Genetic gain on body composition in pigs by Computed Tomography (CT). Return on investment (invited talk)
1 like677 views
This document discusses using computed tomography (CT) to measure pigs' body composition for genetic selection. CT scanning allows accurate, non-invasive measurements of fat, muscle and bone in live animals. Using these CT measurements in breeding programs can increase genetic gain for important traits by around 30% compared to previous methods like chemical analysis or ultrasound. CT scanning has been used in Norwegian breeding programs since 2008, improving traits like lean meat percentage and intramuscular fat content while maintaining other important goals.

This study evaluated the growth performance of New Zealand Red, Californian White, and Chinchilla rabbits using a diallel analysis. Body measurements and weight were collected from 138 kittens from crosses between these 3 breeds. General and specific combining abilities were found to significantly influence all traits measured. Both additive and non-additive genetic effects impacted hybrid performance, with non-additive effects playing a larger role for some traits like weight and height, and additive effects more important for others like ear length. The New Zealand Red and Californian White parents showed reliable general combining ability. Reciprocal effects were not significant. Therefore, using separate male and female breeds in crossbreeding may not provide additional advantages.Genomic selection in small holder systems: Challenges and opportunities

This document summarizes a study that evaluated carcass traits in Japanese quails. It found that sex significantly influenced most carcass traits, with females having higher weights for some traits than males. The quails had an average dressing percentage of 72.36%. Heritability estimates for the carcass traits ranged from low to high. All carcass traits were positively genetically correlated with pre-slaughter live weight. Phenotypic correlations between live weight and other traits followed the same trend as genetic correlations. The study concluded that Japanese quail have high efficiency for meat production and indirect selection could be used to improve the carcass traits.Genomic aided selection for crop improvement

This document summarizes a study that aimed to identify reference genes for investigating the role of rumen muscle in methane production in sheep. RNA sequencing was performed on various muscle and organ tissues from three sheep. Initially, gene ontology analysis did not yield significant results due to noise from biological variations between individuals. The approach was changed to focus on a cluster of genes known to be involved in muscle structure and activity. This identified a cluster enriched for smooth muscle genes, which could serve as reference genes for further studying the relationship between rumen muscle and methane production.Sponsor Day on animal feeding: The role of genetics in Product quality and fe...

This contribution presents the integration of the EO Application Package model into the ILIAD Digital Twin of the Ocean architecture, using the OGC API Processes DRU specification. Built on the EOEPCA framework and OGC best practices and specifications, the approach enables standardized, containerized EO applications packaged with CWL to run across a wide range of infrastructures including Kubernetes and HPC. These applications are already in use across several platforms, and in ILIAD they have been applied to models such as oil spill forecasting, aquaculture, wave energy, and ship routing.
The EDITO platform supports OGC API Processes but is currently optimized for simpler workflows using environment variables. To enhance compatibility with EO Application Packages, ILIAD introduces a Kubernetes-based ADES implementation, enabling dynamic execution and integration with EDITO's object store and metadata catalog. The experience is also informing the evolution of the OGC Best Practice, and practical solutions for bridging architectural gaps will be discussed.Science Experiment: Properties of Water.pptx

Its not just theory its a hands-on blueprint for applying human-centered thinking at every stage of product development.
Grounded in behavioral science, consumer psychology, and cognitive design, this deck unpacks the key psychological drivers behind user motivation, decision-making, emotional engagement, and habit formation. From attention economics and dopamine-driven interactions to trust cues, loss aversion, and the paradox of choice you'll see how to harness what the mind naturally does to build digital products people dont just use they return to, talk about, and even advocate for.
Well explore:
Cognitive biases that shape user perception and choices and how to use them to your advantage without crossing ethical lines.
Emotional design principles that build trust, trigger desire, and turn features into feelings.
User behavior loops that build stickiness, deepen retention, and create emotional investments.
Psychological friction when to reduce it for conversion, and when to add it for intentionality.
Dark patterns vs. ethical persuasion the thin line between influence and manipulation.
A/B testing with a psychological lens learning not just what works, but why it works.
This is more than UX research or product marketing fluff. Its a call to build with empathy, backed by science, and sharpened by real-world product thinking. Whether youre shaping onboarding flows, gamifying engagement, designing pricing models, or rethinking retention strategies this deck will arm you with a new lens: the human mind.
Perfect for product managers, growth strategists, UX designers, behavioral scientists, and anyone serious about building products that resonate, retain, and inspire action.
Because at the heart of every great product is a human.
Lets start building for the brain not just the screen.Synthesis and characterization of Thiazole derivatives of N-substituted lsatin
