The topic of this paper is the variability of pitch realisation of phrase-initial accent I. In our study we have observed a difference in variability for the varieties investigated. Central Swedish pitch patterns for phrase-initial accent I both to the East (Stockholm) and to the West (Gothenburg) display an apparent constancy, albeit with distinct patterns: East Central Swedish rising and West...

Buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) is a pseudocereal grown on limited extensions in Italy and Western Europe in general, but is currently the subject of considerable interest from the scientific community and consumers for its unique nutritional properties: it is rich in vitamins and mineral salts, dietary fiber and antioxidant substances, and it is free of gluten. This species also has ag...

Let k be a totally real field, and let A/k be an absolutely irreducible, polarized Abelian variety of odd, prime dimension whose endomorphism rings is non-trivial and is defined over k. Then the only strictly compatible families of abstract, absolutely irreducible representations of Gal(k/k) coming from A are tensor products of Tate twists of symmetric powers of two-dimensional λ-adic represent...

Let V be a p-adic representation of the absolute Galois group G of Qp that becomes crystalline over a finite tame extension, and assume p 6= 2. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for V to be isomorphic to the p-adic Tate module Vp(A) of an abelian variety A defined over Qp. These conditions are stated on the filtered (φ,G)module attached to V . 2000 Mathematics Subject Classificatio...

Cultural Effects on Sorghum Varieties Grown, Traits Preferred, and Seed Management Practices in Northern Ethiopia. Agrobiodiversity is fundamentally shaped by farmers’ preferences management practices, these are again the social cultural background. This study investigates variety seed practices crop sorghum ( bicolor ) among Kunama Tigrayan ethnolinguistic groups living side Surveys were condu...

We assessed the interplay of artificial and natural selection in rice adaptation in low-input farming systems in West Africa. Using 20 morphological traits and 176 molecular markers, 182 farmer varieties of rice (Oryza spp.) from 6 West African countries were characterized. Principal component analysis showed that the four botanical groups (Oryza sativa ssp. indica, O. sativa ssp. japonica, O. ...
