A study based on completely randomized design with three replications was carried out at Tuber Crops Research Centre (TCRC), Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI), Gazipur with a view to evaluating and classifying agro-morphological traits in 12 potato varieties to enumerating the genetic diversity. Discriminant function analysis (DFA) was done to determine the set of discriminatory functions contributed to separating 12 potato varieties into four distinct clusters. Discriminant function analysis showed that, function 1 explained 78.21% and function 2 explained 21.79% of total variance. The first function was more related to leaf area (having coefficient value of 0.661) and second function was more related to minituber per plant and plant height (having coefficient value of 0.644 and 0.523, respectively). Among 4 clusters, cluster II showed the highest distance (29.79) with cluster III followed by the distance between clusters III and IV (24.70) so the varieties in these clusters were genetically diverse. Based on mean value of the six quantitative characters for each of the four clusters and the inter cluster distance the cluster III and IV might be selected for future breeding program as a better parent to get positive heterosis. Cluster III contained six varieties BARI Alu 29, BARI Alu 35, BARI Alu 36, BARI Alu 37, BARI Alu 7 (Diamant), BARI Alu 8 (Cardinal) and which were characterized by lowest plant height and average values for other characters. Cluster IV contained three potato varieties BARI Alu 41, BARI Alu 46 and BARI Alu 53 which was characterized by highest plant height and second highest leaf area.

AbstractWhilst it is established that almost all cultivated coffee (Coffea arabica L.) varieties originated in Yemen after some coffee seeds were introduced into Yemen from neighboring Ethiopia, the actual coffee genetic diversity in Yemen and its significance to the coffee world had never been explored. We observed five genetic clusters. The first cluster, which we named the Ethiopian-Only (EO) cluster, was made up exclusively of the Ethiopian accessions. This cluster was clearly separated from the Yemen and cultivated varieties clusters, hence confirming the genetic distance between wild Ethiopian accessions and coffee cultivated varieties around the world. The second cluster, which we named the SL-17 cluster, was a small cluster of cultivated worldwide varieties and included no Yemen samples. Two other clusters were made up of worldwide varieties and Yemen samples. We named these the Yemen Typica-Bourbon cluster and the Yemen SL-34 cluster. Finally, we observed one cluster that was unique to Yemen and was not related to any known cultivated varieties and not even to any known Ethiopian accession: we name this cluster the New-Yemen cluster. We discuss the consequences of these findings and their potential to pave the way for further comprehensive genetic improvement projects for the identification of major resilience/adaptation and cup quality genes that have been shaped through the domestication process of C. arabica.

Full textAbstract:
In the present paper genetic relationships of twenty varieties of cashew are described on the basis of morphological characters and RAPD (Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNA) markers. Results obtained for the phenotypic characters based on similarity coefficient were divided into four clusters with 70% similarity. By means of similarity coefficients (SG), cluster I was found to consist of twelve varieties. Cluster II consisted of a single variety, NRCC-1, cluster III consisted of six varieties and cluster IV had only one variety, Vridhachalam-2. The analysis started by using RAPD markers that allowed us to distinguish 20 varieties. A total of 80 distinct DNA fragments ranging from 0.2 to 3.0 kb were amplified by using 11 selected random 10-mer primers. Genetic similarity analysis was conducted for the presence or absence of bands in the RAPD profile. Cluster analysis clearly showed that 20 varieties of cashew grouped into two major clusters based on similarity indices. The first major cluster comprised one minor cluster. The other major cluster was divided into two sub-minor clusters, one sub-minor cluster having three varieties and the other sub-minor cluster was represented by 15 varieties. Among the 20 varieties, Ullal-3 and Dhana (H-1608) showed the highest similarity indices (87%). It was noted that Vengurla-2 and Vengurla-3 were not grouped into a single cluster but Vengurla-4 has 82% similarity to Vengurla-3. The variety Vengurla-2 has very close similarity (85%) with variety Vridhachalam-3 (M-26/2). The analysis of genetic relationships in cashew using morphological traits and RAPD banding data can be useful for plant improvement, descriptions of new varieties and also for assessment of variety purity in plant certification programmes.

