Sentence examples for to breeding performance from inspiring English sources

Through the calculations of neutronics and neutronic/thermohydraulic (N T) coupling, the results indicate that the introduced conceptual design of a breeding Th–U mixed fuel assembly in SCWR satisfies design rules of SCWR, with considerable advantages with respect to breeding performance, lower minor actinide generation and reactor safety.

However, the immediate release of pied flycatchers at a distant site (250 km away) resulted in a high proportion of birds disappearing from this new location (>80%, [23]), therefore making it difficult to compare breeding performance of translocated and philopatric birds.

The inventory of the core and external stockpiles have to be treated separately in order to quantify the breeding performance of the reactor.

One of the main goals is to assess the neutronic behaviour of such devices to analyse their tritium breeding performance and to evaluate the required data for their thermal mechanic and thermal hydraulic design.

The aim of this study was to compare the breeding performance of GH transgenic and nontransgenic Atlantic salmon males of both alternative reproductive phenotypes to test for the potential of the transgene to introgress into wild populations.

Although we cannot exclude the possibility that our constructs bind to endogenous proteins and interfere with cellular physiology, we did not observe any abnormalities in the transgenic mice generated, with respect to cage behaviour, breeding performance and expression of marker proteins.

Further work is thus required to compare the breeding performance of transgenic and nontransgenic salmon in a range of ecologically relevant scenarios.

Initially all cattle were Bos taurus breeds (especially Shorthorn); now almost all are Bos indicus or their crosses, which are better adapted, with greater resistance to heat stress, stronger resistance to ticks, increased foraging ability and a higher forage intake (Frisch and Vercoe, 1977; Siebert, 1982), leading to superior growth, breeding performance and survival.

To establish whether the reduction in breeding performance was due to an overall reduction in the ovulatory capacity, females were primed with external gonadotropins and their ovulatory response quantitated.

Although transgenic males displayed reduced breeding performance relative to nontransgenics, both male reproductive phenotypes demonstrated the ability to participate in natural spawning events and thus have the potential to contribute genes to subsequent generations.

This blanket design has been proposed to overcome some difficulties met in the assessment of the previous version (mainly its poor tritium breeding performance due to the relatively high steel fraction in the blanket module) developed in the frame of the EFDA physics, design and technology studies during the period 2011 2013.
