Full textThe achievement of high yield in maize (Zea mays L.) relies on the development of hybrids, which is the main product of breeding programs. The success in obtaining this kind of cultivar is achieved through extensive crossing of inbred lines followed by field trials to identify the combinations with greatest potential. Generally, breeders have a large number of inbred lines on their hands, being able to perform hundreds to thousands of different crosses, of which only a small portion can be experimentally evaluated due to time and resource limitations. Genomic Selection (GS) has made it possible to predict phenotypes of unevaluated individuals based on their genome. Throughout the establishment process of GS many approaches have been proposed. The ability of these approaches at predicting phenotypic performance depends on their capacity of accommodating the genetic architecture of the traits and dealing with the multicollinearity of the genomic matrices. Hence, methods based on mixed model equations may present lower prediction efficiency for oligogenic traits due to their inability of depicting the real distribution of the QTL effects. Moreover, the prediction regularization in the presence of multicollinearity is done by a shrinkage factor (λ), which can be estimated in a number of ways and may affect the accuracy of the models. In addition to the improvement of the models, the correction of the phenotype utilized in the predictions is also important, which is not a consensus among researchers. Based on these facts, this study aimed to assess the effect of estimation of λ (by REML in the GS model and by the heritability of the traits) and the correction of the phenotype (genotypic value and adjusted mean) on the GS. It also targeted to evaluate the effect of differential modeling of major makers on the prediction accuracy of G-BLUP, comparing it to Bayesian LASSO, BayesB and ordinary G-BLUP. To those ends, tropical maize single-crosses evaluated at five sites for grain yield, plant and ear height in 2015 were utilized. The genomic data was obtained with the Affymetrix® Axiom® Maize Genotyping Array of 616,201 SNPs. Distinct GS scenarios were studied considering the aforementioned factors which were compared by their prediction and selection accuracy. The results suggest that the correction of the phenotype and the way of estimation of λ do affect prediction accuracies. The use of genotypic values as the correction of phenotypes and the estimation of λ by REML showed best results. It was also observed that modeling major SNPs as fixed effect factors had little improvement on the prediction accuracy of G-BLUP for the oligogenic traits evaluated (plant and ear height). Thereby, ordinary G-BLUP should be the method of choice to predict these traits. Additionally, it was observed that GS presented modest efficiency for selecting superior hybrids under moderate intensities. However, its high effectiveness at selecting under low intensities might be exploited on maize breeding programs for early direct selection.

Full textWe consider optimal estimation and prediction of latent values based on data subject to endogenous and exogenous measurement errors, obtained via simple random sample from a finite population. We consider a finite population mixed model (FPMM) with endogenous and exogenous measurement errors proposed by Stanek III et al. (2004) and Stanek III & Singer (2004) and obtained the best linear unbiased predictor (BLUP) of the latent value of the i-th unit selected in the sample. When the endogenous variances are heteroscedastic, the predictor obtained under the FPMM is different than the predictor obtained with the usual mixed model, because the shrinkage constant depends on the average of the individual variances. We consider simulation studies to compare the predictor obtained under the usual mixed model (used according to the usual interpretation) with the predictor obtained under the FPMM, and show that the former is biased, but usually presents smaller (or slightly larger) mean squared error (MSE) than the predictor obtained under the FPMM. Additionally, we indicate how two commonly used statistical software packages (SAS\'s Proc MIXED and R\'s lme(nlme) ) may be employed to fit mixed models in situations with heteroscedastic or homoscedastic exogenous and endogenous errors.

