed and wild perch perca fluviatilis in ireland
(Inter-Research Science Center, 2014-12-02)Rhabdovirus infections are an emerging problem for both wild and farmed freshwater fish in Northern Europe. In October 2005, a clinical outbreak with an approximate mortality rate of 40% occurred in a single batch of ... -
Genetic diversity of the fish pathogen aeromonas salmonicida demonstrated by random amplified polymorphic dna and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis analyses
(Inter-Research Science Center, 2000-01-01)The current taxonomy of Aeromonas salmonicida includes 4 subspecies. A. salmonicida subsp. salmonicida is associated with salmonid furunculosis, and A. salmonicida subsp, achromogenes, A. salmonicida subsp. masoucida, and ... -
Genetic diversity, evolutionary history and epigenetic analysis of East African highland bananas
(2015-05-13)Genetic variation describes naturally occurring genetic differences among individuals of the same species and permits flexibility and survival of a population in the face of changing environmental circumstances, diseases ... -
Genetic evidence supports recolonisation by mya arenaria of western europe from north america
(Inter-Research Science Center, 2016-05-10)The softshell clam Mya arenaria (L.) is currently widespread on the east and west coasts of North America. This bivalve also occurs on western European shores, where the post-Pleistocene origin of the species, whether ... -
The Genetic Evolution of Kernels for Support Vector Machine Classifiers
(2004)Abstract. The Support Vector Machine (SVM) has emerged in recent years as a popular approach to the classi¿cation of data. One problem that faces the user of an SVM is how to choose a kernel and the speci¿c parameters for ... -
Genetic fingerprinting of salmon louse (lepeophtheirus salmonis) populations in the north-east atlantic using a random forest classification approach
(Springer Nature, 2018-01-19)Caligid sea lice represent a significant threat to salmonid aquaculture worldwide. Population genetic analyses have consistently shown minimal population genetic structure in North Atlantic Lepeophtheirus salmonis, frustrating ... -
