Phenetic data on over 60 heterotrophic, Gram-negative, yellow chromogenic bacteria from plant material were collected and analysed using numerical taxonomic methods. Marker strains representing 42 taxa were included in the analyses. At similarity levels of 80% or above, eight distinct clusters were obtained, the first four of which included yellow chromogens. Custer I contained isolates from gr...

This volume contains papers presented at a conference held at the Jackson Laboratory in 1976 under the auspices of the National Foundation. The papers deal with several extremely interesting observations and ideas that support the notion that senescence is genetically controlled. Even if the reader has not been previously acquainted with the literature on aging, this book will provide a readabl...

This paper presents an integrated framework for assessment and ranking of manufacturing systems based on management and organizational performance indicators. The integrated approach of this paper is based on principal component analysis. The validity of the model is verified and validated by numerical taxonomy and clustering analysis approach. Furthermore, the non-parametric correlation method...

s MEDNET 2000: Poster presentations 219 whereby a set of individuals or units, termed as “Operational Taxonomic Units” (OTU). Techniques of cluster analysis can be applied in different fields of medicine: the recognition of various clinical forms of a disease, separation of distinctive racial groups, treatment of quantitative biogeographical data, etc. Results: An important case for statistical...

the growth rate and uniformity of carbon nano tubes (cnts) based on chemical vapor deposition (cvd) technique is investigated by using a numerical model. in this reactor, inlet gas mixture, including xylene as carbon source and mixture of argon and hydrogen as  carrier gas enters into a horizontal cvd reactor at atmospheric pressure. based on the gas phase and surface reactions, released carbon...
