Die Zeit, die der Prozess der Gewöhnung an das Bewegen auf einem Laufband benötigt, um stabile kinematische und temporale Parameter zu erhalten, ist von großer Wichtigkeit. Die nicht Berücksichtigung einer Gewöhnungsphase kann zu verfälschten Ergebnissen führen (Matsas et al., 2000). Nach unserem besten Wissen ist uns keine Studie bekannt, die sich mit der Gewöhnung an das Rückwärtsgehen auf einem Laufband beschäftigt. Daher hat sich diese Studie das Ziel gesetzt der Frage nachzugehen, wie lang dieser Gewöhnungsprozess dauert, um stabile kinematische und temporale Parameter beim Rückwärtsgehen auf einem Laufband zu erhalten. Die untersuchten Parameter waren Hüft-, Knie- und Sprunggelenkswinkel und Analyse des Gangzyklusses. Diese Parameter wurden zu diskreten Zeitpunkten des Gangzyklusses gemessen, wie zum Beispiel bei initialem Bodenkontakt, Schwungphasenvorbereitung und wenn Maxima und Minima der Winkel auftreten. Um die gesamte Bewegung der Hüft-, Knie- und Sprunggelenkswinkel während der Standbeinphase zu analysieren, wurde die Procrustes Analyse verwendet. Studienteilnehmer mussten 12 Minuten lang mit zwei unterschiedlichen Gehgeschwindigkeiten auf dem Laufband rückwärtsgehen, da die Gehgeschwindigkeit einen Einfluss auf kinematische Messungen hat. (Stoquart et al., 2008). Eine Gehgeschwindigkeit (2.5km/h) wurde von den Autoren dieser Studie im Vorhinein bestimmt und festgelegt. Die zweite wurde von den Teilnehmern bestimmt und ist die individuelle angenehme Gehgeschwindigkeit (2.69±0.37km/h). 25 gesunde Personen nahmen an der Studie teil, wovon 20 Datensätze für die weitere Analyse verwendet wurden. Von diesen 20 Teilnehmern waren 12 männlich und 8 weiblich (Alter 24.9±3.5 Jahre, Größe 1.76±0.07cm, Masse 69.6±10.6kg). Um kinematische und temporale Daten zu ermitteln, wurde das Vicon Nexus V.2.8 Oxford Metrics System bestehend aus 12 Vicon Vantage Kameras, die mit einer Frequenz von 120Hz aufzeichnen, verwendet. Zusätzlich wurden pedar®-x Sohlen verwendet, um die verschiedenen Phasen des Gangzyklusses zu ermitteln. 98 der 102 untersuchten kinematischen und temporalen Parameter zeigten keine Form der Gewöhnung. Nur bei den Kontaktzeiten der weiblichen Population bei 2.5km/h, den Procrustes Distanzen des Hüftwinkels bei 2.5km/h, dem Kniewinkel der männlichen Population bei initialem Bodenkontakt bei selbstgewählter angenehmer Gehgeschwindigkeit und den Procrustes Distanzen des Kniewinkels, ebenfalls bei selbstgewählter angenehmer Gehgeschwindigkeit, konnten Anpassungsprozesse über die 12 Minuten festgestellt werden. Aus den Ergebnissen geht hervor, dass für 98 der 102 untersuchten Parameter eine Gewöhnungsphase von 5 Minuten auf dem Laufband ausreicht, um stabile spatio-temporale Parameter messen zu können. Für die zuvor genannten 4 Parameter sind zumindest 10 Minuten Gewöhnungszeit auf dem Laufband notwendig.

