      This study aims to compare results obtained by mate selection accounting for different components in the objective function (OF), including functions related to genetic variability of the future progeny, using Nile ...
    • Yoshida, Grazyella Massako; Yáñez López, José; Lopes de Oliveira, Carlos Antonio; Pereira Ribeiro, Ricardo; Lhorente, Jean Paul; Queiroz, Sandra Aidar de; Carvalheiro, Roberto (Wiley, 2017)
      An algorithm to perform mate selection in aquaculture breeding using a computational optimization procedure called "differential evolution" (DE) was applied under optimum contribution selection and mate selection scenarios, ...
    • Yoshida, Grazyella Massako; Yáñez López, José; de Queiroz, Sandra Aidar; Carvalheiro, Roberto (Elsevier, 2020)
      Optimum contribution selection (OCS) and mate selection (MS) are alternative strategies to maximize genetic gain under controlled rates of inbreeding. There is evidence in the literature that MS outperforms OCS in controlling ...
    • Ronco Macchiavello, Ana María; Montenegro, Marcela; Castillo, Paula; Urrutia, Manuel; Sáez, Daniel; Hirsch Birn, Sandra; Zepeda Iriarte, Ramiro; Llanos Silva, Miguel (Elsevier, 2011)
      Several cardiovascular diseases (CVD) observed in adulthood have been associated with environmental influences during fetal growth. Here, we show that maternal exposure to cadmium, a ubiquitously distributed heavy metal ...
    • Sales, Francisco; Parraguez Gamboa, Víctor; Freitas de Melo, Aline; Ungerfeld, Rodolfo (Elsevier, 2020)
      Undernourishment is a frequent condition in sheep pregnancies under extensive systems, since most of the pregnancies occur when the prairie has the lowest forage allowance. Underfed sheep pregnancies are associated with ...

      The effects of a combined supplementation with herbal antioxidants during pregnancy on reproductive traits and piglet performance (number of live, dead, and mummified newborns and litter weight at birth and individual ...
    • Pérez Melendez, Patricio; Maino Menéndez, Mario; Morales Silva, María Sol; Tomic Stefanin, Gerda; Aguilera Hidalgo, Francisco Javier; Egaña Moreno, Juan Ignacio (2012)
      Twenty-eight Merino Precoce suckling lambs raised under confinement in the Mediterranean semi-humid dryland of Central Chile were studied to evaluate meat quality and major carcass characteristics. Animals were grouped by ...

      Trypanosomacruzi es el agente causal de la enfermedad de Chagas, la infección parasitaria más importante deLatinoamérica. Se considera una enfermedad crónica, que causa discapacidad, para la cual no existe tratamientoefectivo. ...
    • Tischendorf, Lutz; Grez Villarroel, Audrey; Zaviezo, Tania; Fahrig, Lenore (RESILIENCE ALLIANCE, 2005-06)
      We conducted a factorial simulation experiment to analyze the relative importance of movement pattern, boundary-crossing probability, and mortality in habitat and matrix on population density, and its dependency on habitat ...
    • Iturriaga, Maria P.; Paredes, Rodolfo; Arias Fernández, José; Torres Mendoza, Cristian (Spandidos Publications Ltd., 2017)
      Cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 expression is positively correlated with malignant features in canine mammary carcinomas. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) inhibit COX activity and may therefore possess anticancer ...
