Investigating Associations between Activity and Performance Traits across Three Breeds of Swine Using Nutrack
Feed costs are the largest contributor towards the variable costs of pork production. To decrease feed cost while not sacrificing output requires an improvement in feed efficiency (FE). A potential approach to expand available phenotypes associated with FE is with activity tracking, yet the relationship between activity and performance is not well ...

Evaluate Efficiency of Management in Using Some Seed Varieties for Wheat Production in Diyala Governorate
Published in IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science
The aim of this study is to identify the efficiency of the agricultural management in selecting to improved cultivated varieties, namely Ibaa-99 and Bhoot 22 in the production of wheat crop. and the extent of the influence of agricultural on the production process. Results of economic analysis by calculating economic parameters. The economic profit...
Efficiency and Application Fees in School Choice
This paper examines the impact of application fees on student strategies within the deferred acceptance mechanism. We demonstrate that these fees can lead to Pareto-efficient allocations. However, they may also inhibit the existence of Nash equilibria that would result in assignments Pareto-dominating the student-optimal stable assignment. This iss...
Genetically Modified Bovine Milk-Derived Small Extracellular Vesicles In Drug Delivery
Small extracellular vesicles (SEVs, “exosomes”) are natural nanoparticles that can be endogenously synthesized and also obtained from dietary sources, such as bovine milk SEVs (mEVs). mEVs have been extensively studied and discovered with contributive features that potentially play a role in drug delivery and other therapeutic purposes, such as dia...
Blurring cluster randomized trials and observational studies: Two-Stage TMLE for subsampling, missingness, and few indep...
Cluster randomized trials (CRTs) often enroll large numbers of participants; yet due to resource constraints, only a subset of participants may be selected for outcome assessment, and those sampled may not be representative of all cluster members. Missing data also present a challenge: if sampled individuals with measured outcomes are dissimilar fr...
Tender vacancies allocation to the member units of a public research company: a data envelopment analysis approach.
The Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation is a public research company, comprised of a central management structure and forty-three research centers. Given the recent dismissal of employees, due to retirement or to promoted layoffs, and the expected announcement of a recruitment to replace the staff, it is important to define how these vacanc...
Kondenzace spalin u kotlů na biomasu / Condensation of flue gas in biomass boilers
Bakalářská práce se zabývá získávání tepla ze spalin pomocí kondenzace. Proces probíhá v kondenzačních výměnících, kde jsou ochlazovány spaliny pod teplotu rosného bodu. Práce se skládá z rešeršní a výpočtové části. V teoretické části jsou probírány technologie pro získávání energie z biomasy a následně popisuje samotnou kondenzaci. Výpočtová část ...