The familiarisation time while moving on treadmills to gain stable kinematic and temporal data is of great importance. Not considering the habituation process may lead to problematic results…

▼ ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This research aims at developing exploratory techniques that are specifically suitable for missing data applications. Categorical data analysis, missing data analysis and biplot visualisation are the three core methodologies that are combined to develop novel techniques. Variants of multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) biplots are used for all visualisations. The first study objective addresses exploratory analysis after multiple imputation (MI). Multiple plausible values are imputed for each missing observation to construct multiple completed data sets for standard analyses. Biplot visualisations are constructed for each completed data set after MI which require individual exploration to obtain final inference. The number of MIs will greatly affect the accuracy and consistency of the interpretations obtained from several plots. This predicament led to the development of GPAbin, to optimally combine configurations from MIs to obtain a single configuration for final inference. The GPAbin approach advances from two statistical techniques: generalised orthogonal Procrustes analysis (GPA) and the combining rules used to combine estimates obtained from MIs, Rubin’s rules. Albeit a superior missing data handling approach, MI could be daunting for the non‐technical practitioner. Therefore, an adequate alternative approach could be appealing and contribute to the variety of available methods for the handling of incomplete multivariate categorical data. The second objective aims at confirming whether visualisations obtained from nonimputed data sets are a suitable alternative to visualisations obtained from MIs. Subset MCA (sMCA) distinguishes between observed and missing subsets of a multivariate categorical data set by creating an additional response category level (CL) for missing responses in the indicator matrix. Missing and observed responses can be visualised separately by only considering the subset of interest in the recoded indicator matrix. The visualisation of the observed responses utilises all available information which would have been forfeited by deletion methods. The third study objective explores the possibility of predicting a complete multivariate categorical data set from MI visualisations obtained from the first study objective. The distances between the coordinates of a biplot in the full space are used to predict plausible responses. Since the aim of this research is to advance missing data visualisations, the visualisations obtained from predicted completed data sets are compared to visualisations of simulated complete data sets. The emphasis is on preserving inference and not recreating the original data. Missing data techniques are typically developed to address a specific missing data problem. It is therefore crucial to understand the cause of missingness in order to apply suitable missing data techniques. The fourth study objective investigates the sMCA biplot of the missing subset of the recoded indicator matrix. Configurations of the… Advisors/Committee Members: Le Roux, N.

▼ La morphologie des os humains varie en fonction du sexe, de l'âge et de l'ethnie. Cette variabilité de l'anatomie humaine peut aider à déterminer le sexe, l'âge et l'ethnie. Les outils utilisés pour de telles analyses sont classiquement des méthodes ostéométriques (longueur, angle, rapport de longueur) qui peuvent être sujettes à des biais d'analyse ou d'interprétation. L'analyse morphométrique géométrique 3D (MG) permet de limiter ces biais. Elle étudie et compare la forme d'un ou plusieurs objets en éliminant les effets liés à la taille de celui-ci. Nous n'avons pas retrouvé d'analyse du dimorphisme sexuel, ethnique et lié à l'âge de l'extrémité distale du fémur à l'aide de cette méthode. Le fémur est pourtant un des plus gros os du corps et il est souvent bien conservé dans les restes humains. L'objectif de ce travail était de montrer qu'il existe une différence de forme du fémur distal en fonction de l'âge, du sexe et de l'ethnie visualisable grâce à MG. Nous avons réalisé une MG de 482 scanners d'extrémité distale de fémur de sujets vivant dans le sud de la France et dans la région de Chongqing (chine). Les sujets présentant une pathologie osseuse ou articulaires ont été exclus. Dix landmarks ont été positionnés sur des reconstructions tridimentionelles. Nous avons également réalisé une analyse ostéométrique " classique " en plus de MG afin d'évaluer la vraisemblance de nos résultats. Les