Full textAbstract:
We introduce the notion of a $Y$-pattern with coefficients and its geometric counterpart: an $\mathcal {X}$-cluster variety with coefficients. We use these constructions to build a flat degeneration of every skew-symmetrizable specially completed $\mathcal {X}$-cluster variety $\widehat {\mathcal {X} }$ to the toric variety associated to its g-fan. Moreover, we show that the fibers of this family are stratified in a natural way, with strata the specially completed $\mathcal {X}$-varieties encoded by $\operatorname {Star}(\tau )$ for each cone $\tau$ of the $\mathbf {g}$-fan. These strata degenerate to the associated toric strata of the central fiber. We further show that the family is cluster dual to $\mathcal {A}_{\mathrm {prin}}$ of Gross, Hacking, Keel and Kontsevich [Canonical bases for cluster algebras, J. Amer. Math. Soc. 31 (2018), 497–608], and the fibers cluster dual to $\mathcal {A} _t$. Finally, we give two applications. First, we use our construction to identify the toric degeneration of Grassmannians from Rietsch and Williams [Newton-Okounkov bodies, cluster duality, and mirror symmetry for Grassmannians, Duke Math. J. 168 (2019), 3437–3527] with the Gross–Hacking–Keel–Kontsevich degeneration in the case of $\operatorname {Gr}_2(\mathbb {C} ^{5})$. Next, we use it to link cluster duality to Batyrev–Borisov duality of Gorenstein toric Fanos in the context of mirror symmetry.

Model-based clustering where the inference on the parameters follow the Bayesian principle has been used to cluster 467 accessions of Indonesian rice germplasm which consist of released varieties, landraces, introduction lines, improved lines and wild species. A model-based Bayesian cluster analysis of genotype data can be used to evaluate the genetic backgrounds of rice populations of interest. Such analyses can be used to infer population structure, assign individuals to sub populations, and to study hybrid populations. Thus, the goal of this research was to examine the genotype data of numerous accession of rice germplasm using the model bayesian cluster analysis. The 1536 SNP-chip design was performed for genome scanning of the accession using the high throughput genotyping platform, the data of which were used for clustering. The result indicated that the germplasm can be clustered into five cluster based on similarities on genetic profile, i.e. similarities in gene frequencies across genome among individuals. Each cluster can be identified by reference lines, i.e. the lines or varieties that their genetic profile uniquely belong to one cluster and do not have or very rare introgression from lines or varieties of other clusters. Many introgressions have been identified among lines in all clusters which indicated that most of Indonesia rice germplasm, including local and introduced varieties were the results of crosses that occurred either in naturally fixation or breeding program activities that crossed one line/varieties to the others. There is also cluster in which no reference line and almost all lines/varieties in that cluster are known to have same common specific phenotype, e.g. aromatic.

Full textAbstract:
Genetic polymorphism and relationships among 30 commercial varieties of Bangladeshi aromatic rice (Oryza sativa L.) were established using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) primers. Out of fifty 10-mer RAPD primers screened initially, four were chosen and used in a comparative analysis of different varieties of indigenous Bangladeshi aromatic rice. Of the 33 total RAPD fragments amplified, 7 (21.21%) were found to be shared by individuals of all eight varieties. The remaining 26 fragments were found to be polymorphic (78.79%). Pair-wise estimates of similarity ranged from 0.101 to 0.911. Highest genetic diversity was determined between Radhunipagol and Dubsail varieties (0.911). The amount of genetic diversity within aromatic rice germplasm was quite high as determined by the genetic similarity coefficients between varieties. Genetic similarities obtained from RAPD data were also used to create a cluster diagram. Cluster analysis using an un-weighted pair-group method with arithmetic averages (UPGMA) was used to group the varieties and the 30 aromatic rice varieties were grouped into 6 clusters where cluster I includes the maximum number of varieties (9). Cluster VI includes minimum number of varieties (2). This Study offered a rapid and reliable method for the estimation of variability between different varieties which could be utilized by the breeders for further improvement of the local aromatic rice varieties.

