In this paper, we present a revised similarity measure based onChen-and-Chen's similarity measure for fuzzy risk analysis. The revisedsimilarity measure uses the corrected formulae to calculate the centre ofgravity points, therefore it is more  effective than the Chen-and-Chen'smethod. The revised similarity measure can overcome the drawbacks of theexisting methods. We have also proposed a new ...

Multivariate time series (MTS) data are ubiquitous in science and daily life, and how to measure their similarity is a core part of MTS analyzing process. Many of the research efforts in this context have focused on proposing novel similarity measures for the underlying data. However, with the countless techniques to estimate similarity between MTS, this field suffers from a lack of comparative...

abstract geopedology is a systematic approach of geomorphic analysis for soil mapping which focuses the field operation mainly on sample area. the purpose of this study is to determine the credibility of generalization of the results of geopedological approach for similar landforms in the borujen region, using diversity and similarity indices in a soil taxonomic hierarchical structure. after a ...

The coefficient of kinship between two diploid organisms describes their overall genetic similarity to each other relative to some base population. For example, kinship between parent and offspring of 1/4 describes gene sharing in excess of random sharing in a random mating population. In a subdivided population the statistic Fst describes gene sharing within subdivisions in the same way. Since...

In the present study six different populations of L. orbonalis were collected and subjected to analysis of genetic variability in terms of carboxylesterase isozyme pattern and DNA polymorphism using RAPD-PCR. Pattern of carboxylesterase revealed a similar isozyme cluster in the populations namely, sivaganga (population-3), dindigal (population-4), virudhunagar (population-5) and coimbatore (pop...

in this study, the genetic diversity among paecilomyces variotti isolaes was investigated. sampling was performed from pistachio garden in seven geographical region of kerman province during 2011-2012. seventy isolates were identified as p. variotii species using morphological criteria. the genetic diversity among 20 selected isolates was assayed by variation at ssr marker bands using 12 pair p...
