The Phylogenetic Analysis of Variable-Length Sequence Data: Elongation Factor–1α Introns in European Populations of the Parasitoid Wasp Genus Pauesia…

2001

Elongation factor-1alpha (EF-1alpha) is a highly conserved nuclear coding gene that can be used to investigate recent divergences due to the presence of rapidly evolving introns. However, a universal feature of intron sequences is that even closely related species exhibit insertion and deletion events, which cause variation in the lengths of the sequences. Indels are frequently rich in evolutionary information, but most investigators ignore sites that fall within these variable regions, largely because the analytical tools and theory are not well developed. We examined this problem in the taxonomically problematic parasitoid wasp genus Pauesia (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Aphidiinae) using con…

Relationships between economic profitability and habitat quality of Siberian jay in uneven-aged Norway spruce forest

2012

Abstract In the southern and central parts of Finland, Siberian jay (Perisoreus infaustus) lives in large non-fragmented spruce-dominated forests. Due to the reduction of such forests, Siberian jay has disappeared from the southern parts of Finland. This study analyzed continuous-cover uneven-aged forest management as a way to maintain Siberian jay habitats simultaneously with timber production. Continuous cover management is able to provide the necessary spatial and temporal continuity of forest features important to the viability of Siberian jay populations. The study analyzed the relationship between habitat quality of Siberian jay and profitability of uneven-aged management of Norway sp…

Genetic and environmental effects on body mass index during adolescence: a prospective study among Finnish twins

2009

Objective: To study genetic and environmental factors affecting body mass index (BMI) and BMI phenotypic correlations across adolescence. Design: Prospective, population-based, twin cohort study. Participants and methods: We used twin modeling in 2413 monozygotic and same-sex and opposite-sex dizygotic Finnish twin pairs born in 1983–1987 and assessed using self-report questionnaires at 11–12, 14 and 17 years of age. Results: Heritability of BMI was estimated to be 0.58–0.69 among 11–12- and 14-year-old boys and girls, 0.83 among 17-year-old boys and 0.74 among 17-year-old girls. Common environmental effects shared by siblings were 0.15–0.24 among 11–12- and 14-year-old boys and girls but n…

Relationships of BMI, muscle-to-fat ratio, and handgrip strength-to-BMI ratio to physical fitness in Spanish children and adolescents

2023

AbstractThis study aimed to determine the relationship of body mass index (BMI), muscle-to-fat ratio (MFR), and handgrip strength-to-BMI ratio to physical fitness parameters in an active young population according to sex across four different time points. A total of 2256 Spanish children and adolescents (aged 5–18) from rural areas participating in an extracurricular sport in different municipal sports schools participated in this study. Participants were divided into children (5–10 years) and adolescents (11–18 years), boys and girls, and across four different time points (2018, 2019, 2020, 2021). Data on anthropometric measures (BMI, MFR, appendicular skeletal muscle mass) and physical fi…

Scaling symmetries and optimization of the refractive index profile in optical fibers

2019

The optical fiber refractive index profile has a significant role in the optical devices fabrication like fiber Bragg gratings (FBG) and acousto-optic devices and the way guided light interacts in the presence of external factors like strain, stress or even bends. The analysis of the fiber profile gets to be feasible throughout understanding the properties of the optical guided modes such as the effective index, group index, and the chromatic dispersion. Taking a broader look at previous publications that use standard commercial optical fibers, it becomes noticeable that the ideal core-cladding step index profile gives incompatible results when it comes to the experimental versus the simula…

A branch-and-cut algorithm for the Team Orienteering Problem

2017

The Team Orienteering Problem aims at maximizing the total amount of profit collected by a fleet of vehicles while not exceeding a predefined travel time limit on each vehicle. In the last years, several exact methods based on different mathematical formulations were proposed. In this paper, we present a new two-index formulation with a polynomial number of variables and constraints. This compact formulation, reinforced by connectivity constraints, was solved by means of a branch-and-cut algorithm. The total number of instances solved to optimality is 327 of 387 benchmark instances, 26 more than any previous method. Moreover, 24 not previously solved instances were closed to optimality.

Oral-Health-Related Quality of Life and Cosleeping: The Role of Nocturnal Breastfeeding

2021

The purpose of this paper is to analyse the association between cosleeping and the number of breastfeeding sessions in infants, OHRQoL of the child and the family, and the DMFT Child’s index. The sample comprised 273 children (2–4 years old). In addition to the clinical examination of the child to assess the DMFT Index, the mother was requested to complete a questionnaire to collect data about the breastfeeding practice, diet, dental hygiene, dental check-ups, quality of the child’s oral life, and family impact (ECOHIS Scale). The children’s OHRQoL is positively correlated with number of night-time breastfeeding sessions at 12 months (r2 = 0.40 **), DMFT index (r2 = 0.60 **), impact family …

Sakarības novērtējums starp bronhu hiperreaktivitāti un otrā tipa cukura diabētu

2019

Otrā tipa cukura diabēta un astmas sastopamība pēdējās dekādēs ir krietni palielinājusies, sasniedzot epidēmijas apmērus. Pēdējās divas desmitgadēs ir publicēti pētījumi, kas liecina, ka pacientiem ar 2.tipa cukura diabētu ir samazināti plaušu funkcionālie rādītāji. Pētījumu skaits par cukura diabēta negatīvajiem aspektiem un komplikācijām, kas saistītas ar plaušu funkcijas traucējumiem, ir salīdzinoši neliels un rezultāti pretrunīgi. Mūsu pētījumā tika izvirzīta hipotēze, ka pacientiem ar 2.tipa cukura diabētu ir lielāks risks saslimt ar bronhiālo astmu. Tā kā astmas obligāta izpausme ir bronhu hiperreaktivitāte, tad tika pētīta sakarība starp 2.tipa cukura diabētu un bronhiālo hiperreakti…
