Small stem assay for chestnut blight resistance in segregating half-sib and full-sib families of F2 and backcross hybrid chestnut trees
Chestnut breeders routinely screen hybrid chestnut seedling progeny for resistance to chestnut blight in an orchard setting – a process that takes five to seven years. A novel technique that allows for screening in the first and second growing season is known as a small stem assay. We screened 110 …

A linkage study of autism using multipoint sib-pair analysis
… that the recurrence risk for autism among siblings of autistic children is 50-200 times higher compared to the risk of autism in the general population (4-5 in I 0 000 births). Thirdly, twin studies show a significantly higher concordance rate among monozygotic twins compared to dizygotic …

Sib Kinnect: supporting siblings of children with disabilities using a telehealth approach
… literature regarding the experiences of siblings of children with disabilities acknowledges that siblings have diverse experiences and that it is unclear to what extent siblings are negatively impacted. (Emerson & Giallo, 2014; Giallo, Roberts, Emerson, Wood, & Gavidia-Payne, 2014; …

Functional analysis and elimination of SIB in an olive baboon (Papio hamadryas anubis).
Self injurious behavior (SIB), such as self-biting and head-banging, has been reported to occur in approximately 10% of captive, individually housed primates (Novak, Kinsely, Jorgensen, and Hazen, 1998). Accounts of the causes of SIB range from environmental to physiological. However, to date, no …

Changes in loblolly pine seedling root growth potential over time, during cold storage, and among half-sib families
… Variation patterns over time among 14 half-sib loblolly pine families hand-lifted at one-month intervals were examined. Root growth potential was low in the autumn until the cessation of shoot activity. Seedlings stored poorly if put in cold storage during this time, or prior to the …

Perinatal suicidality: prevalence and correlates in a South African cohort
… recent years. Suicidal ideation and behaviour (SIB) in the perinatal period is common and is associated with completed suicide. Data regarding perinatal SIB in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) are lacking, and available work is limited by reliance on self-report scales. There are even …

Estimating Familial Correlations Using a Kotz Type Density
… resemblance between the family members are the sib-sib correlation (ρ<sub><em>ss</em></sub>) and the mom-sib or parent-sib correlation (ρ<sub><em>ps</em></sub>). Since their introduction early in the last century by Galton, Fisher and others, many improved estimators of these correlations have …

Using Functional Communication Training to Reduce Self-Injurious Behavior for Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder
… training (FCT) on self-injurious behavior (SIB) of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). FCT was utilized and demand fading procedures were added to the original method. The use of FCT to address SIB maintained by negative reinforcement exhibited by children with ASD is supported by …

Behavioral Monitoring to Identify Self-Injurious Behavior among Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Self-injurious behavior (SIB) is one of the most dangerous behavioral responses among individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), often leading to injury and hospitalization. There is an ongoing need to measure the triggers of SIB to inform management and prevention. These triggers are …

Genetic variability in Douglas-fir based on molecular genetic markers and morphological traits
… evolutionary forces are likely to be responsible for the current genetic make-up of B.C. Douglas-fir populations. Quantitative traits were evaluated in 100 families of 17-year old coastal Douglas-fir progenies in progeny tests at three locations, including Caycuse, Courtenay, and Gold River. …

THE GOVERNANCE OF OUTCOME ACCOUNTABILITY IN SOCIAL IMPACT BONDS
I Social Impact Bond (SIB) sono una forma avanzata di contratti basati sui risultati che facilitano gli investimenti privati nella fornitura di servizi pubblici. La loro forma contrattuale stabilisce la responsabilità tra le parti interessate attraverso risultati misurabili piuttosto che processi …

Index, Individual Trait, and Tandem Selection to Improve a Maize Synthetic for Yield, Corn Borer, and Disease Traits
… from replicated trials of 120 to 200 half-sib families of a maize (Zea mays L.) synthetic were obtained in one to three years for grain yield (measured on uninoculated plants), quantitative resistance to four common leaf and stalk diseases evaluated separately, the aggregate effect of …

Thermochemical modeling and chemical vapor deposition of two-phase borides in the Hf-Si-B-Cl-H system
… conditions for the deposition of two-phase HfB₂-SiB₆ or HfB₂-SiB₄ coatings. The SOLGASMIX-PV computer program was used for these calculations, which were based on ZrCl₄, SiCl₄ BCl₃, and H₂ reactant gases. An array of temperatures (1100, 1300, and 1500K), total pressures (0.02, 0.1, and 1 atm.) …

Effects of Prior Conditions on Self -Injurious Behavior in Subsequent Analyses
… functional analysis with 2 adults who exhibited SIB. In Study 2, the participants were exposed to high and low probability conditions prior to a second functional analysis. Results indicated that prior conditions affected subsequent behavior differentially. SIB occurred in both segments of the …

Sibship in Low Fertility Settings: A Microsimulation Approach
This thesis examines the variation in lifespan sibling availability in low fertility populations. Demographic transition has had profound effects on family structure, shrinking kin networks while extending the duration of kin ties. Siblings are unique among these ties in their duration, degree of …

The Effects of Interspersed Trials and Density of Reinforcement on Accuracy, Looking Away, and Self-Injurious Behavior of a Child with Autism
… looking away, and self-injurious behavior (SIB). The effects of interspersed trials were evaluated using an ABAB multiple treatments design. Results indicated that interspersed trials produced slightly more correct responses during the visual matching task; however, correct responses …
