Congenital pulmonic and aortic stenosis in Newfoundland dogs: Results of a 14-year French cardiovascular screening program (921 dogs). by Valérie Chetboul, Constance Fauveau, Peggy Passavin

“…<h4>Introduction</h4>Aortic stenosis (AS) and pulmonic stenosis (PS) are two of the most common canine congenital heart diseases (CHD), with a high relative risk for Newfoundland dogs to develop inherited subvalvular AS. For this reason, a cardiovascular screening program has been set up by the French Newfoundland kennel club in order to manage mattings and reduce AS prevalence.…”

Factors to affect inbred beet plants while developing material for linear selection by M. I. Fedorova, E. G. Kozar, S. A. Vetrova, V. A. Zayachkovskyi, V. A. Stepanov

“…The SI plants have more degenerating embryos than self-fertile ones, but seed vessel outgrowth in the seeds with abortive embryos makes them morphologically similar to fertile seeds. For that reason, when assessing inbred beet plants based on their self-incompatibility/self-fertility, one should consider the qualitative characteristics of the seeds. …”

Study on Impact Tendency of Coal and Rock Mass Based on Different Stress Paths by Chengliang Zhang, Danyong Ye, Ping Yang, Shunchuan Wu, Chao Wang

“…The results are shown as follows: (1) The rock roof was determined to have a weak impact tendency through the mechanical test. (2) With the increased size, the microcracks in the rock samples increased correspondingly, and the increased meso-defect leading to the increased heterogeneity was an essential reason for the size effect. The strength of the rock mass decreased with the increased specimen size. …”