The aim of the study was to improve the method of soybean collection material assessment with the purpose of choosing pairs for hybridization using cluster analysis, to cluster samples according to the duration of growing period, plant height, the height of lower pod attachment, stem thickness in the lower part, the number of branches and productive joints on a plant, the number of pods and seeds per plant, the number of seeds in a pod, seed weight per plant, yield (g/m2 ), and the resistance to lodging and bean cracking. Based on the conducted cluster analysis of one hundred and forty-five soybean collection samples concerning the determined signs, it has been established that the collection material was distributed within five clusters. Soybean genotypes have been singled out as carriers of a high level of quantitative characteristics, especially the signs of yield potential which can be used as a promising selection material. The samples having analogous set of signs in the cluster and reliable distinction from others have been united in a separate cluster. The samples of the first cluster in the collection are characterized by average and close to average values of all the studied characteristics. The samples of the second cluster are characterized by high values as to the number of branches and productive joints on a plant and also the number of beans per plant. The third cluster consisted of samples having high values of the number of seeds in a bean. However, as to other signs, the samples of this group have low values. The samples of the fourth cluster are later-maturing, than those in the first three groups. They are characterized by larger plant height and the height of lower bean attachment. The fifth sample cluster is distinguished by the longest growing period and high values of the majority of signs except the number of seeds in a bean and also resistance to lodging and bean splitting. The parent forms were in four clusters out of five ones. The cluster analysis helped to conduct the choosing of parent pairs for hybridization and creation of soybean new initial material. The advantage of cluster analysis consists in being able to identify collection samples in balance according to the complex of valuable economic characteristics, rather than single out genotypes according to separate quantitative signs. Key words: soybean, selection, collection, sample, cluster, cluster analysis, initial material.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis identifies a discrepancy in the understanding of peace as a need for further efforts to be made in both the conceptualization and operationalization of what peace is. Working from the pluralistic multidimensional view of what peace could be defined as, dictated by the works of Dietrich (2014), Kovacs-Söderberg and Höglund (2010) and Davenport et al. (2018), this thesis set out to explore structures present in the descriptive variables of peacefulness found in the Global Peace Index data set. Through a multivariate cluster analysis, six clusters emerged. These inhibited differing magnitudes of the set of variables, that served as the basis for profiling and labelling of the clusters. Five of the clusters were defined as varying levels of internal and external qualities, behaviors and attitudes. The sixth cluster served as a more peaceful category, containing most countries traditionally understood as peaceful. The thesis concluded in a result that encourages the use of the clustering as a tool for peace categorization but lacked in the power of explaining variations of the most peaceful category. Concluding that the included variables proved to be inadequate when attempting to uncover variations of observations that are considered more peaceful, suggesting that additional variables are needed to capture the variety between these observations.

Dans cette thèse nous établissons des liens entre la théorie des nœuds et la théorie des variétés amassées.

Nous étendons le modèle à la torsion de Milnor de l'extérieur d'un entrelacs.

Les variétés modelées sur le diagramme de Dynkin de type A, construites par Fock et Goncharov, sont munies d'une application d'évaluation. La composition de notre l'application avec l'application d'évaluation restreinte à la sous-variété donne une généralisation de la représentation de Burau réduite du groupoïde des tresses colorées et orientées. Nous donnons une construction similaire pour la représentation de Burau non réduite du groupoïde des tresses colorées et orientées. Nous adaptons les deux constructions précédentes pour les tresses cylindriques colorées orientées. Dans ce cas, les variétés amassées associées sont modelées sur le diagramme de Dynkin de type A affine<br>In this thesis we establish connections between knot theory and the theory of cluster varieties. We reinterpret the dimer model for the Alexander polynomial of a knot of Cohen, Dasbach and Russel in the context of cluster varieties. We extend the model to the Milnor torsion of a link exterior. We construct an application which associates with a representative of a colored and oriented braid, a pair consisting of a cluster variety modeled on the type A Dynkin diagram and a sub-variety of the latter. The varieties modeled on the type A Dynkin diagram, constructed by Fock and Goncharov, are equipped with an evaluation map. The composition of our application with the evaluation map restricted to the sub-variety gives a generalization of the reduced Burau representation of the groupoid of colored and oriented braids. We give a similar construction for the unreduced Burau representation of the groupoid of colored and oriented braids. We adapt the two previous constructions for the colored oriented cylindrical braids. In this case, the associated cluster varieties are modeled on the affine type A Dynkin diagram

