According to Achinstein, other competing explanations (e.g., an explanation which just gave the quantitative expression governing scattering but did not connect this to claims about atomic structure) can satisfy the various traditional criteria for explanatory goodness found in the philosophy of science literature (such explanations may have a DN structure, describe causes, be unifying etc).
These lines have previously been used to identify novel quantitative loci governing hematological traits (Burgio et al. 2007), fertility traits (L'Hote et al. 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011; Laissue et al. 2009), hematologic disorders (Santos et al. 2009, 2010), and skull shape variation (Burgio et al. 2009, 2012) [for more details, see the review Dejager et al. (2009)].
This will enhance selection efficiency, especially of quantitative traits governed by a large number of genes and influenced with G × E interaction via marker-assisted selection.
The quantitative underlying mechanism governing the geometry of the different self-folded 3-D structures is revealed through simple geometrical modeling and FEM simulations.
In addition, a comprehensive quantitative analysis of governing factors, e.g., shapes, sizes, and displacements of nails, states of charge, and penetration speeds, was conducted.
We conducted a cross-sectional study using quantitative data from a national survey of government hospital governing boards in Ethiopia during 2011 linked with hospital performance data from the Ethiopian national performance management system.
In this study, we used a population of 168 F14 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from two indica rice parents Pusa 1342, a highly resistant variety and Pusa Basmati 1121, a highly susceptible variety to map quantitative trait loci (QTLs) governing resistance against Bakanae disease.
Experiments performed under two different environmental conditions led to the detection of two major and two minor quantitative trait loci (QTLs) governing partial resistance to Pst and called PRP-Ps1 to PRP-Ps4.
Although the proposed model is just a first step we argue that the quantitative understanding of the governing principles of the pluripotency network, which requires the application of mathematical approaches, is an essential key to a comprehensive perception of ES cell behaviour.
Therefore, in this study, high-density single-feature polymorphic markers and simple sequence repeats were used to map quantitative trait loci (QTLs) governing root system architecture in an inter-specific soybean mapping population developed from a cross between Glycine max and Glycine soja.
