Genetic diversity studies for yield and physiological traits using principal component analysis in little millet by T. Venkata Ratnam1 and L. Madhavi Latha2*

“…PC 1 contributed the most towards the total variability at 27.98%, while PC 2, PC 3, PC 4, PC 5, and PC 6 contributed 12.90%, 11.19%, 8.93%, 7.08%, and 6.14% respectively. Days to 50 per cent flowering, grain yield plot-1, harvest index, leaf area index at both panicle and 15 days after panicle initiation, specific leaf weight at 15 days after panicle initiation, and main panicle weight were the foremost contributors to genetic diversity among the studied genotypes. …”

An Innovative Regulatory Approach to Stimulate Competition in Long-Distance Passenger Rail Transport by Alexander Eisenkopf, Andreas Knorr

“…Even 25 years after the fundamental 1994 ‘rail structure reform’, which eliminated the legal network monopoly of the former Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB), the combined market share of all competitors for long-distance passenger services remains stuck at “significantly below one per cent” (Bundesnetzagentur 2018, 22). This figure stands in stark contrast to the competitors’ market shares of some 26% for short-distance (regional) services — where a competition for the market regime has been established — and around 50% of the rail cargo segment — which is governed by an open access regime. …”