données ont été analysées par deux observateurs à deux temps différents. Nous avons calculé pour chaque landmark la variabilité inter et intraobservateur. Les landmarks choisis permettaient de caractériser la forme de l'extrémité distale du fémur. La première étape a consisté en la réalisation d'une analyse généralisée procrustre (GPA). Les coordonnées dans l'espace des landmarks ont été analysées en utilisant une analyse en composant principal (PCA). Une analyse discriminante a permis de vérifier le pourcentage de cas dans lequel le sexe, l'âge ou l'ethnie estimés étaient les bons. GPA retrouve une différence de forme statistiquement significative entre les sexes, en fonction de l'âge et entre les ethnies. PCA retrouve une différence de forme en fonction de l'âge, du sexe ou de l'ethnie qui représente respectivement 54,4 ;58,6 et 61,9% de la variabilité observée. Les taux d'assignement correct avec cette méthode étaient de 80% (âge) ; 77,3% (sexe) et 82 % (l'ethnie). L'analyse ostéométrique " classique " retrouvait des valeurs comparables à celles retrouvées dans la littérature. Le pourcentage d'erreur intra et inter observateur pour l'ensemble des landmarks n'excédait jamais 2%. Nous avons démontré que l'analyse MG du fémur distal permettait de mettre en évidence une variabilité en fonction du sexe, de l'âge et de l'ethnie de ce segment osseux. La reproductibilité élevée et la vraisemblance des résultats valident notre méthodologie. Cette différence de forme a des retombées directes en anthropobiologie mais aussi en orthopédie. Cette méthode d'assignation ne donne pas de résultats suffisamment précis pour être utilisée seule.… Advisors/Committee Members: Telmon, Norbert (thesis director).

▼ The morphologic variability of a fossil assemblage is of interest in many paleontological studies. However, many fossil assemblages are time-averaged; that is, many generations of non-contemporaneous organisms are mixed into the same fossil bed. Assemblages of robust mollusk shells deposited in nearshore marine environments are often time-averaged over 100's to 1000's of years. Mixing many generations of a taxon can increase measured morphologic variability over that of a single generation if morphology is changing during the interval of time-averaging. If morphology is changing, time-averaging can also alter observed correlations between morphologic variables, as well as allometric growth patterns. If morphology is static, then time-averaging will not increase variability or otherwise obscure patterns of morphologic variability. Testing the effects of time-averaging on morphology will help determine the reliability of information derived from the fossil record. In this study, morphologic variability was compared between 6 standing crop, living populations of Mercenaria campechiensis (Bivalvia) and two fossil assemblages of M. campechiensis and M. permagna. One fossil sample was collected as a series of superposed units that could be analyzed individually or in aggregate. The x,y coordinates of 13 landmarks and pseudolandmarks were recorded on over 600 valves, and variability was calculated using Least Squares Procrustes Analysis. Once corrections were made for allometry, the variabilities of the samples drawn from single time-averaged fossil beds were indistinguishable from the variabilities of the recent samples. For this data set, the variabilities of the fossil samples could be used without reservation to estimate the variability of the standing crop populations from which they formed. Morphology was quite stable over the 100's to 1000's of years that likely passed as the assemblages accumulated. A small amount of analytical time-averaging of the samples increases variability slightly, but additional analytical time-averaging causes no further increase. Very slight morphologic fluctuations are evident at time spans exceeding 100's to 1000's of years. Lumping geographically separated samples and samples of different species also increases variability. Morphologic stasis is evident in Mercenaria over 100's to 1000's of years, but previous studies have indicated that evolutionary rates over this time frame are typically high. These studies are based on colonization events, however, and are biased towards high rates. Data gathered here and in previous studies suggest that local populations may evolve rapidly at their founding, but that stasis follows this initial burst of change. This model describes a pattern similar to Punctuated Equilibrium at a lower level of the genealogical hierarchy, and is here termed "Punctuated Equilibrium, Jr." This model can be further tested in empirical studies and should aid in determining the causes of species-level evolutionary patterns.