Les algèbres amassées sont des anneaux commutatifs intègres avec une structure combinatoire particulière.Cette structure consiste en la donnée d’une famille de graines, liées entre elles par une opération appelée mutation.Chaque graine est composée de deux parties : un amas et un carquois.Les variétés de Richardson ouvertes sont des strates de la variété de drapeaux associée à un groupe linéairealgébrique de type simplement lacé. Elles sont l’intersection de cellules de Schubert respectivement à deux sous-groupes de Borel opposés. Dans [Lec16], une sous-algèbre amassée de rang maximal sur l’anneau de coordonnéesd’une variété de Richardson ouverte a été construite et cette sous-algèbre est conjecturée être égale à l’anneauentier. La construction de cette algèbre amassée provient d’une catégorie de Frobenius C v,w de modules surl’algèbre préprojective, définie comme intersection de deux catégories C w et C v déjà étudiées par Geiss, Leclerc,Schröer et Buan, Iyama, Reiten et Scott. Le lien entre les algèbres amassées et les structures amassées est donnépar le caractère d’amas défini dans [GLS06].Dans cette thèse, nous construisons un algorithme qui, étant donné les paramètres définissant une variété deRichardson ouverte, construit un module rigide maximal explicite de la catégorie de Frobenius associée et soncarquois. Cet algorithme a pour donnée de départ la graine initiale pour la structure amassée sur C w définiepar un représentant w d’un élément w du groupe de Weyl. Par le biais d’une suite de mutations déterminéecombinatoirement, on obtient à partir de la graine initiale un module rigide maximal de C w qui, à suppressionde certains facteurs directs près, est un module rigide maximal de C v,w . De plus le sous-carquois du carquoismuté est exactement le carquois de l’algèbre d’endomorphisme du module rigide maximal de C v,w donnant alorsla description complète d’une graine initiale pour la structure amassée de C v,w<br>Cluster algebras are integral domains with a particular combinatorial structure. This structure consists in thedata of a family of seeds linked together by an operation called mutation. Each seed consists in two parts : acluster and a quiver.Richardson open varieties are some strata of the flag variety associated to a simple linear algebraic groupof simply-laced type. These are the intersection of Schubert cells with respect to two opposite Borel subgroups.In [Lec16] a cluster subalgebra of maximal rank on the coordinate ring of an open Richardson variety has beenconstructed and this subalgebra is conjectured to be equal to the whole ring. The construction of this clusteralgebra comes from a Frobenius category C v,w of modules over the preprojective algebra, defined as the intersectionof two categories C w and C v already studied by Geiss, Leclerc, Schröer and Buan, Iyama, Reiten and Scott. Thebond between cluster algebras and cluster structures is given by the cluster character defined in [GLS06].In this thesis we build an algorithm which, given the parameters defining a Richardson open variety, computean explicit maximal rigid module of the associated Frobenius category and its quiver. This algorithm has aninitial seed for the cluster structure on C w defined by a representative w of an element w of the Weyl group as astarting datum. By a combinatorially defined sequence of mutation on this initial seed we obtain a maximal rigidmodule of C w which is, up to deletion of some direct summands is a maximal rigid module of C v,w . In addition,the subquiver of the mutated quiver is exactly the quiver of the endomorphism algebra of the C v,w -maximal rigidmodule, giving then the complete description of an initial seed for the cluster structure on C v,w

Full textAbstract:
This book considers the null-subject phenomenon, whereby some languages lack an overtly realized referential subject in specific contexts. In generative syntax—the approach adopted in this volume—the phenomenon has traditionally been explained in terms of a ‘pro-drop’ parameter with associated cluster properties; more recently, however, it has become clear that pro-drop phenomena do not always correlate with all the initially predicted cluster properties. This volume returns to the centre of the debate surrounding the empirical phenomena associated with null subjects. Experts in the field explore the cluster properties associated with pro-drop; the types of null category involved in null-subject phenomena and their identification; and the typology of null-subject languages, with a special focus on partial null-subject languages. Chapters include both novel empirical data and new theoretical analyses covering the major approaches to null subjects in generative grammar. A wide range of languages are examined, ranging from the most commonly studied in research into null subjects, such as Finnish and Italian, to lesser-studied languages such as Vietnamese and Polish, minority languages such as Cimbrian and Kashubian, and historical varieties such as Old French and Old High German. The research presented also contributes to the understanding of other key syntactic phenomena, such as the nature of control, the role of information structure and semantics in syntax, the mechanisms of language change, and the formalization of language variation.

