A polymorphic analysis is an analysis whose input and output contain parameters which serve as placeholders for information that is unknown before analysis but provided after analysis. In this paper, we present a polymorphic groundness analysis that infers parameterised groundness descriptions of the variables of interest at a program point. The polymorphic groundness analysis is designed by re...

The genus Acanthamoeba comprises free-living amebae identified as opportunistic pathogens of humans and other animal species. Morphological, biochemical and molecular approaches have shown wide genetic diversity within the genus. In an attempt to determine the genetic relatedness among isolates of Acanthamoeba we analyzed randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) profiles of 11 Brazilian isolat...

A major conundrum in evolution is that, despite natural selection, polymorphism is still omnipresent in nature: Numerous species exhibit multiple morphs, namely several abundant values of an important trait. Polymorphism is particularly prevalent in asymmetric traits, which are beneficial to their carrier in disruptive competitive interference but at the same time bear disadvantages in other as...

The last few years have seen a significant increase in the number of large-scale sequencing projects generating whole genome databases. These sequence databases can be surveyed (genome sequence survey) for tandem repeats as an alternative means to develop microsatellites for monitoring and selecting natural populations and cultivars of Jatropha curcas. A total of 100 tandem repeats were reveale...

There has been signiicant interest in the periodic behavior, generally referred to as repeatability, exhibited by a kinematically redundant manipulator while performing a cyclic end eeector motion. Much of the early work in this area has been restricted to planar manipulators whose connguration is described in terms of absolute joint angles in order to simplify the problem. Unfortunately, this ...

Molecular markers are used in plant science a variety of ways. The method molecular genome marking based on RAPD-PCR makes it possible to determine the genetic status populations and establish intrapopulation relationships. In this work, we studied polymorphism dandelion Taraxacum officionale using RAPD markers. Five random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) were diversity relationship between tw...

Spine gourd (Momordica dioica Roxb.) is a highly nutritious vegetable crop with dioecious reproductive nature. Forty-eight spine genotypes including 32 female and 16 male were assessed for molecular divergence to establish phenotypic relationships using ISSR markers. Twenty-two out of total 25 primers studied yielded 88 bands which 80 polymorphic, three them being unique in their profile. Each ...