Full textDyes are widely used in different types of industries, such as textile, pharmaceutical, food, cosmetics, photographic, among others. However, these substances can be toxic, mutagenic and resistant to many degradation processes used in wastewater treatment. It is estimated that about 15% of the dyes used in the world is lost during the dyeing process and released into the environment, affecting mainly water bodies. However, despite the large amount of commercial dyes available and high quantity released in the aquatic ecosystem, studies on the toxicity of these substances are scarce and little is known about their mutagenic and ecotoxicological effects. Considering that, the aim of this study was to evaluate the ecotoxicity, and the ability of the Reactive Blue 4 (RB 4) and Reactive Blue 15 (RB 15) textile dyes to damage the genetic material, using acute toxicity tests with Daphnia similis and Vibrio fischeri, Ceriodaphnia dubia chronic toxicity, genotoxicity (Comet assay) in human dermal fibroblasts and mutagenicity with Salmonella typhimurium. Additionally, we assessed the concentration of copper in Ceriodaphnia dubia exposed to the Reactive Blue 15 dye, which has this metal in its chemical structure. The RB 4 dye was moderately toxic and RB 15 dye was relatively non-toxic to Daphnia similis. Both dyes reduced the Vibrio fischeri luminescence in high concentrations, and the RB 4 was more toxic to bacteria when compared to dye RB 15. The RB 4 dye induced hormesis effect in the C. dubia tests. We observed that the reproduction was stimulated at lower concentrations followed by a decrease at higher concentrations. While the RB 15 dye reduced fecundity of Ceriodaphnia dubia. There was no accumulation of copper in organisms exposed to the RB 15 dye. None of the dyes were genotoxic to human dermal fibroblasts, and only the RB 4 dye induced mutagenicity, by base-pair substitution. The results show that the dyes can cause adverse effects on organisms even at low concentrations and that the continuous release of these substances in water bodies is worrying.

One of the notable distinctions of traditional animation techniques is the emphasis placed on motion. Objects in motion often make use of visual stylistic effects to visually enhance the motion, such as speed lines or afterimages. Unfortunately, at present, 2D animation makes much more use of these techniques than 3D animation, which is especially clear in the stylistic differences between 2D and 3D videogames. For 3D videogame designers fond of the look and feel of traditional animation, it would be beneficial if 3D models could emulate that 2D style. In that regard, I propose two techniques that use the location history of 3D models to, in real time, construct non-photorealistic motion blur effects in the vein of 2D traditional animation. With these procedural techniques, designers can maximize the convenience of 3D models while still retaining an aesthetic normally constrained to 2D animation.

One of the long-standing challenges in photography is motion blur. Blur artifacts are generated from relative motion between a camera and a scene during exposure. While blur can be reduced by using a shorter exposure, this comes at an unavoidable trade-off with increased noise. Therefore, it is desirable to remove blur computationally. To remove blur, we need to (i) estimate how the image is blurred (i.e. the blur kernel or the point-spread function) and (ii) restore a natural looking image through deconvolution. Blur kernel estimation is challenging because the algorithm needs to distinguish the correct imageblur pair from incorrect ones that can also adequately explain the blurred image. Deconvolution is also difficult because the algorithm needs to restore high frequency image contents attenuated by blur. In this dissertation, we address a few aspects of these challenges. We introduce an insight that a blur kernel can be estimated by analyzing edges in a blurred photograph. Edge profiles in a blurred image encode projections of the blur kernel, from which we can recover the blur using the inverse Radon transform. This method is computationally attractive and is well suited to images with many edges. Blurred edge profiles can also serve as additional cues for existing kernel estimation algorithms. We introduce a method to integrate this information into a maximum-a-posteriori kernel estimation framework, and show its benefits. Deconvolution algorithms restore information attenuated by blur using an image prior that exploits a heavy-tailed gradient profile of natural images. We show, however, that such a sparse prior does not accurately model textures, thereby degrading texture renditions in restored images. To address this issue, we introduce a content-aware image prior that adapts its characteristics to local textures. The adapted image prior improves the quality of textures in restored 6 images. Sometimes even the content-aware image prior may be insufficient for restoring rich textures. This issue can be addressed by matching the restored image's gradient distribution to its original image's gradient distribution, which is estimated directly from the blurred image. This new image deconvolution technique called iterative distribution reweighting (IDR) improves the visual realism of reconstructed images. Subject motion can also cause blur. Removing subject motion blur is especially challenging because the blur is often spatially variant. In this dissertation, we address a restricted class of subject motion blur: the subject moves at a constant velocity locally. We design a new computational camera that improves the local motion estimation and, at the same time, reduces the image information loss due to blur.
