One of the designs of cellular manufacturing systems (CMS) requires that a machine population be partitioned into machine cells. Numerous methods are available for clustering machines into machine cells. One method involves using a similarity coefficient. Similarity coefficients between machines are not absolute, and they still need more attention from researchers. Although there are a number o...

The binary feature vector is one of the most common representations of patterns and measuring similarity and distance measures play a critical role in many problems such as clustering, classification, etc. Ever since Jaccard proposed a similarity measure to classify ecological species in 1901, numerous binary similarity and distance measures have been proposed in various fields. Applying approp...

The gastropod fauna of Bushehr Province intertidal zone at the Persian Gulf were identified following an investigation starting spring 2009 until winter 2011. Bushehr coastline is a 673.62 km stretch along the northern and northeastern coast of the Persian Gulf. Sampling took place from Deylam at Bushehr-Khuzestan borderlines, extending southeastward through Genaveh, Bushehr, Bolkheyr, Kab...

In this paper, we propose a semantically enabled news exploration method to aid journalists in overcoming the information overload in today’s news streams. To achieve this, our approach semantically tags news articles, calculates their relatedness through their similarity based on these tags, and creates an article graph to be browsed by an end-user. Based on related work, the Jaccard metric se...

In remote sensing applications, segmentation of input satellite images according to semantic information and estimating the category each pixel from a given set tags are great importance for automatic tracking task. It is important in situations such as building detection high resolution images, city planning, environmental preparation, disaster management. Buildings metropolitan areas crowded ...

The ease of accessing information results in an increase the level plagiarism. Plagiarism is act tacking other peoples’ writings or opinions and making it look as if they were by themselves without first studying not including source. A detection similarity application that made based on a website to detect document/text with documents/text. In addition, il also provides overview calculation se...

The virtual screening methods and techniques become one of the important and sophisticated ways of drug discovery, and molecules clustering, they are many methods proposed and applied in virtual screening, most of these screening methods used similarity coefficients to quantify the extent to which objects resemble one another. The result of using these similarity coefficients achieves a good re...

Senna spectabilis (DC.) H.S. Irwin & Barneby (Fabaceae; Caesalpinioideae), commonly known as "canafístula" or "cassia", is widely used in the semi-arid region of northeastern Brazil as a source of forage and timber. The plant presents a high nutritional content in comparison with other forage species that are native to the Brazilian Caatinga; thus, it represents a valuable resource during perio...

Information on the web is growing exponentially. The unprecedented growth of available information coupled with the vast number of available online activities. It has introduced a new wrinkle to the problem of web search. It is difficult to retrieve relevant information. In this context search engines have become a valuable tool for users to retrieve relevant information. Finding relevant infor...

Despite several decades of research into segmentation techniques, automated medical image segmentation is barely usable in a clinical context, and still at vast user time expense. This paper illustrates unsupervised organ segmentation through the use of a novel automated labelling approximation algorithm followed by a hypersurface front propagation method. The approximation stage relies on a pr...
