Sixty six genotypes of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp) were investigated to understand the extent of genetic diversity through twelve quantitative traits. Mahalanobis’s D analysis established the presence of wide genetic diversity among these genotypes by the formation of 23 clusters. Cluster I had the maximum number of genotypes i.e 22 and cluster 23 had only one genotype. Intra cluster d...

Despite its potential role in the evolution of complex phenotypes, the detection of negative (purifying) and positive selection on noncoding regulatory sequence has been elusive because of the inherent difficulty in predicting the functional consequences of mutations on noncoding sequence. Because the functioning of regulatory sequence depends upon both chromatin configuration and cis-regulator...

The Simple Plant Location Problem (SPLP) is a well-known NP-hard optimisation problem with applications in logistics. Although many families of facet-defining inequalities are known for the associated polyhedron, very little work has been done on separation algorithms. We present first ever polynomial-time algorithm SPLP that separates exactly over an exponentially large family inequalities. al...

After reconstruction treatment facilities have been installed at and dust removal system clinker cooler was modernized. enterprise has got a lot advantages. It next to non-freezing sea, it convenient transport infrastructure (railways roads). Cement key building material ...

Corn ethanol plants consume large amounts of corn and their location has the potential to alter local crop prices and surrounding agricultural land values. The relationship between ethanol plant location and agricultural land prices is examined using data obtained from the Agricultural Credit Survey administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. The findings indicate that the portion ...
