Minimal sampling areas have been determined for marine Bangiophyceae and Cyanophyceae epiphytic on Cladophora prolifera and Halopteris scoparia in Calvi, Corsica. This was done by observing the stabilization of species/area curves and of qualitative and quantitative similarity coefficients between samples of increasing size. For Cyanophyceae (studied only on Cladophora) the minimal sampling are...

Let I be a finite set of integers and F be a finite set of maps of the form n 7→ ki n + `i with integer coefficients. For an integer base k ≥ 2, we study the k-recognizability of the minimal set X of integers containing I and satisfying φ(X) ⊆ X for all φ ∈ F . In particular, solving a conjecture of Allouche, Shallit and Skordev, we show under some technical conditions that if two of the consta...

The within-participant reliability of three short-term memory effects – the word length effect, the semantic similarity effect, and the phonological neighbourhood effect – in immediate serial recall was explored using two existing datasets. This was done to address the question of the extent to which individual participants consistently showed the effects across trials, even when the effects we...

The paper presents the correlation and correlation coefficient of single-valued neutrosophic sets (SVNSs) based on the extension of the correlation of intuitionistic fuzzy sets and demonstrates that the cosine similarity measure is a special case of the correlation coefficient in SVNS. Then a decision-making method is proposed by the use of the weighted correlation coefficient or the weighted c...

background and objective: shigella species belong to the family enterobacteriaceae, which cause dysentery with abdominal pain and tenesmus in human. our country is one of the endemic and occasional epidemic areas of the disease. in the present study, repetitive extragenic palindromic polymerase chain reaction (rep-pcr) technique that has high differentiation and specificity power compared to ph...

Kemiripan dokumen (document similarity) merupakan salah satu topik penelitian yang populer. Pada konteks akademis, tingkat kemiripan sering digunakan sebagai ukuran indikasi plagiasi karya ilmiah. Selain itu, juga bermanfaat bagi akademisi dalam menemukan publikasi ilmiah selaras dengan tertentu. Kontribusi utama dari ini adalah melakukan analisis tesis mahasiswa pada suatu program studi. Hasil...

Pairwise similarity coefficients are downward biased when samples only record presences and sampling is partial. A simple but forgotten index proposed by Stephen Forbes in 1907 can help solve this problem. His original equation requires knowing the number of species absent in both samples that could have been present. It is proposed that this count should simply be ignored and that the coeffici...

When Tucker’s congruence coefficient is used to assess the similarity of factor interpretations, it is desirable to have a critical congruence level less than unity that can be regarded as indicative of identity of the factors. The literature only reports rules of thumb. The present article repeats and broadens the approach used in the study by Haven and ten Berge (1977). It aims to find a crit...

Intra-pair similarity of some somatological traits was analysed about 59 male and 69 female Japanese monozygotic twin-pairs aged between 12.25 and 13.25 years in terms of intraclass correlation coefficient (r') as well as Coefficient of Similarity (CS). Among 28 anthropometric measurements, the stature, body weight and iliospinal height consist of the highest similarity group, while skinfold th...

We present a framework for investigating properties of similarity measures as a criterion for selecting the best-suited measure for a specific task, in this paper: corpus selection for self-training. We focus on the squared Pearson’s correlation coefficient as the property to rank similarity measures. Selftraining is an unsupervised domain adaptation technique, in which three corpora are involv...