Full textAbstract:
English in East Africa is a well-developed usage variety (or a cluster of usage varieties), although it is not as indigenized as in West Africa, for instance, because many functions in the language repertoire are still taken over by Kiswahili and other African languages. The debate on developing an independent norm is not prominent, although at least English in Kenya could be classified as an outer circle variety. Theoretically, innovations, including borrowings from the national language Kiswahili, are less prominent than expansions of usages well-known from other New Englishes. Few features are really pervasive (like phoneme mergers) and accepted, so that an independent system cannot be identified easily. The socio-cognitive awareness of variation is not very pronounced, although English users are aware of national and even subnational features, especially in pronunciation, lexis, and idiomaticity. Today new internet research opportunities can complement the 20 year old data from the International Corpus of English (ICE).

Full textAbstract:
This handbook presents a broad sampling of current historical scholarship on Shakespeare’s period that it is hoped will prove useful to scholars of his poems and plays. Rather than attempting to summarize the historical ‘background’ to Shakespeare, individual chapters explore numerous topics and methodologies at the forefront of current historical research. An initial cluster shows how political history has expanded beyond a traditional focus on relations between Crown and Parliament to encompass attention to attempts by the government to manage opinion; military challenges; problems in subduing Ireland and mediating relations between the British kingdoms; and the interplay between national affairs and local factions and concerns. Additional chapters deal with relationships between intellectual culture and political imagination, with detailed attention to varieties of early modern historical thought and the emergence of a ‘public sphere’. Other contributors examine facets of religious and social history, including scriptural translation, concepts of the devil, cultural attitudes concerning honour, shame and emotion, and life in London. A final section deals with vernacular architecture, Renaissance gardens, visual culture and theatrical music.

In the years before World War I there were few people who thought that cinema was or might become an art form. From about 1910, however, signs emerged that cinema was on the road to acquiring some sort of legitimacy. These signs initially pointed in different directions, but eventually a cluster of forms developed, which were to become the cinema as we know it today. ‘Cinema as art form’ considers how cinema has developed through the evolution of editing and narrative techniques and sound synchronization, and then discusses different types of film genre, the neo-realism movement, and the diverse varieties of modern cinema.

Full textAbstract:
Varieties of social History comprised the most successful initial challenge to political History, especially from the middle of the twentieth century. From the 1980s social History was gradually supplanted in prominence by a cluster of related historiographical developments concerned with language and culture. In the last fifteen years or so newer fashions have waxed, and to those too this chapter will attend, but, in terms of justifications for History, social History and the linguistic and cultural ‘turns’ remain especially important. Social-scientific social historians were more apt to assert History’s predictive value or at least its pragmatic contemporary importance at a time of industrialization beyond the north Atlantic—this was an update of History as Practical Lesson. Other social historians were to be found revising prevailing conceptions of the past with a view to altering politics in the present—disturbing ‘whiggish’ narratives, or inserting the marginalized into the historical record to fortify their voices now. This was History as Identity fused with History as Emancipation. ‘New cultural historians’ specialized in a version of History as Travel as they invoked exotic worlds past. They, like historians under the influence of Michel Foucault, who addressed culture through the prism of power, might adapt the Travel rationale, contrasting past ways of doing things with present ways in order to unmask the conventional, made and remade, character of social relations and of human-being, and thus the possibility of changing them.

Full textAbstract:
Analyses of shapes of Bolen points from the Early Archaic period of North Central Florida were conducted, including side- and corner-notched varieties. The goal was to discern prehistoric social organization by creating more rigorous definitions of point typologies, focusing on shapes versus traditional subjective classifications. Data were collected from the bases to ensure that stable shape features were not affected by use and maintenance. Shape was recorded by using land, mark-based, geometric morphometrics (LGM). Statistically, significant geographic clusters are derived which are thought to be a function of social differences.

