Open AccessBuilding in vitro tools for livestock genomics: chromosomal variation within the PK15 cell line
Cultured porcine cell lines are powerful tools for functional genomics and in vitro phenotypic testing of candidate causal variants. However, to be utilised for genomic or variant interrogation assays, the gen...

Open AccessCREBBP and WDR 24 Identified as Candidate Genes for Quantitative Variation in Red-Brown Plumage Colouration in the Chicken
Plumage colouration in birds is important for a plethora of reasons, ranging from camouflage, sexual signalling, and species recognition. The genes underlying colour variation have been vital in understanding ...

Open AccessThe domesticated brain: genetics of brain mass and brain structure in an avian species
As brain size usually increases with body size it has been assumed that the two are tightly constrained and evolutionary studies have therefore often been based on relative brain size (i.e. brain size proporti...

Open AccessFeralisation targets different genomic loci to domestication in the chicken
Feralisation occurs when a domestic population recolonizes the wild, esca** its previous restricted environment, and has been considered as the reverse of domestication. We have previously shown that Kauai I...

Effect of Synthesis and Sintering Conditions on the Thermoelectric Properties of n-Doped Mg2Si
Magnesium silicide (Mg2Si)-based alloys are promising candidates for thermoelectric (TE) energy conversion in the middle–high temperature range. The detrimental effect of the presence of MgO on the TE properties ...

Evaluation of the Structure and Transport Properties of Nanostructured Antimony Telluride (Sb2Te3)
Antimony telluride, (Sb2Te3), and its doped derivatives are considered to be among the best p-type thermoelectric (TE) materials for room temperature (300–400 K) applications. However, it is still desirable to de...

Spark plasma sintering and thermoelectric evaluation of nanocrystalline magnesium silicide (Mg2Si)
Recently magnesium silicide (Mg2Si) has received great interest from thermoelectric (TE) society because of its non-toxicity, environmental friendliness, comparatively high abundance, and low production material ...

Fabrication of nanostructured bulk Cobalt Antimonide (CoSb3) based skutterudites via bottom-up synthesis
Skutterudites are known to be efficient thermoelectric (TE) materials in the temperature range from 600 K to 900 K. Dimensionless figure of merit (ZT) for filled skutterudite TE materials have been reported as...

Investigation of auto-ionizing states in xenon by resonantly enhanced multi-photon ionization
We have examined the autoionization spectrum of xenon by resonantly enhanced three-photon ionization (2 + 1 REMPI) involving intermediate states 5p 56p[J = 0, 2]. The properties of the observed autoionization res...

Vapour–liquid–solid growth of TiB2 whiskers
Whiskers of TiB2 have been synthesised via a carbothermal vapour–liquid–solid (VLS) growth mechanism. The whisker growth was investigated in the temperature region 1100–1800°C in argon. The best result was obtain...

Large veins in the Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) and the rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) are innervated by neuropeptide-containing nerves
Previous studies have shown that fish veins are reactive to several hormones known to exist in the fish circulation. Besides this humoral control, another possible means of active regulation of venous return i...