▼ Canonical variate analysis (CVA) is a widely used method for analyzing group structure in multivariate data. It is mathematically equivalent to a one-way multivariate analysis of variance and often goes by the name of canonical discriminant analysis. Change over time is a central feature of many phenomena of interest to researchers. This dissertation extends CVA to longitudinal data. It develops models whose purpose is to determine what is changing and what is not changing in the group structure. Three approaches are taken: a maximum likelihood approach, a least squares approach, and a covariance structure analysis approach. All methods have in common that they hypothesize canonical variates which are stable over time. The maximum likelihood approach models the positions of the group means in the subspace of the canonical variates. It also requires modeling the structure of the within-groups covariance matrix, which is assumed to be constant or proportional over time. In addition to hypothesizing stable variates over time, one can also hypothesize canonical variates that change over time. Hypothesis tests and confidence intervals are developed. The least squares methods are exploratory. They are based on three-mode PCA methods such as the Tucker2 and parallel factor analysis. Graphical methods are developed to display the relationships between the variables over time. Stable variates over time imply a particular structure for the between-groups covariance matrix. This structure is modeled using covariance structure analysis, which is available in the SAS package Proc Calis. Methods related to CVA are also discussed. First, the least squares methods are extended to canonical correlation analysis, redundancy analysis, Procrustes rotation and correspondence analysis with longitudinal data. These least squares methods lend themselves equally well to data from multiple datasets. Lastly, a least squares method for the common principal components model is developed.

▼ With both a heterogeneous population and a large number of unidentified persons in South Africa, an accurate method to estimate ancestry is needed. The purpose of this study was to evaluate variation in nasal aperture shape in black, white and coloured South Africans, using linear measures and geometric morphometrics (GM), the latter which includes both procrustes analysis (GPA) and elliptical fourier analysis (EFA). To test statistical significance among groups, discriminant function analysis (DFA) and principal component analysis (PCA) was used. A total of 310 (164 male, 145 female) crania of black, white and coloured South Africans were used. Thirteen standard landmarks, namely, glabella, nasion, nasale superior, dacryon, nasale inferius, alare, most inferior nasal border and subspinale, were digitised with a MicroScribe G2™ (Immersion: San Jose, CA). Five linear measures, nasion-dacryon angle (NDA), nasal breadth (NLB), nasal height (NLH), inter-orbital breadth (DKB) and nasion-dacryon subtense (NDS), were calculated. For EFA, photographs were taken in a frontal plane of skulls that had been positioned in the Frankfort horizontal plane on a craniophore. All classification accuracies for all groups were better than chance. Using linear measures and GPA, black South Africans classified 55-71% correctly, coloured classified 53-61% correctly and whites classified 85-95% correctly. Black and coloured South Africans demonstrated bell-shaped nasal apertures with nasal spines superior to the inferior nasal border. White South Africans had pear-shaped nasal apertures with a nasal spine inferior of the inferior nasal border. Using EFA black South Africans classified 62% correctly. While coloured South Africans only classified 39% correctly, which demonstrates high within group variability. Due to their unique historical development, large variation (heterogeneity) within the coloured group was expected. White South Africans had the highest correct classification accuracy of 85%. For all methods, misclassification rarely occurred between white and non-white (black and coloured) groups and most difficulties arose in distinguishing non-white groups from each other. High rates of misclassification was also noted between sex designations within a group, which suggests less or an absence of sexual dimorphism for these variables The distinct separation of white South Africans may reflect the mid-to late 20th century political and social separation of white and non-white groups in South Africa. Nasal aperture shape, alone, is less useful for separating groups such that all groups have relatively intermediate nasal aperture shapes; however the pinched nasal bone structure of white South Africans clearly separates them from the other groups. When using nasal bone and aperture landmarks, linear measures are as accurate as the modern geometric techniques in distinguishing groups. All methods are feasible to use in the estimation of ancestry on modern South Africans, with craniometry a sensible solution as the data can be rapidly… Advisors/Committee Members: L'Abbe, Ericka Noelle (advisor).

