    摘要: The invention relates to methods of increasing genetic merit of swine by establishing a plurality of mating subtypes for a line of swine, and determining a percentage of progeny that are male for each of the mating subtypes, or a percentage of progeny that are female for each of the mating subtypes, that would result, relative to a control, in an increase in genetic merit in the line; the invention further relates to sorting a sperm cell sample from a male swine in one of the mating subtypes into one or more subpopulations of sperm cells, wherein a majority of sperm cells in a subpopulation of sperm cells bear X chromosomes or Y chromosomes, and inseminating one or more female swine in the one of the mating subtypes with the subpopulation of sperm cells to achieve the percentage of progeny that are male, or the percentage of progeny that are female, determined to increase genetic merit relative to the control.

    摘要: There are provided a microscopic mirror imaging device, a system and a method for calibrating a posture of a microneedle. The microscopic mirror imaging device includes a motion actuator, a mirror image former support and a mirror image former. The motion actuator is fixedly mounted on a microscope stage. One end of the mirror image former support is connected to the motion actuator. The mirror image former includes a plane mirror mounted on the other end of the mirror image former support. An angle formed between a mirror surface of the plane mirror and a horizontal plane of the microscope stage is equal to 45°, and an angle formed between the mirror surface of the plane mirror and a coronal plane of the microscope stage is equal to 45°.
