El-Kassaby and Lstiburek (2009) extended the idea as a low-cost breeding option.
In the frame of the newly established EUROfusion WPBB Project for the period 2014 2018, four breeding blanket options are being investigated to be used in the fusion power demonstration plant DEMO.
The authors found that the 'several-small with periodic mixing' captive breeding population option was more advantageous than the 'single-large with no mixing' option.
These regions, comprising of Arcadia and Messinia in Peloponesse, Etoloacarnania and Epirus in mainland west, southern Aegean Islands (Rhodes, Ikaria and Fourni), Thessaly in central mainland and Macedonia in the north, differed in terms of physical characteristics, infrastructure available, animal breeding traditions and alternative employment options.
Additionally, the impact of specific ASPS options on breeding bird distribution was assessed at the field-scale, using data collected after the options had been deployed for 5 years.
Two options of breeding blanket with ceramic and liquid lithium breeders are presented, supported by neutronic, thermalhydraulic and mechanical calculations.
There are two options of breeding blankets with ceramic and lithium-lead breeders as DEMO blanket concepts under the conditions of meeting the requirement of the neutronics, thermal-hydraulics and mechanics aspects.
Now, scientists with the International Committee for the Recovery of the Vaquita (CIRVA) are cautiously moving forward on a once unthinkable option: captive breeding.
Although they treated it as a pet, they also expected to have the option of breeding it several times a year, at a rate of $2,000 to $3,000 per breeding, until it turned 10. "I don't think in their wildest dreams they would have imagined this happening," Leventhal said.
A superficially attractive option for breeding for resistance to STB, as in many other plant diseases, is to use qualitative genes with large effects on the pathogen.
