11. The variation of F2 progenies derived from interspecific crosses between Phaseolus vulgaris and Phaseolus coccineusAnton Ivančič, Metka Šiško, 2003, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Interspecific hybridisation within the genus Phaseolus represents an importantsource of genetic variation which can be very useful in breeding programmes based on recurrent selection. The aim of this investigation was to analyse the phenotypic variation and relationships among the most important quantitative traits in F2 generation materials derived from crosses P. vulgaris x P. coccienus. P. vulgaris was used as female while P. coccineus as male parent. The F2 material was composed of 825 individuals which originated from open pollination of 65 F1 plants. The most variable quantitative trait was the number of flowers per inflorescence, which varied from 0 to 57 (CV=45,8 %). The second was the inflorescence length which varied from 2.5 to 74 cm (CV=39,0 %). The highest value (CV=70.4 %) was obtained for floral colour (a qualitative trait which was transformed into a special numerical scale).The correlation analysis showed that there were close relationships among the number of leaves, number of flowers, number of pods, number of seedsand the length of the growth period. For practical breeding, the most useful is probably the correlation between the number of inflorescences and the number of seeds per plant (r=0.503 and 0.560) because the number of inflorescences can be easily determined at the beginning of the hybridisation period, and the number of seeds is more or less directly associated with the yield. For the final visual selection, at the end of the vegetation period, the most useful trait is the number of pods, which is highly correlated with the number of seeds (r=0.740 and 0.916) Ključne besede: interspecific hybrids, Phaseolus vulgaris x P. coccineus, hybridisation technique, phenotypic variation, phenotypic correlation coefficients Objavljeno v DKUM: 10.07.2015; Ogledov: 1584; Prenosov: 44 Povezava na celotno besedilo |
12. Regression analysis of variables describing poultry meat supply in European countriesMiro Simonič, Ksenija Dumičić, Gabrijel Devetak, 2012, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: In this paper, based on the analysis of official FAOSTAT and EUROSTAT data on poultry meat for 38 European countries for years 2007 and 2009, two hypotheses were examined. Firstly, considering four clustering variables on poultry meat, i.e. production, export and import in kg/capita, as well as the producer price in US $/t, using descriptive exploratory and cluster analysis, the hypothesis that the clusters of countries may be recognized was confirmed. As a result six clusters of similar countries were distinguished. Secondly, based on multiple regression analysis, this paper proofs that there exists the statistically significant relationship of poultry meat production on export and import of that kind of meat, all measured in kg/capita. There is also a high correlation between production, as a dependent, and each of two independent variables.

13. Constructing domain-specific semantic dictionaries to supplement domain-specific knowledge basesGoran Hrovat, Milan Ojsteršek, objavljeni znanstveni prispevek na konferenci Opis: Semantic dictionaries as well as knowledge bases are im- portant source of information for natural language process- ing. Using corpus and algorithms for constructing semantic space, we can quickly construct semantic dictionary, which is exploit to supplement the knowledge base. Algorithm for constructing semantic space, COALS was chosen. Semantic distance between terms in semantic space reveals their sim- ilarity, which is used to add semantic relationships in the dictionary. Semantic dictionary also serves to assist in iden- tifying entities and in relation extraction, to supplement the knowledge base.

14. Establishing the stochastic nature of intracellular calcium oscillations from experimental dataMatjaž Perc, Anne K. Green, C. Jane Dixon, Marko Marhl, 2008, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Calcium has been established as a key messenger in both intra- and intercellular signaling. Experimentally observed intracellular calcium responses to different agonists show a variety of behaviors from simple spiking to complex oscillatory regimes. Here we study typical experimental traces of calcium oscillations in hepatocytes obtained in response to phenylephrine and ATP. The traces were analyzed with methods of nonlinear time series analysis in order to determine the stochastic/deterministic nature of the intracellular calcium oscillations. Despite the fact that the oscillations appear, visually, to be deterministic yet perturbed by noise, our analyses provide strong evidence that the measured calcium traces in hepatocytes are prevalently of stochastic nature. In particular, bursting calcium oscillations are temporally correlated Gaussian series distorted by a monotonic, instantaneous, time-independent function, whilst the spiking behavior appears to have a dynamical nonlinear component whereby the overall determinism level is still low. The biological importance of this finding is discussed in relation to the mechanisms incorporated in mathematical models as well as the role of stochasticity and determinism at cellular and tissue levels which resemble typical statistical and thermodynamic effects in physics.

15. Numerical optimisation of a waste-to-energy plant's operating parameters using CFDMiran Kapitler, Niko Samec, Filip Kokalj, 2011, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The combustion process for using municipal solid waste as a fuel within a waste to energy plant calls for a detailed understanding of the following phenomena. Firstly, this process depends on many input parameters such as proximate and ultimate analyses, the season of the year, primary and secondary inlet air velocities and, secondly, on output parameters such as the temperatures or mass-flow rates of the combustible products. The variability and mutual dependence of these parameters can be difficult to manage in practice. Another problem is how these parameters can be tuned to achieving optimal combustible conditions with minimal pollutant emissions, during the plant-design phase. in order to meet these goals, a waste-to-energy plant with bed combustion was investigated by using computational fluid-dynamics approach. The adequate variable input boundary conditions based on the real measurement are used and the whole computational work is updated using real plant geometry and the appropriate turbulence, combustion, or heat transfer models. The operating parameters were optimized on output parameters through a trade-off study. The different operating conditions were varied and the combustible products were predicted and visualized. Finally, the response charts and matrix among the input and output parameters during the optimization process are presented, which monitored the dependence among these parameters.

16. Characterization of corrosion processes by current noise wavelet-based fractaland correlation analysisPeter Planinšič, Aljana Petek, 2008, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Electrochemical noise data in the presence of pitting, general corrosion and passivity were analyzed using the discrete wavelet transform. The registered current noise was decomposed into a set of band-limited details, which contain information about corrosion events occurring at a determined time-scale. It has been observed that the signal variance and variances of details depend on the intensity of processes. Distribution of the signal energy among different details was characteristic for the particular type of corrosion. The characterization of corrosion processes on the basis of in the wavelet domain calculated Hurst parameter H and fractal dimension, D, of electrochemical noise signals has been established. It is concluded that general corrosion is a stationary random process with a weak persistence and D= 2.14, whereas pitting corrosion is a non-stationary process with a long memory effect and D = 1.07. Passivity is a non-stationary process near to the Brownian motion with D = 1.56. The persistence features of electrochemical noise signals were explained also by correlation coefficients calculated between signals obtained by discrete wavelet multiresolution decomposition.