▼ In this research, Procrustes and Euclidean distance matrix analysis (EDMA) have been investigated for analysing the three-dimensional shape and form of the human back. Procrustes analysis is used to distinguish deformed backs from normal backs. EDMA is used to locate the changes occurring on the back surface due to spinal deformity (scoliosis, kyphosis and lordosis) for back deformity patients. A surface topography system, ISIS2 (Integrated Shape Imaging System 2), is available to measure the three-dimensional back surface. The system presents clinical parameters, which are based on distances and angles relative to certain anatomical landmarks on the back surface. Location, rotation and scale definitely influence these parameters. Although the anatomical landmarks are used in the present system to take some account of patient stance, it is still felt that variability in the clinical parameters is increased by the use of length and angle data. Patients also grow and so their back size, shape and form change between appointments with the doctor. Instead of distances and angles, geometric shape that is independent of location, rotation and scale effects could be measured. This research is mainly focusing on the geometric shape and form change in the back surface, thus removing the unwanted effects. Landmarks are used for describing back information and an analysis of the variability in positioning the landmarks has been carried out for repeated measurements. Generalized Procrustes analysis has been applied to all normal backs to calculate a mean Procrustes shape, which is named the standard normal shape (SNS). Each back (normal and deformed) is then translated, rotated and scaled to give a best fit with the SNS using ordinary Procrustes analysis. Riemannian distances are then estimated between the SNS and all individual backs. The highest Riemannian distance value between the normal backs and the SNS is lower than the lowest Riemannian distance value between the deformed backs and the SNS. The results shows that deformed backs can be differentiated from normal backs. EDMA has been used to estimate a mean form, variance-covariance matrix and mean form difference from all the normal backs. This mean form is named the standard normal form (SNF). The influence of individual landmarks for form difference between each deformed back and the SNF is estimated. A high value indicates high deformity on the location of that landmark and a low value close to 1 indicates less deformity. The result is displayed in a graph that provides information regarding the degree and location of the deformity. The novel aspects of this research lie in the development of an effective method for assessing the three-dimensional back shape; extracting automatic landmarks; visualizing back shape and back form differences.

▼ Boar taint is a sensory defect mainly detected in boar meat, mainly due to two substances, androstenone and skatole. The main objectives of this study are to ascertain the androstenone and skatole distribution in the pig population of our country with respect to the group of the other European countries; to obtain the sensory characterisation of both compounds by means of a trained panel; to study the acceptability of the boar meat by the European consumers depending on the levels of androstenone and skatole; and to ascertain the sensitivity to androstenone as an influence on the acceptability of boar to Spanish consumers. The levels of androstenone and skatole in subcutaneous fat were measured in 4313 boars and 223 gilts, produced in 6 European countries during two seasons (replicates). In the sensory studies, 42 loins from gilts and 378 loins from boars were selected and the boars were classified in 9 groups depending on the levels of androstenone and skatole (high:>1.0 and >0.21 µg/g respectively, medium and low: <0.5 µg/g and <0.10 µg/g). Panellists previously selected and trained obtained the profile by the checklist method. 'Androstenone', 'skatole', 'pig', 'urine', 'sweat', 'manure', 'sweet', 'rancid' and 'abnormal' were found as odour attributes. The flavour attributes were the same except for 'manure'. Panellists evaluated in a monadic way 10 loins, cooked at 175ºC in the oven for 10 minutes, in each of the 6 sessions of odour and flavour assessment. Consumers (approximately 240 per country and replicate) evaluated 5 samples in a 7 level hedonic scale. The acceptability of the meat flavour was evaluated in loins cooked at 180ºC and re-cooked at 250ºC and the acceptability of the meat odour was evaluated in loins cooked in the same way and kept for 1 minute on a hot plate at 250ºC just before serving. In our country, consumers' sensibility to androstenone was tested. Mean levels of androstenone and skatole in our country (1.20 µg/g and 0.19 µg/g respectively) were above the European mean. The percentage of carcasses with androstenone and skatole levels higher than 1.0 µg/g and 0.21 µg/g was 17% in our country and 7% in all the European countries studied. In the sensory characterisation of the androstenona and the skatole there was a lot of confusion among attributes.. Boar loins with low and medium levels of androstenone and skatole and gilt loins were sensory characterised by the same attribute 'sweet'. Consumers mainly refused the odour of the loins with high levels of skatole, regardless of the androstenone content. The anosmics or less sensitive to androstenone Spanish consumers gave the worst note of acceptability to the loins with high skatole level, independently of the androstenone level. The androstenone level influence in the notes of acceptability given by the highly sensitive consumers to androstenone (24% men, 37% women), are worse when the level of this substance is high or medium. It can be concluded that the androstenone and skatole levels should be controlled, especially in the countries like… Advisors/Committee Members: [email protected] (authoremail), false (authoremailshow), Aluja Banet, Tomàs (director), Oliver Pratsevall, Mª Àngels (director).

