Longevity of Cane Corso Italiano dog breed and its relationship with hair colour

The Cane Corso Italiano belongs among the new dog breeds that were fully recognised by Federation Cynologique Internationale (FCI) in 2007. For the first time, this study describes a median lifespan using the data of 232 dogs of the Cane Corso Italiano breed collected from kennels and individual owners from 25 countries. The median lifespan of the whole examined group is 9.29 years (IQR 6.98-11.12, IQR = Interquartile Range). This paper is the first to describe the possible relationship between median lifespan and hair colour within one breed. The longest living group is formed by black brindle coloured dogs, with a median of 10.30 years (IQR 8.33-13.00), and brindle coloured dogs, with a median of 10.13 years (IQR 7.12-11.25). The median lifespan of black brindle dogs exceeded the overall median lifespan of all dogs by 1.01 year and the median lifespan of other colour dogs by 2.21 years. Our results suggest a possible way for a prolongation of age at death of the Cane Corso Italiano breed using appropriate breeding. The median lifespan of male Cane Corso Italiano dogs is 9.25 years (IQR 6.97-11.00) and female Cane Corso Italiano dogs 9.33 years (IQR 7.00-11.31). The statistical analysis using the Independent Samples Student’s t test confirmed that the lifespan of female dogs did not exceed the median lifespan of male dogs (P>0.01)

Comparative Analysis of Competing Suppliers of Electricity to Households

V teoretické části této diplomové práce vysvětlím základní pojmy klíčové pro pochopení celé práce. Rád bych zde vysvětlil teorii související s trhem elektrické energie v České republice a strategickou analýzou vnějšího prostředí. Zároveň zde budou nastíněny a uvedeny základní energetické pojmy, složení ceny elektrické energie, historie otevírání trhu s elektrickou energií, působnost Energetického regulačního úřadu a detaily cenového kalkulátoru. Dále se zaměřím na popsání jednotlivých nástrojů strategické analýzy vnějšího prostředí. V praktické části charakterizuji celé odvětví, provedu externí strategickou analýzu a srovnám konkrétní dodavatele elektrické energie domácnostem.In the theoretical part of this diploma thesis I will explain basic keywords for understanding the entire work. I would like to explain here the related theory of the electricity market in the Czech Republic and strategic analysis of the external environment. Also here will be indicated and introduced basic energy terms, composition of the electricity prices, history of the electricity market opening, activity of the Energy Regulatory Office and details of the price calculator. Further I will focus on description of the specific external analysis tools. In the practical part of this work I will characterize the whole industry, perform strategic analysis and compare specific suppliers of electricity to households

Production of fast growing trees in agriculture of Czech Canada

In the theoretical part of this work I will explain basic keywords for understanding of the entire work. I would like to explain here related theory of renewable energy resources, planting of fast growing trees, their species and possibilities of production. Also here will be indicated and introduced positive influences of cultivation fast growing trees and in required rate explained terms related to drainage conditions in the countryside and the countryside character. Further I will focus on specific opportunities of utilization fast growing trees and I will explain practical influences on local economy, ecology a other thing in necessary rate.

Inheritance of coat colour in the cane Corso Italiano dog

Abstract Background The inheritance of different coat colours in the Cane Corso Italiano dog has not been described thus far. We analysed data from 23,271 dogs and bitches using the Cane Corso Italiano Pedigree Database. We are describing for the first time the coat colour segregation ratios in Cane Corso Italiano offspring arising from crosses between parents of all possible coat colour combinations. Results Segregation ratios that do not follow a Mendelian pattern suggest that additional genes are active in the determination of coat colour. Segregation ratios of offspring produced by parental crossing (male colour A x female colour B) were compared with the ratios of offspring produced by reciprocal crossing (male colour B x female colour A) in all possible coat colour combinations. Most of the segregation ratios were the same, but some segregation ratios in reciprocal crosses differed. This result suggests that at least one gene responsible for coat colour is located on a sex chromosome. The sex ratio was analysed in the offspring of all colour groups. A ratio of 1:1 was not confirmed in 8 colour groups by the chi-square test. Conclusions We described for the first time coat colour segregation ratios in Cane Corso Italiano dogs. Furthermore, we present the hypothesis that at least one gene responsible for coat colour is located on a sex chromosome
