Simulated annealing-based ontology matching [1], or SANOM, is an ontology alignment system which exploits the well-known simulated annealing to find the correspondences. The system considers three different similarity measures, namely string-based, linguistic-based and structural-based measures. A rudimentary version of the proposed method is participated in Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initia...

Accordingly, it would also be interesting to have answers to the following questions concerning Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease stage IV chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients. 1) How many patients with a ground-level arterial oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximetry of .95% underwent hypoxic challenge testing? 2) How many patients flew without oxygen and with...

Molecular evolutionary rates can show significant variation among lineages, complicating the task of estimating substitution rates and divergence times using phylogenetic methods. Accordingly, relaxed molecular clock models have been developed to accommodate such rate heterogeneity, but these often make the assumption of rate autocorrelation among lineages. In this paper, I examine the validity...

This equation expresses U2 as the ratio of two positive definite integrals. Accordingly, the solution is stable; moreover, it can be shown that equation (25) providesthe basis for a variational method of determining u2. The explicit solution of the underlying problem in hydromagnetic oscillations in case the prevailing fields are axisymmetric has many interesting features. They will be discusse...

The performance of pigs is influenced by genetic and environmental factors. Both the genetic merit of the pigs and the environment they are raised in have to be improved continuously to optimise progress in performance. In addition, the requirements of genotypes available today may have changed due to selection and the management of pigs has to be adopted accordingly to maximise phenotypic perf...

Within the field of numerical multilinear algebra, block tensors are increasingly important. Accordingly, it is appropriate to develop an infrastructure that supports reasoning about block tensor computation. In this paper we establish concise notation that is suitable for the analysis and development of block tensor algorithms, prove several useful block tensor identities, and make precise the...

Parties in financial markets, industries, compensation design or politics may negotiate on either a piecemeal or a bundled basis. Little is known about the desirability of bundling when values are common and/or information endogenous. The paper shows that bundling encourages information-equalizing investments, thereby facilitating trade. It accordingly revisits and qualifies existing knowledge ...

and pervasive networks and applications include a growing number of research themes. In most use cases, applications require location information to interpret their environment and behave accordingly. In this paper, location algorithms and positioning methods that can be used for wireless geolocation are presented.

Fuzzy cellular automata (FCA) are continuous cellular automata where the local rule is defined as the “fuzzification” of the local rule of a corresponding Boolean cellular automaton in disjunctive normal form. In this paper, we consider circular FCA; their asymptotic behaviours had previously been observed through simulation and FCA had been empirically classified accordingly. However, no analy...