Full textAbstract:
Although ECT was developed as a treatment for schizophrenia, its ease of use, its safety, and the lack of effective treatments for many psychiatric conditions encouraged experimentation with this therapy to treat other disorders. These explorations define a cluster of conditions— acute and chronic psychosis, psychiatric disorders in pregnancy and the postpartum period, and intractable seizure disorders—in which ECT has a clinical role. Strongly held beliefs (delusions), abnormal sensory experiences (hallucinations, illusions) that are not based upon reality, and beliefs that others are paying special attention or plotting harm to the subject (paranoid thoughts) impair social functioning and disrupt family life. Thought disorders are the central peculiarity of schizophrenia but are also frequently found in patients with depression, mania, toxic states, and brain disorders. Regardless of the cause or the associated signs and symptoms, treatment can reduce the psychosis. This benefit is often given small notice, however, because ECT is widely regarded as an antidepressant, not an antipsychotic, treatment. The relief of psychosis afforded by ECT varies with the underlying condition. Disorders in thought in patients with depression or mania are readily relieved. Indeed, the more severe form of psychotic depression is relieved more rapidly than nonpsychotic depression. When ECT is used to treat patients with malignant catatonia and delirium, the psychosis is relieved at the same time as the toxic state. When psychosis dominates the clinical condition without other features, schizophrenia is the usual diagnosis. For acute schizophrenia dominated by the positive symptoms of paranoia, catatonia, or excitement, ECT is quite helpful. It is not helpful for the chronic varieties dominated by passivity and withdrawal, the negative signs of the illness. The clinical approach to the diagnosis of a psychotic condition is to exclude other causes for psychosis first and reserve the label “schizophrenia” for the residue of “not otherwise diagnosed” psychotic conditions. While we are able to ameliorate the psychoses in mood disorders and toxic states, palliation and symptom reduction are the best that we can offer other psychotic patients. Electroconvulsive therapy and insulin coma therapy were the main treatments for psychosis at the time when Thorazine and other new antipsychotic drugs were introduced in the 1950s.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter analyses the origins of a range of consonantal features in MUE. Starting with an overview of the consonant system and a comparison of it to the consonant systems of the input varieties and to those of Ulster Scots and Southern Irish English, the chapter specifically concentrates on a number of key phonological patterns, several of them previously ascribed to Irish influence, which reveal crucial things about the history of the dialect. Features examined include Velar Palatalisation, Pre-R Dentalisation, survival of the dental fricatives, rhoticity, realisation of /l/, epenthesis in consonant clusters, and consonant deletions. It is shown that most consonantal patterns in the dialect derive from English and, to a lesser extent, Scots, possibly with some reinforcement from Irish.

Full textAbstract:
As the description of design requirements at the earlier design stage is inaccurate and vague, it is difficult to figure out functional structure of a product and make sense product configuration. Therefore, it plays an important role to formally represent the process of design for product development in the conceptual design stage. Furthermore, port, as the location of intended interaction, is crucial to capture component concept and realize conceptual design for multi-solution generation. Agent is considered as an effective approach to collaboratively implementing design problem solving and reasoning. Combining both port and agent may be employed to generate new concepts of the product in order to customize product scheme varieties. In this paper, the product module attributes are firstly described. The objective is to implement modeling of design process for obtaining system new concepts to guide multi-solution generation. Secondly, an effective approach to decomposing design process is presented to describe the process of structure generations and product decomposition by formal representation. According to properties of modularity for product development and component connections, we can calculate the number of component connections and density of components. In addition, product module division and coupling degree analysis are conducted, and coupling degrees are calculated by considering the correspondence ratio and the cluster independence. A port-based knowledge building process is described for functional modeling. A port-agent collaborative design framework is given and describes different agent functions to help designers to obtain new design schemes. Finally, a case study is presented to describe the modeling process of conceptual design.

The identification of breeding material and certification of varieties is of great importance for the protection of the copyright of breeders. Microsatellite DNA loci are effectively used for these purposes. The aim of the research was to identify the soybean varieties of the breeding of V.S. Pustovoit All-Russian Research Institute of Oil Crops using the previously tested 12 microsatellite markers. As a result of research, we obtained the unique sets of alleles for eight varieties; two varieties had identical alleles. We divided all soybean genotypes into two large clusters. We observed the closest genetic relation between the varieties Duar and Kora (the Armavir experimental station of V.S. Pustovoit All-Russian Research Institute of Oil Crops. The resulting sets of alleles can be used to develop molecular genetic passports.
