Improvement in genomic prediction of maize with prior gene ontology information depends on traits and environmental conditions by Baber Ali, Tristan Mary‐Huard, Alain Charcosset, Laurence Moreau, Renaud Rincent

“…Overall, results of all GFBLUP models compared to GBLUP show that the former might be less efficient than the latter. Even though we could not identify a prior criterion to determine which GO terms can offer benefit to a given trait, we could a posteriori find biological interpretations of the results, meaning that GFBLUP could be helpful if more about the gene functions and their relationships with the growth conditions was known.…”

IDENTIFYING REASONS FOR STUDENTS LEARNING ACTIVITY IN VOCATIONAL TECHNICAL EDUCATION by PLĂMĂDEALĂ, Vasile, SUGAC, Olga, GOIAN, Vladimir

“…The fundamental changes taking place in socio-economic life, both in the country and abroad in recent years, have required a revision of priorities in the system of training engineering personnel and have identified one of the most important goals of a higher technical school – the preparation of the future engineer for independent professional and creative activity, as a necessary condition for the formation of the student's personality, motivated by the creative realization of personal potential, professional skills and abilities. Among the psychological and pedagogical problems of higher education, the most significant is the problem of developing the educational motivation of students, since a high level of educational motivation is one of the most effective means of increasing the efficiency and quality of the educational process. …”