▼ The recent expansion of genetic datasets in diverse populations has allowed researchers to investigate human genetic structure and evolutionary history with unprecedented resolution. The huge amount of data also poses new statistical challenges, in both quality control and data analysis. In this dissertation, I develop statistical methods to address some challenges arising from recent population-genetic studies, and apply the methods to study the geographic structure of human genetic variation. First, I develop a method to correct for allelic dropout, a common source of genotyping error in microsatellite data. Traditional solutions for allelic dropout often require replicate genotyping, which is costly and often impossible in population-genetic studies. To address this problem, I propose a maximum likelihood approach to estimate dropout rates from nonreplicated microsatellite genotypes. Based on simulations and empirical data, I show that this method is both accurate and fairly robust to some violations of model assumptions. Next, I introduce a Procrustes analysis approach to compare spatial maps of genetic variation. Multivariate techniques, such as principal components analysis (PCA), have been widely used to summarize population structure, typically in two-dimensional maps, which often resemble the geographic maps of sampling locations. Using the Procrustes approach, I quantitatively demonstrate that genetic coordinates based on SNPs and CNVs are similar to each other, and are highly concordant with the geographic coordinates. Finally, applying PCA and Procrustes analysis on SNP data from worldwide populations, I perform a systematic study to compare genes and geography across the globe. By considering examples in different regions, I find that significant similarity between genes and geography exists in general. Further, the similarity is highest in Asia and once isolated populations have been removed, Sub-Saharan Africa. The results provide a quantitative assessment of the geographic structure of human genetic variation worldwide. In summary, this dissertation contributes both statistical tools for analyzing large-scale genetic data and biological insights on the spatial patterns of human genetic variation. Results from this dissertation provide a basis for evaluating the role of geography in giving rise to human population structure, and can facilitate statistical methods for inferring individual geographic origin from genetic variation.

▼ Objective The goal of this project was to define and measure human volumetric airway dimensions with radiographic volumetric three-dimensional imaging and digital reconstruction of the pharynx using cone beam computed tomography to directly correlate these measurements with both normal and developmentally deficient jaw joints and their positions. The volume of the oropharynx was measured by creating a superior border connecting the 3-D midpoint of sella turcica and the posterior nasal spine and extending inferiorly to the level connecting the most infero-anterior point of C3 and the anterior hyoid bone as seen in the multi-planar views of the cone beam computed tomography image. The calculations were accomplished by using 3dMD software. Further extrapolation of this study'a data may be useful to establish the direct association of obstructive sleep apnea and deficiencies of jaw growth and airway development. Design In this retrospective study, 250 subjects were randomly selected from a pool of 800 referred for dental imaging at ddi Imaging Center in Sacramento, California. Digital images were captured using a low-radiation, rapid scanning cone beam computed tomography system (iCAT). Results A total of 250 subjects, 163 females and 87 males, were included in this study. Descriptive statistics were applied to the following variables: 1. Assessment of the relationship between total airway volume and several categorically independent variables: * For total airway volume, no significant difference was found between males and females; between the right temporomandibular positions; between right temporomandibular integrity; or between the left temporomandibular integrity. * There was a significant difference found between the left temporomandibular positions for total airway volume. 2. Assessment of the relationship between total airway volume and each cephalometric measurement: * Based on the Spearman correlation test, there were significant increasing relationships between total airway volume and several of the cephalometric measurements (p<0.05). * Correlation coefficients ranged from 0.13 to 0.22 indicating there were weak correlations between the two variables. 3. Assessment of the relationship between total airway volume and age: * Based on the Spearman correlation test, there was no significant relationship between total airway volume and age (p=0.8304). In addition, Spearman correlation showed no correlation between total airway volume and sex and skeletal growth pattern tendencies. Conclusions Three dimensional images of the airway offer the opportunity to serially examine individuals, acquire airway patency information, and improve the evaluation of sites of airway obstruction. Further studies to determine the effects of pharyngeal stenosis and other regional changes to the oropharynx upon physiologic response may be key to understanding the effects of biomechanical influences upon… Advisors/Committee Members: Ruprecht, Axel (supervisor).

