Biochar copper nanocomposite modified sensor for the green electroanalytical sensing of paraquat
Abstract Paraquat (PQ) is a widely used herbicide categorized as an environmental contaminant due to its high toxicity and risk to aquatic ecosystems and human health. In this study, we developed a Screen-printed Disposable Polyethylene Terephthalate (SD-PET) sensor using a green...

Pair-based covariance under mixed mating and its consequences for REML variance estimation
Abstract This organism-independent theoretical study examines genomic evaluation of open-pollinated progeny from partially selfing species when the fitted genetic covariance contains only an additive genomic relationship matrix. Open-pollinated families contain selfed-selfed, sel...
