“…Many have demonstrated a negative impact of FROH on body size (Fredrickson et al, 2012;Lacy et al, 2013;Fareed et al, 2014;Cecci et al, 2018). We regressed the median shoulder measurement for each dog against FROH and found that in this dataset, FROH was not appreciably correlated with median reported height at the shoulder (Fig S1a,P=.71).…”

Inbreeding depression has been demonstrated to impact vital rates, productivity, and performance in many domestic species. Many in the field have demonstrated the value of genomic measures of inbreeding compared to pedigree-based estimates of inbreeding; further, standardized, high-quality phenotype data on all individuals is invaluable for longitudinal analyses of a study cohort. We compared measures of reproductive fitness in a small cohort of Golden Retrievers enrolled in the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study (GRLS) to a genomic measurement of inbreeding, FROH. We demonstrate a statistically significant negative correlation between fecundity and FROH.This work sets the stage for larger scale analyses to investigate genomic regions associated with fecundity and other measures of fitness.

“…The body weight is very much dependent on height; therefore, in medical applications, it is preferred to refer to the Body Mass Index (BMI), that is, the body mass divided by the square of the height [64]. For each country, Walpole et al [65] used available data on BMI and height distribution to estimate average adult body mass.…”

This paper presents a numerical study on the deterministic and probabilistic serviceability assessment of footbridge vibrations due to a single walker crossing. The dynamic response of the footbridge is analyzed by means of modal analysis, considering only the first lateral and vertical modes. Single span footbridges with uniform mass distribution are considered, with different values of the span length, natural frequencies, mass, and structural damping and with different support conditions. The load induced by a single walker crossing the footbridge is modeled as a moving sinusoidal force either in the lateral or in the vertical direction. The variability of the characteristics of the load induced by walkers is modeled using probability distributions taken from the literature defining a Standard Population of walkers. Deterministic and probabilistic approaches were adopted to assess the peak response. Based on the results of the simulations, deterministic and probabilistic vibration serviceability assessment methods are proposed, not requiring numerical analyses. Finally, an example of the application of the proposed method to a truss steel footbridge is presented. The results highlight the advantages of the probabilistic procedure in terms of reliability quantification.

To gather information about active lifestyle and its impact on current population of children, a research of a representative sample of children aged 6-14 was conducted between 1997 and 2007. Within the research project, 17,978 healthy children (51% boys and 49% girls) and 1,382 child patients (52% boys and 48% girls) aged 6-14 were examined (in laboratory conditions/outside laboratory). Information about physical activities performed during the week (their amount and form) was obtained through questionnaires and was verified in a representative sample of the target population via Sporttester. Apart from information about their current physical regime we asked children about the current and past physical regime of their parents (approx. 40% of observed children's parents were thus investigated).Health status was evaluated by methods recommended by the Czech Medical Association.The amount of weekly realized physical activities significantly decrease with age increase in both boys and girls.Children leading active lifestyle, i.e. performing suitable physical activities for at least 5 hours a week, are more physically fit, have substantially less health problems (e.g. lower number of subjects with overweight and obesity, lower prevalence of higher BP, etc.) and lifestyle diseases associated with hypokinesia in general.Exercise intervention programmes of about 3-5 hours a week that can be run at schools will bring about positive changes in children's health status and will not have negative impact on their study results.
