Genetic variation may partially underlie complex personality and physiological traits—such
as impulsivity, risk taking and stress responsivity—as well as a substantial proportion of …

To accuratcly predict the unsaturated hydraulic conductivity (K) from measured soil water
retention data using analytical (nontabular) functions, one needs a reliable descriptive model of …

… In same study 14 levels of lactic acid, von Willebrand factor and fibrin D-dimer in blood
samples and urine albumin-to-creatinin-ratio increased during treatment with 5-FU, while …

As population structure can result in spurious associations, it has constrained the use of
association studies in human and plant genetics. Association mapping, however, holds great …

Background Recent evidence suggests that there is a link between metabolic diseases and
bacterial populations in the gut. The aim of this study was to assess the differences between …

The soil serves as a leaky reservoir, which holds water that may be withdrawn by plants. For
many agronomic applications, it is of value to quantify the amount of water held in this …

… Hence, the value of D may be calculated for each depth L using only tensiometers. 'I'he
value of … shown to be reasonably effective in predicting experimentally measured values (Nielsen …

In agronomic problems the sampling procedure may create some confusion and bias in the
analysis. Geostatistics provides a method for the analysis of the spatial and temporal …

Historically, association tests have been used extensively in medical genetics 1, 2, but have
had virtually no application in plant genetics. One obstacle to their application is the …

Nine chapters deal successively with the following topics: general considerations on soil,
including soil genesis, classification, and mapping; the soil pore system; soil water and …
