Similarities induced by a comparability mapping : meaning and utility in the context of the clustering of comparable texts. In the presence of bilingual comparable corpora it is natural to embed the data in two distinct linguistic representation spaces in which a "computational" notion of similarity is potentially defined. As far as these bilingual data are comparable in the sense of a measure ...

Purpose To assess the comparability and repeatability of keratometric and astigmatism values measured by four techniques: Orbscan IIz® (Bausch and Lomb), Lenstar LS 900® (Haag-Streit), Cassini® (i-Optics), and Total Cassini (anterior + posterior surface), in healthy volunteers. Patients and methods Fifteen healthy volunteers (30 eyes) were assessed by the four techniques. In each eye, three c...

We give sufficient conditions for comparability of the fundamental solution of the Schrödinger equation ∂t = ∆ + V with the Gauss-Weierstrass kernel. We show that L integrability of V is not necessary for the comparability, which answers a question of V. Liskevich and Y. Semenov.

A graph is a P4-comparability graph if it admits an acyclic orientation of its edges which is transitive on every chordless path on four vertices. We give a characterization of P4-comparability graphs in terms of an auxiliary graph being bipartite. © 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Describes comparability of reporting of selected items common to the birth certificate and National Natality Survey questionnaires. Items include age and education of parents, number of previous children, number of fetal deaths, plurality, birth weight, length of pregnancy, and receipt of prenatal care. Querec, LindaJ. Comparability of reporting on birth certificates and national natality surve...

This study examines whether mandatory adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) leads to capital market benefits through enhanced financial statement comparability. UK domestic standards are considered very similar to IFRS (Bae et al. 2008), suggesting any capital market benefits observed for UK-domiciled firms are more likely attributable to improvements in comparability (...

The purpose of this paper is to review the research addressing the comparability of computer-delivered tests and pencil-and-paper tests, and particularly the research since 1993. The first part of this paper summarizes the state of online testing technology and the different methods used in the comparability studies. The second part discusses the results from the studies, specifically in K-12 t...

The development of a recently proposed method for calculating molecular properties is outlined. The approach is based on the idea of constructing optimized compound samples for structure-property or structure-activity correlations by means of the so-cailed comparability graphs (CG) of isomeric compounds. A dynamic comparability principle is devised, proceeding from a series of standard molecula...
