Moreover, there could be additive effects from deregulation of several imprinted domains if their imprinting was similarly vulnerable to nutritional or other interventions.
The mode of imprinting was not clear for imprinted carcass weight QTL (Table 6), because nearly the same paternal and maternal additive effects were observed in the M breed.
The technology of molecular imprinting was employed in the synthesis of selective molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs).
The observation that some imprinted domains in mouse and human are not imprinted in marsupials, suggests that imprinting was a step wise process during evolution beginning after the evolution of viviparity and continuing convergently in the marsupial and eutherian lineages.
Lorenz argued that one of the unique characteristics of imprinting was that it involved learning the characteristics of an entire species.
Lorenz thought that imprinting was unrewarded, yet the tendency of a young bird to follow an object on which it has been imprinted in the laboratory can be enhanced by rewarding the bird with food.
Although imprinting was first studied by the Englishman Douglas Spalding in the 19th century, Konrad Lorenz is usually, and rightly, credited with having been the first not only to experiment on the phenomenon but also to study its wider implications.
Furthermore, the two-step imprinting was used to fabricate multiple patterns from a single master.
The imprinting was carried out at 250°C under 600 V DC.
Imprinting was performed at 160 °C and 30 bar for 10 min.
Due to the non-polarity of chloroform, a better imprinting was expected due to strong interaction of functional monomer with the Fe(III -complex.
