In [1], Aha et al. introduced a framework and methodology for machine learning, which is instances-based learning. They defined a set of rules for nearest neighbor algorithms and extended them. These algorithms are still in use for knearest neighbor classifier, which is very much related with my topic “similarity search”. In [2], Galper et al. described the similarity search and proposed a dyna...

Background: In this study we have prepared the IgA solution from normal human plasma using plasma fractionation and ion exchange chromatography. Materials and Methods: Using fractionation of plasma with cold ethanol (starting with 8% ethanol), fraction III was prepared as a suitable source for IgA preparation. Then it was treated with caprylic acid for separation of impurities. For enrichm...

We describe a solution for matching Linked Open Data (LOD) entities to concepts within a local thesaurus. The solution is currently integrated into a demonstrator of the PoolParty thesaurus management software. The underlying motivation is to support thesaurus users in linking locally relevant concepts in a thesaurus to descriptions available openly on the Web. Our concept matching algorithm ra...

An analytic technique, namely, the homotopy analysis method, is applied to give series solution of the unsteady boundary-layer flows over an impermeable stretching plate. Different from all previous perturbation solutions, our series solutions are convergent in the whole time region 0 ≤ τ < +∞. To the best of our knowledge, such kind of series solution has never been reported for this problem. ...

So as to create innovative car silhouettes, we propose in this paper a model based on an Interactive Genetic Algorithm using an encoding of a design solution by a Fourier analysis approach. This model permits the designer to browse through generations of car profiles from an initial population of existing silhouettes. By qualitatively assessing each individual, the designer converge towards sol...

All Pairs Similarity Search (APSS) is the problem of finding all pairs of records with similarity scores above a specified threshold. Incremental All Pairs Similarity Search (IAPSS) is the problem of performing APSS multiple times over the same dataset by varying the similarity threshold. This problem is ubiquitous in many real-world systems like search engines, online social networks, and digi...

In this paper, we focus on the importance of examining characteristics of non-dominated solutions especially when a user should select only one solution from non-dominated solutions at a time, and select another solution due to the change of problem conditions. Although he can select any solution from non-dominated solutions, the similarity of selected solutions should be considered in practica...

We present a numerical method for scalar conservation laws in one space dimension. The solution is approximated by local similarity solutions. While many commonly used approaches are based on shocks, the presented method uses rarefaction and compression waves. The solution is represented by particles that carry function values and move according to the method of characteristics. Between two nei...

In this paper, the unsteady stagnation-point boundary layer flow and heat transfer of a special third grade fluid past a permeable stretching/shrinking sheet has been studied. Similarity transformation is used to transform the system of boundary layer equations which is in the form of partial differential equations into a system of ordinary differential equations. The system of similarity equat...

A similarity solution is proposed for the analysis of steady free convection heat and mass transfer over a stretching sheet. The effect of radiation, chemical reaction and variable viscosity on hydromagnetic heat and mass transfer in the presence of magnetic field are investigated. The governing partial differential equations are transformed to the ordinary differential equations using similari...
