Euston Grove Press offers to interested users a free download of the book "Sewall Wright Taught Me. 2. Genetics". Here is the link. For me this is interesting, but impossible to read.

LyX-Sweave: mandatory use of control+enter in code chunks

A user of LyX-Sweave is asking:

My embarrassingly simple question is this: For class notes, I often have lots of code to include. I develop code in R, & paste code into a scrap section. But then I have to step through it all and find the spots to insert control-enter to terminate lines. Inevitably I miss a few, then the code breaks (without a clue as to where). So, is there a simple way to move the code into a scrap that bypasses the control-enter problem?

First of all, you can easily see where Sweave has problem by launching LyX from the terminal. Then you will see the output of R CMD Sweave in the terminal and you can easily spot the problematic chunk. This works on MS Windows as well as on Linux! There is some development going on with LyX and it seems that it will be possible in the future to see the Sweave log in LyX directly as it is possible for LaTeX log.

I agree that mandatory the use of cotnrol+enter in scrap (code chunk) environment is suboptimal. I also hate it! But that is the way LyX is created. One way you can avoid this for now is to not use the "scrap" environment at all - you can insert the code chunks (starting with <<>>= and ending with @) in the LaTeX code (use shortcut control+l). I tried this on my laptop and works without problems. In future versions of LyX this resctriction might be lifted.

Page2RSS

For me e-mail and RSS are two really important components of world-wide-web. However, some sites do not publish RSS, which is a pitty given that I do not have time to visit them often. In such cases Page2RSS service can be used to be informed about sites changes. I find this service today and I hope it will work fine.

S kozami nad plevel

Lep primer, kako lahko s kozami uspešno "saniramo" zaraščeno površino s pleveli. Uspeh na slikah je kar preveč dober. Če bi imeli bistveno večjo površino, uspeh najbrž ne bi bil tako dober - pri tem je ključna obtežba - za "čiščenje" mora biti obtežba ZELO velika.

9th WCGALP - next year

The website for the 9th WCGALP (World Congress on Genetics Applied to Life Stock Production) is online. There is not much there yet, but this will surely change with time.

Here is a link to previous WCGALP in Brasil in 2006. I can not find the website of the 7th anymore - it was held in Montpellier (France).

Evaluation of different approaches for the estimation of daily yield from single milk testing scheme in cattle

Janez finnished and submitted the paper "Evaluation of different approaches for the estimation of daily yield from single milk testing scheme in cattle". He did the majority of job! I improved his work a bit with the comments and restructuring/rewritting some parts of the paper.
