(Springer Netherlands, 2009-06-01)
Direct and maternal (co)variance components and genetic parameters were estimated for growth and reproductive traits in the Kenya Boran cattle fitting univariate animal models. Data consisted of records on 4502 animals ...
Spectroscopic characterization of the metal cation siting and the adsorbate-cation interactions in copper (II) and cobalt (II) exchanged faujasite-X zeolite
(State University of New York at Binghamton, 2006)
Toxic chemicals are abundant in the environment and their detection often requires very
