VARIABILITY OF PRDM9 IN BUFFALOES

Variability of PRDM9 in buffaloes

The buffalo population raised in Brazil tend to show loss of genetic variability over generations, with significant estimates of inbreeding depression.Besides mating genetically distant individuals, other tools can be used to maintain/increase the genetic variability of the population, such as the use of PRDM9 genotypes.The PRDM9 gene promotes the

Recent Efforts to Prevent Undesirable Reactions From Fractionation to Depolymerization of Lignin: Toward Maximizing the Value From Lignin

Lignin is a major proto slinger 2023 component of lignocellulosic biomass along with cellulose and hemicellulose, currently underutilized with the bulk of technical lignin being combusted for heat generation in plant.From the technoeconomic perspective, the success of a future biorefinery is highly dependent on lignin valorization.However, structur

Nuclear heating measurements by gamma and neutron thermometers

A gamma thermometer suitable for very high gamma heating levels (up to 20 W/g) has been designed and modelled by means of detailed finite element calculations.Based on a sensitivity analysis, the predicted accuracy of this gamma thermometer is better than 5 %.A novel miniaturized gamma thermometer is proposed in which a single thermocouple is used
