This study examines how the United States affiliates with multipartite international organizations, not only by treaty, but also executive agreement process. It these processes as a legal/political feature of executive-legislative relations, involving nearly 150 organizations which has been affiliated since 1945. With few exceptions, Congress cooperated President in developing variety technique...

Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) datasets have been used to construct neighbor-joining trees from which monophyletic origins for crops such as einkorn wheat, barley, and emmer wheat have been inferred. We simulated several different multiple domestication scenarios for an imaginary cereal crop and examined the resulting domesticated populations. The simulations showed that the popu...

The quinone profiles of microbial biomass samples from wastewater and natural aquatic environments were studied. A soil sample was alse analyzed for comparison. Attempts were made to perform numerical analyses on these profiles by using three pararneters, the microbial divergence index (MD,), the bioenergetic divergence index (BD,), and the dissimilarity ndex (D), and the algorithm of the neigh...

The neighbour-joining method reconstructs phylogenies by iteratively joining pairs of nodes until a single node remains. The criterion for which pair of nodes to merge is based on both the distance between the pair and the average distance to the rest of the nodes. In this paper, we present a new search strategy for the optimisation criteria used for selecting the next pair to merge and we show...
