The data of fatty acid composition of intermuscular fat on the graded surface from 1,095 Japanese black cattle were collected both by the handheld fiber-optic near-infrared spectrometry (NIR method) and the gas chromatography (GC method). The phenotypic correlations of fatty acid composition between estimated by NIR method and GC method were high (0.76-0.81), and genetic correlations were also high (0.92-0.97). The heritability of fatty acid composition by GC method (0.64-0.71) was higher than NIR method (0.39-0.45). The predicted breeding values of paternal 121 sires about oleic, monounsaturated, and saturated fatty acid composition were highly correlated between GC method and NIR method.
Electrophotographic behaviour of a plate having two-layer structure consisting of a CdS-resin and an insulating layers is investigated. Three processes are used in which positive corona discharge is commonly applied at Step 1. Process 1 and Process 2 are different in Step 2, as negative corona discharge and ac corona discharge are used respectively with simultaneous exposure. Process 1 is better to obtain high contrast voltage than Process 2, even if the same plate is used. This is ascribed to the fact that Process 1 can widen the surface potential of the plate over its saturation potential. Process 2 does not give the contrast voltage difference between two plates with different properties, although Process 1 clearly distinguishes these plates from each another. The relationship between light part and dark part of surface potentials at Step 2 in Process 1 is opposite to that in Process 2, although the relationship is the same at Step 3. When plates are not charged to show their saturation (acceptance) potentials at Step 1, those behave differently, depending on whether the plates are charged with simultaneous light image projection soon after Step 1 (Process 1) or after uniform illumination following Step 1 (Process 3). Properties of photoconductors are investigated and the behaviour difference between plates is analyzed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
