An orthogonal genetic algorithm is developed for solving the binary linear implicit programming problem based on the orthogonal design. The orthogonal design with the factor analysis, an experimental design method is applied to the genetic algorithm to make the algorithm more robust, statistical y sound and quickly convergent. A crossover operator formed by the orthogonal array and the factor analysis is presented. First, this crossover operator can generate a smal but representative sample of points as offspring. After al of the better genes of these offspring are selected, a best combination among these offspring is then generated. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.展开更多

One is that the follower＇s functions are separable with respect to the follower＇s variables, and the other is that the follower＇s functions are convex if the follower＇s variables are not restricted to integers. A genetic algorithm based on an exponential distribution is proposed for the aforementioned problems. First, for each fixed leader＇s variable x, it is proved that the optimal solution y of the follower＇s mixed-integer programming can be obtained by solving associated relaxed problems, and according to the convexity of the functions involved, a simplified branch and bound approach is given to solve the follower＇s programming for the second class of problems. Furthermore, based on an exponential distribution with a parameter λ, a new crossover operator is designed in which the best individuals are used to generate better offspring of crossover. The simulation results illustrate that the proposed algorithm is efficient and robust.展开更多

To insure long term success and viability in a worldwide competitive industry such as pork, there is need for a National Swine Genetic Improvement Program. This program needs to draw on expertise and technology from across the world for its development, but it should be based on the structure of the pig industry in China and be led by Chinese scientists, administrators and producers. National Genetic Improvement requires more than just technology. A successful program of national genetic improvement will require cooperation from the industry and the government. The support for the university system is essential for the success of the pig industry. The university system has a vital role on education (of students, faculty, producers and consumers) as well as research and technology transfer. The government could also have a role in supporting the central test stations and AI stations across the country. An accurate and comprehensive pedigree maintenance system is essential to genetic improvement. And it will be vitally important to be active in the importation of new genetics to sample other populations.展开更多

However, strong selection mainly on growth and number of born alive decreased fitness and reduced environmental changes that animals can tolerate especially under suboptimal environments. Additional challenges are genetic differences between purebreds (selected animals) and crossbreds (commercial animals), and possibly different environments for these groups of animals. A successful genetic selection at this time requires comprehensive data for all levels of the pyramid, multitrait models for a variety of traits including categorical and survival, and software that can implement complicated models while supporting large data sets. Many projects in pig genetic evaluation are carried out at the University of Georgia. Those studies are supported by software family called BGF90.展开更多
