  2. 11. Novel Treatment Modalities for High-Risk Neuroblastoma : Studies in Animal Models

    Author : Dieter Fuchs; Faranak Azarbayjani; Rolf Christofferson; Sven Påhlman; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; neuroblastoma; bevacizumab; SU11248; GMX1778; GMX1777; animal model; Medicine; Medicin;

    Abstract : Neuroblastoma, the most common extracranial solid tumor of childhood, is a heterogeneous tumor. In some patients, the tumor can go into spontaneous regression and disappear whereas other patients have rapidly growing tumors with a poor prognosis. READ MORE

  4. 12. Genetic Heteroscedasticity for Domestic Animal Traits

    Author : Majbritt Felleki; Erling Strandberg; Lars Rönnegård; Ole Fredslund Christensen; Högskolan Dalarna; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; Quantitative genetics; genetic heteroscedasticity of residuals; genetic heterogeneity of environmental variation; genetic heterogeneity of residual variance; double hierarchical generalized linear models; teat count in pigs; litter size in pigs; milk yield in cows; somatic cell count in cows; Complex Systems – Microdata Analysis; Komplexa system - mikrodataanalys;

    Abstract : Animal traits differ not only in mean, but also in variation around the mean. For instance, one sire’s daughter group may be very homogeneous, while another sire’s daughters are much more heterogeneous in performance. The difference in residual variance can partially be explained by genetic differences. READ MORE

  5. 13. Modelling animal populations

    Author : Åke Brännström; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : population model; stochastic population model; population dynamics; discrete time model; Beverton-Holt model; Skellam model; Hassell model; Ricker model; first principles; coupled map lattice; CML; area integral; square function; Mathematics; matematik;

    Abstract : This thesis consists of four papers, three papers about modelling animal populations and one paper about an area integral estimate for solutions of partial differential equations on non-smooth domains. The papers are: I. Å. Brännström, Single species population models from first principles. READ MORE

  6. 14. Trading animal genetics : On the “marketization” of bovine genetics in the dairy industry

    Author : Julia De Gregorio; Brett Christophers; Peeter Maandi; Christian Berndt; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : This thesis studies the workings of markets in the specific context of the international trade in bovine genetics in the dairy industry and with a particular focus on the Global North. It draws upon the examples of trade in breeding stock – cows – at auction sales and trade in bovine semen. READ MORE

  7. 15. Unleashing Animal-Computer Interaction : A Theoretical Investigation of the “I” in ACI

    Author : Fredrik Aspling; Oskar Juhlin; Clara Mancini; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Animal-Computer Interaction; Multispecies Ethnography; Theory; Theoretical Pluralism; Actor-Network Theory; Ethnomethodology; Rhetorics; Kinesthetic Empathy; Man-Machine-Interaction MMI ; människa-maskin-interaktion MMI ;

    Abstract : Non-human animals have had a long co-existence and relationship with human culture and society, and we interact with them in a number of ways, and for various reasons. Their involvement in technology can be traced back more than half a century, initially restricted to scientific contexts, for example, for the study of animal behavior, cognition, or language learning abilities.
