The best matching procedure described in Chapter 4 is equivalent to the introduction of a principal fibre bundle in configuration space. Essentially one introduces a one-dimensional gauge connection on the time axis, which is a representation of the Euclidean group of rotations and translations (or, possibly, the similarity group which includes dilatations). To accommodate temporal relationalism, the variational principle needs to be invariant under reparametrizations. The simplest way to realize this in point–particle mechanics is to use Jacobi’s reformulation of Mapertuis’ principle. The chapter concludes with the relational reformulation of the Newtonian N-body problem (and its scale-invariant variant).

AbstractNon-coding rDNA spacers (IGS) can vary substantially in size due to differences in the number of repetitive elements among closely related species. Three pairs of universal primers were used in this study for the amplification of non-coding regions of ribosomal (rRNA) IGS. The amplified IGS products obtained from 19 Secale accessions, which included both cultivated and noncultivated rye and which represented three species and four subspecies of the genus Secale, showed a high level of polymorphism. The PCR results were characterized by multiple bands (1-6), different sizes (750bp-3250bp) and 100% polymorphism. Cluster analysis using the neighborjoining method based on the Dice’s coefficient of genetic similarity showed a division of the studied species into two similarity groups. All the studied Secale cereale ssp. cereale were found to belong to the same similarity group. The variation in the size of the IGS among the species which was detected in this study could be due to dissimilarity between the sequences of their respective repetitive elements or between their tandem repeat numbers. The highly interspecific polymorphisms for the rDNA IGS regions suggested that IGS might be a useful molecular marker in studies of Secale species.

The potential of repetitive-sequence-based polymerase chain reaction (rep-PCR) fingerprinting of fungal genomic DNA as a rapid and simple alternative to random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis in the study of phylogenetic relationships, and also as a diagnostic method, was investigated with species of Tilletia. DNA primers (BOX, ERIC, and REP) corresponding to conserved repetitive element motifs, originally described in prokaryotes, were used to generate genomic fingerprints of T. indica, T. walkeri, T. controversa, T. laevis, T. tritici, T. goloskokovii, T. barclayana, and members of the T. fusca complex. Computer-assisted analysis of the database of combined fingerprints clearly distinguished each taxon and indicated phylo-genetic relationships consistent with previously reported RAPD analyses. There were three main clusters with isolates showing 35 to 40% similarity. Group 1 included T. indica and T. walkeri; group 2 included members of the T. fusca complex, as well as T. controversa, T. laevis, T. tritici, and T. goloskokovii; and group 3 included only T. barclayana. If, as is likely, the conserved repetitive element motifs on which this technique is based are widespread or universal in fungal species, rep-PCR shows strong potential, not only as a simple generic taxonomic tool, but also as a diagnostic method.

Group positive affect is defined as homogeneous positive affect among group members that emerges when working together. Considering that previous research has shown a significant relationship between group positive affect and a wide variety of group outcomes (e.g., behaviors, wellbeing, and performance), it is crucial to boost our knowledge about this construct in the work context. The main purpose is to review empirical research, to synthesize the findings and to provide research agenda about group positive affect, in order to better understand this construct. Through the PsycNET and Proquest Central databases, an integrative review was conducted to identify articles about group positive affect published between January 1990 and March 2019. A total of 44 articles were included and analyzed. Finding suggests that scholars have been more interested in understanding the outcomes of group positive affect and how to improve the productivity of groups than in knowing what the antecedents are. A summary conclusion is that group positive affect is related to leadership, job demands, job resources, diversity/similarity, group processes, and contextual factors, all of which influence the development of several outcomes and different types of wellbeing at the individual and group levels. However, with specific combinations of other conditions (e.g., group trust, negative affect, and interaction), high levels of group positive affect could cause harmful results. Conclusions shed light on group positive affect research and practice and might help Human Resources professionals to initiate empirically-based strategies related to recruitment, group design and leadership training.

Genetic divergence within and among races of Colletotrichum lindemuthianum was determined using RAPD markers. In addition to the different races of the fungus three isolates of the sexual stage of Colletotrichum lindemuthianum (Glomerella cingulata f.sp. phaseoli) were included in this study. The band patterns generated using 11 primers produced 133 polymorphic bands. The polymorphic bands were used to determine genetic divergence among and within the pathogen races. The isolates analyzed were divided into six groups with 0.75 relative similarity. Group VI, formed by three isolates of the sexual phase of Colletotrichum lindemuthianum, was the most divergent. Races previously determined using differential cultivars did not correlate with the results obtained using RAPD markers.
