peer agreement (net): +1converged Explanation: 収束 has many meanings - gather and bundle, put a conclusion to (as in a struggle), converge (in a mathematical sense) Although microbiology is not my field, based on reading your sample sentence, I feel that the definition of "converge" fits better than 収束's other definitions. http://kotobank.jp/word/収束 しゅう‐そく〔シウ‐〕【収束】 ［名］(スル) １ 分裂・混乱していたものが、まとまって収まりがつくこと。また、収まりをつけること。「事態の―を図る」「争議が―する」 ２ 数学で、ある値に限りなく近づくこと。収斂(しゅうれん)。⇔発散。 ①ある無限数列が、ある値にいくらでも近づくこと。 ②数列の項が、ある値に限りなく近づくこと。 ③級数の途中までの和が、ある値にいくらでも近い値をとること。 ３ 多くの光線が一点に集まること。収斂。集束。 ４ 海洋学で、流線が周囲から一点に向かって集まること。収斂。 [類語]落（ち）着く In talking about experiments, there are numerous examples of coefficients converging. Here is one example: http://peds.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/full/20/9/417 The coefficients converged through such an iterative process are further used to predict the bioactivities of query peptides. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2010-05-05 04:50:55 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Excuse me, let me correct my above sentence: In talking about experiments, there are numerous examples online of the usage of the words "coeficients converging." |

clustered Explanation: The similarity coefficients were used as input data for cluster analysis performed by the NTSYSpc program. The resulting dendrogram is shown in Figure 2. The accessions clustered into two major groups, corresponding largely to African and Indian types at a similarity index corresponding to 0.55, with a intermix of a few accessions.... www2.bioversityinternational.org/.../article.asp?id_article... |
