In biology, similarity in structure or sequence between molecules is often used as evidence of functional similarity. In protein interaction networks, structural similarity of nodes (i.e., proteins) is often captured by comparing node signatures (vectors of topological properties of neighborhoods surrounding the nodes). In this paper, we ask how well such topological signatures predict protein ...

b) moderate stochastic transitivity: For a reciprocal fuzzy relation Q : x2 + [O, 11 on a finite set of alternatives X , we introduce the concept of U-transitivity which is based upon the ordering of the matrix elements qij, qjk and qki of Q for all triples of indices i, j and k. We show that U-transitivity generalizes both stochastic and fuzzy transitivity. The U-transitivity of the secalled u...

Recently, we introduced the framework of cycletransitivity as a general means of representing transitivity conditions on reciprocal relations. In this framework, for reciprocal relations, the concepts of T -transitivity and stochastic transitivity can be cast. The upper bound functions encountered in this framework for product-transitivity and dice-transitivity, conceptually related to the prob...

We examine properties of binary relations that complement quasi-transitivity and Suzumura consistency in the sense that they, together with the original axiom(s), are equivalent to transitivity. In general, the conjunction of quasi-transitivity and Suzumura consistency is strictly weaker than transitivity but in the case of collective choice rules that satisfy further properties, the conjunctio...

Recent investigations in computational biology have focused on a family of 2-colored digraphs, called best match graphs (briefly 2-BMGs), which naturally arise from rooted phylogenetic trees. Actually the defining properties 2-BMG are unusual apart bi-transitivity, and natural question is whether 2-BMGs also well fit structural graph theory. In this paper we show some such properties. A major r...

Trust can be used to improve online automated recommendation within a given domain. Trust transitivity is used to make it successful. But trust transitivity has different interpretations. Trust and trust transitivity; both are the human mental phenomenon and for this reason, there is no such thing as objective transitivity. Trust transitivity and trust fusion both are important elements in comp...

Hopper and Thompson (1980) defined a multiaxis theory of transitivity that goes beyond simple syntactic transitivity and captures how much “action” takes place in a sentence. Detecting these features requires a deep understanding of lexical semantics and real-world pragmatics. We propose two general approaches for creating a corpus of sentences labeled with respect to the Hopper-Thompson transi...

Following Swales’s (1981) works on genre analysis, studies on different sections of research articles in different languages and fields abound. This paper compares Applied Linguistics  research article abstracts published in Oxford University and Islamic Azad University of Tabriz in English using Swales’s (1981-1990) move structure model and Halliday’s (1994) description of transitivity process...

in addition to exploring constructions and properties of limits and colimits in categories of topologicalalgebras, we study special subcategories of topological algebras and their properties. in particular, undercertain conditions, reflective subcategories when paired with topological structures give rise to reflectivesubcategories and epireflective subcategories give rise to epireflective subc...
