The results of regression analysis show that the regression relationships for all the traits are significant (P<0.01). The correlative coefficients between body weight, as well as tissue weight with shell length, shell height and shell width are significant (P<0.05). But the correlative coefficients between the anterior and posterior auricle length with body weight as well as tissue weight are not significant (P>0.05). The multiple regression equation is obtained to estimate live body weight and tissue weight. The above traits except anterior and posterior auricle length are used for the growth and production comparison among three cultured populations, Duncan's new multiple range procedure analysis shows that all the traits in the Lingshuiqiao (LSQ) population are much more significant than those of the other two populations (P<0.01), and there is no significant difference between the Qipanmo (QPM) and Dalijia (DLJ) populations in all traits (P>0.05). The results indicate that the LSQ population has a higher growth rate and is expected to be more productive than the other two populations.展开更多
Explanatory models of co-morbid traits related to dental anxiety (DA) as described in the literature were tested and relative strengths analyzed in two groups of Danish adults, one with psychiatric diagnoses (n = 108)...Explanatory models of co-morbid traits related to dental anxiety (DA) as described in the literature were tested and relative strengths analyzed in two groups of Danish adults, one with psychiatric diagnoses (n = 108) and the other healthy incoming patients at a large dental school teaching clinic (n = 151). Dental Anxiety Scale (DAS) and self-report measures representing three co-morbidity explanatory models, 1) presence of other fears;2) anxiety sensitivity and 3) feelings of vulnerability specific to dental treatment, were collected in subscales of a 53-item questionnaire. Other items identified gender, age, education, income, avoidance behavior and dental symptoms. Frequency, chi-square, odds ratio and logistic regression analyses were performed. Results: All individuals with high DA (DAS > 13) regardless of group, demonstrated significant differences in avoidance of treatment (>2 yr.) versus lower or no anxiety. Patients with psychiatric diagnoses were three times more likely to have high DA and nearly two times more likely to have avoided dental treatment >2 yr.;25.9% reported extreme DA, compared to 9.3% of controls. Models of high general fear levels, predisposing anxiety sensitivity and vulnerability all demonstrated significant and strong association with intensity of dental anxiety in bivariate analyses. Feelings of vulnerability were the strongest predictor of DAS high anxiety, according to logistic regression analyses. Conclusion: Co-morbidity explanatory models as represented in present trait measures appear not to be competitive, but rather explain different aspects of a vulnerability model in high dental anxiety. Higher incidence of DA and treatment avoidance in psychiatric patients requires special attention.展开更多

[Methods] 8 different populations of wild Houttuynia cordata Thumb. in southern China were selected,the preliminary study was carried out about underground stem tissue structure( stem wall thickness,underground stem cross section diameter,medullary cavity,large vascular bundle area,small vascular bundle area,and number of vascular bundles),and main agronomic traits of aboveground and underground parts. [Results]There were significant differences in the underground stem tissue structure and agronomic traits of some populations of wild Houttuynia cordata Thumb. [Conclusions] From comparison,it reached the conclusion that the populations of wild Houttuynia cordata Thumb. in Kunming of Yunnan,Hechuan of Chongqing,and Nanning of Guangxi showed better underground stem tissue structure and agronomic traits. The results are expected to provide certain guidance for cultivation,reasonable development,and utilization of wild populations of Houttuynia cordata Thumb.展开更多

文摘为了比较自动机器学习下不同机器学习模型预测部分猪生长性状与全基因组估计育种值(genomic estimated breeding value,GEBV)的性能,并寻找适合的机器学习模型,以优化生猪育种的全基因组评估方法,本研究利用来自多个公司9968头猪的基因组信息、系谱矩阵、固定效应及表型信息通过自动机器学习方法获取深度学习(deep learning,DL)、随机森林(random forest,RF)、梯度提升机(gradient boosting machine,GBM)和极致梯度提升(extreme gradient boosting,XGB)4种机器学习最佳模型。采用10折交叉验证分别对猪达100 kg校正背膘(correcting backfat to 100 kg,B100)、达115 kg校正背膘(correcting backfat to 115 kg,B115)、达100 kg校正日龄(correcting days to 100 kg,D100)、达115 kg校正日龄(correcting days to 100 kg,D115)的GEBV及其表型进行预测,比较不同机器学习模型应用于猪基因组评估的性能。结果表明:机器学习模型对GEBV的估计准确性高于性状表型;在GEBV预测中,GBM在B100、B115、D100、D115的预测准确性分别为0.683、0.710、0.866、0.871,略高于其他方法;在表型预测中,对猪B100、B115、D100、D115预测性能最好的模型依次为GBM(0.547)、DL(0.547)、XGB(0.672、0.670);在模型训练所需时间上,RF远高于其他3种模型,GBM与DL居中,XGB所需时间最少。综上所述,通过自动机器学习获取的机器学习模型对GEBV预测的准确性高于表型;GBM模型总体上表现出最高的预测准确性与较短训练时间;XGB能够利用最短的时间训练准确性较高的预测模型;RF模型的训练时间远超其他3种模型,且准确性不足,不适用猪生长性状表型与GEBV预测。
