When there is more than one perspective to interpret a dataset, concordance (or discordance) between the result sets from the different perspectives plays an important role in getting refined results. For example, several clustering algorithms generate different results for the same input. To get useful insights, users need to combine different perspectives by checking concordance between those...

Background: Infertility is defined as 1 year of unprotected intercourse without pregnancy. The main causes of infertility are as follows: male factor, Both mail and female, as well as unexplained etiologies. Tubal and peritoneal factors Aceount for 30%-40% of causes of female infertility. Tubal factors include damage and obstraction of the fallopian tube, usually associated with previous pelvic...

In this paper we are going to explain some of the problems we have found in our attempts to mechanize the Historical Dictionary (D.H.) of the Spanish language. Our experimental project is a collaboration of the Royal Spanish Academy (R.A.E.) and the Computer Center of the University of Madrid (CCVM). There are, indeed, many procedures for making concordances of a text, and those procedures are,...

In this paper, we report on the construction of a resource of Swiss legislative texts that is automatically annotated with structural, morphosyntactic and content-related information, and we discuss the exploitation of this resource for the purposes of legislative drafting, legal linguistics and translation and for the evaluation of legislation. Our resource is based on the classified compilati...

IF K is an oriented knot in S, the reverse of K, K*, is the knot K with its orientation reversed. (This has traditionally been called the inverse of K. We call it the reverse to distinguish it from the inverse to K in the knot concordance group, denoted by -K and represented by the mirror image of K with orientation reversed.) Fox [3] asked for an example of a knot which is not isotopic to its ...

In today’s highly competitive manufacturing environment, an effective supplier selection process is very important for the success of any business organization. Selection of the best supplier is always a difficult task for the purchasing manager. Suppliers have varied strengths and weaknesses which require careful assessment by the purchasing manager before selecting and ranking them. Any suppl...

We prove the nontriviality at all levels of the filtration of the classical topological knot concordance group C · · · ⊆ Fn ⊆ · · · ⊆ F1 ⊆ F0 ⊆ C. defined in [COT]. This filtration is significant because not only is it strongly connected to Whitney tower constructions of Casson and Freedman, but all previously-known concordance invariants are related to the first few terms in the filtration. In...

In the article, theoretical principles and practical realization for the compilation of the concordance to"Perekhresni stezhky"("The Cross-Paths"), a novel by Ivan Franko, are described. Two forms for the context presentation are proposed. The electronic version of this lexicographic work is available online.

The decision making problem with interval numbers is an important topic of uncertain multiple attribute decision making. A difficulty to solve the interval decision making problems is the ranking method of interval numbers, because among the interval numbers exist cross, it’s difficult to ranking the alternatives directly. This paper studied how to make use of the traditional method for certain...
