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...

iris belongs toiridaceae family and it is monocotyledon. iris is one of the important ornamental and medicinal plants. 34 iris genotypes (14 species) collected from different provinces of iran were planted at national institute of ornamental plants (niop) iran. all of the species evaluated for 15 quantitative traits and 30 qualitative traits. results showed that the highest positive correlation...

After conducting a roving survey in Chittoor district for the natural occurrence of Nomuraea rileyi, a few fungal infected and died (mummified) cadavers of Spodoptera litura and Bombyx mori were found and collected. With microscopic studies, the fungus was identified as Nomuraea rileyi and Beauveria bassiana. The molecular characterization of 7 isolates of N.rileyi was done by RAPD-PCR for stud...

in the present study, random amplified polymorphic dna (rapd) and inter-simple sequence repeat (issr) markers were used to estimate genetic diversity and relationships among 35 cluster bean [cyamopsis tetragonoloba (l.) taub] genotypes. for rapd analysis, 20 random primers were used which amplified 164 bands, 147 of which were polymorphic with an average polymorphism of 90.3%. the amplified pro...

red fleshed apples have high levels of anthocyanins in their flesh. iran enjoys a large variety of these apples due to its location in central asia. in the present study, 20 genotypes including eight iranian red fleshed and 12 commercial iranian and foreign apples were selected for the study of genetic diversity of red fleshed apples. we used a set of 11 microsatellite markers (ssrs) to determi...

Similarity measures are widely used in various applications such as information retrieval, image and object recognition, text retrieval, and web data search. In this paper, we propose similarity-based methods for defect detection on patterned textures using five different similarity measures, viz., Normalized Histogram Intersection Coefficient, Bhattacharyya Coefficient, Pearson Product-moment ...

This paper compares the performance of Jaccard's similarity coefficient with the producti on data-based simi 1arity coeffi­ cient. A number of machine-component charts taken from the literature or randomly generated are used to form machine-component groups. Then, the sum of intercellular and intracellular material handling costs for each machine-component group is calculated and used as a basi...