The aim of this study was to evaluate shape covariation of craniofacial complex (CFC) and first molars (M1, M1) and to identify how the factor of age is affecting this relationship. In addition, the shape variability, allometry and sexual dimorphism of CFC and first molars were assessed.Our sample consisted of dental casts and corresponding lateral cephalometric radiographs of 220 human subjects. The sample was subdivided by age into two groups of 110 subjects each, the adult group (above 18 years) and the pre-pubertal group (below 12 years). Gender was equally distributed in both groups. Inclusion criteria were free medical history, absence of dental restorations, tooth attrition and decay. No attempt was made to select subjects based on their skeletal pattern. Casts and lateral cephalometric radiographs with poor quality and artifacts were not included.Dental casts and lateral cephalometric radiographs were scanned with a structured light 3D scanner and a optical scanner, respectively. A number of 265, 274 and 71 surface and curve semilandmarks were placed on first molar (upper and lower) and craniofacial complex configurations produced. Craniofacial complex and first molar shape variability was assessed by performing multivariate morphometric statistical methods such as principal component analysis (PCA), partial least squares (2B-PLS) and multiple regression. Average error was calculated at 3.1% (range: 0.8% to 4.9%), 3.3% (range: 1.9% to 4.7%) and 1.95% (range: 0.41% to 3.96%) of the extents of the shape space, for M1, M1 and CFC analysis respectively.Molar shape variation was related to mesiodistal-buccolingual ratio changes and relative cusp position. Distal cusps displayed the greatest shape variability. Molars of males were larger than those of females (2.8% and 3.2% for M1, M1), but no shape dimorphism was observed. Larger M1 was associated with shorter cusps, expansion of the distal cusp and constriction of the mesial cusps (predicted variance 3.25%). M1 displayed weaker allometry (predicted variance 1.59%). M1, M1 shape covariation proved significant (RV=17.26%, p<0.0001). The main parameter of molar covariation was cusp height. CFC vertical dimension was the main parameter of shape variation followed by anteroposterior axis deviations. Male CFC was larger (4%-5.7%) to female and was characterized by a prominent chin and a clockwise rotation of cranial base only for the adult group. Allometry, although statistically significant (p=0.0002) it was rather weak (PV=2.1%). Mandibular prognathism was associated with increased centroid size. Covariation proved to be statistically important only for the M1 and CFC (RV=14%, RV=12% and p=0.0099, p=0.0162, respectively). A class III tendency with high angle mandible was correlated with a tooth elongation and a decrease of distolingual, mesiobucal and distal cusp heights for both age groups. The identified differences between age groups as time progresses indicate the important role of the environment to this relationship.

