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...

The ability to distinguish statistically different populations of speakers or writers can be an important asset in many NLP applications. In this paper, we describe a method of using document similarity measures to describe differences in behavior between native and non-native speakers of English in a writing task.

The Argentine ant, Linepithema humile, is a widespread invasive species characterized by reduced intraspecific aggression within introduced populations. To illuminate the mechanisms underlying nestmate recognition in Argentine ants, we studied the spatial and temporal fidelity of intraspecific aggression in an introduced population of Argentine ants within which intraspecific aggression does oc...

in order to study of genetic diversity and similarity among four native olive cultivars including ‘mari’, ‘zard’, ‘shengeh’ and ‘rowghani’, these cultivars were evaluated in five regions including ali abad, gilvan, tarom, manjil and jamal abad at 2012-2013. there was a significant difference among studied individuals. the correlation coefficient analysis among studied traits showed that there w...