▼ The Whorfian linguistic relativity hypothesis is a highly contested model linking cognition and perception, in which substantial cultural-linguistic differences between languages are proposed, which significantly constrain in individual’s perception and world view. Due to the wide variation in color naming in cultures around the world, the constraints on naming imposed by color physics and the physiology of the visual system, and the near-ubiquitous nature of color communication, color naming has often been used as a model for testing linguistic relativity effects. However, by themselves, variations in color naming cannot give any useful information about whether color perception is affected by linguistic relativity. For this reason, we used color naming in conjunction with unique hue selection and multidimensional scaling (MDS) to test for the presence of Whorfian effects related to color naming for speakers of English and Somali, a language previously shown by our lab to show great inter-individual variation in both color naming and non-lexical measures of color perception.In Experiment I we tested English subjects using a non-metric MDS paradigm with heteroluminant stimuli and found it to generally replicate fiducial orderings of stimuli in CIE UV space. Experiment II added a unique hue selection task, and English speakers’ unique hue selections in this task were concordant with those obtained from previous studies. We introduced a new method of MDS data collection, the binary sort protocol, in Experiment III, which allowed us to quickly gather MDS data from English and Somali-speaking subjects. Somali color naming showed similar patterns to previous experiments by our lab, but we were unable to gather data from a sufficient variety of Somali informants to robustly test for Whorfian effects. Somali speakers’ MDS maps conformed more poorly to CIE UV space than English speakers’ maps, though analysis of stress indicated that Somali subjects may use two dimensions of unknown character in their judgments of color difference; additionally, numerous Somali speakers’ MDS maps and/or color naming showed evidence of purple-yellow affiliation, which is contrary to all previous color categorization and perception experiments. Experiment IV focused on English color naming, utilizing the gap statistic and the novel cluster stability analysis to find 15 shared chromatic categories of varying consensus and 4 distinct color-naming motifs among English informants, congruent with previous results from our lab. As in Experiment II and Experiment III, no evidence of linguistic relativity effects was found in our results, though we suggest that our color naming, unique hue, and MDS methodologies may have been insufficiently sensitive to detect these effects if present. We conclude that no definite linguistic relativity effects exist between English and Somali color naming, color difference perception, and unique hue selection, at least as measured by our paradigms.

▼ ABSTRACT NELSON, PAUL THOMAS. Genetic and Phenotypic Characterization of Maize Germplasm Resources: Ex-PVPA Inbreds, NCSU Inbreds, and Elite Exotic Inbreds. (Under the direction of Major M. Goodman.) Maize (Zea maize L.) germplasm resources are characterized to illuminate their usefulness and proper placement for temperate maize breeding. Three germplasm pools are examined: 1) maize inbreds that have expired U.S. plant variety protection certificates (Ex-PVPA), 2) the North Carolina State University maize inbred line releases, and 3) elite unadapted tropical maize inbreds. We have used single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers to evaluate the relationships and population structure among 92 ex-PVPA inbred lines in relation to 17 well-known public inbreds. Based on UPGMA clustering, principal component analysis, and model-based clustering, we identified six primary genetic clusters represented by the prominent inbred lines B73, Mo17, PH207, A632, Oh43, and B37. We also determined the genetic background of ex-PVPA inbreds with conflicting, ambiguous, or undisclosed pedigrees. We assessed genetic diversity across subsets of ex-PVPA lines and concluded that the ex-PVPA lines are no more diverse than the public set evaluated here. The NCSU maize breeding germplasm represents a potentially useful resource for maize improvement and diversity in the U.S. While the NC maize inbreds can generally be classified into five germplasm pools, Lancaster, temperate-adapted all-tropical (TAAT), Lancaster Ã— Tropical, Stiff Stalk, and Southern non-Stiff Stalk, analysis of detailed pedigree records and with molecular markers reveals additional substructure within each of these pools. There is general agreement among the four cluster analyses performed, three on SNP data and one on pedigree-derived coefficients of coancestry, as to the organization of this substructure. We performed topcross yield trial evaluation for 128 elite tropical maize inbreds from these institutions and 15 temperate-adapted all-tropical NC maize inbreds. We report, not only performance for yield and other traits of agronomic importance, but also heterotic patterns among many of these lines. We maintain, as reported in previous studies conducted at NCSU, that tropical germplasm, either adapted or unadapted, generally combines equally well with either Stiff Stalk or non-Stiff Stalk U.S. maize germplasm.
