The basic idea behind the ontology is to conceptualize information that is published in electronic format. The problem of ontology alignment is defined as identifying the relationship shared by the set of different entities where each entity belongs to separate ontology. The amount of similarity between two entities from two different ontologies takes part into the ontology alignment process. T...

In  cite{GL}, B. Gerla and I. Leuc{s}tean introduced the notion of similarity on MV-algebra. A similarity MV-algebra is an MV-algebra endowed with a binary operation $S$ that verifies certain additional properties. Also, Chirtec{s} in cite{C}, study the notion of similarity on L ukasiewicz-Moisil algebras. In particular, strong similarity L ukasiewicz-Moisil algebras were defined. In this paper...

A similarity transformation is obtained between general population matrices models of the Usher or Lefkovitch types and a simpler model, the pseudoLeslie model. The pseudo Leslie model is a matrix that can be decomposed in a row matrix, which is not necessarily non-negative and a subdiagonal positive matrix. This technique has computational advantages, since the solutions of the iterative probl...

In order to investigate the molecular diversity of mtDNA in Azeri population, 133 Azeri subjects inhabitingdifferent regions of Azerbaijan (Iran) were selected. Blood samples were taken from these subjects formtDNA extraction. The extracted mtDNA samples were then studied by the PCR-RFLP method.Fourteen haplogroups were characterized from which 82% were identified as European ...

understanding genetic structure and status of genetic variation of fasciola hepatica isolates from different hosts, has important implications on epidemiology and effective control of fasciolosis. random amplified polymorphic dna (rapd-pcr) was used to study the genetic variation of f. hepatica in sheep and cattle. dna was extracted from adult helminthes removed from livers of each infected ani...

Populations of the temperate seagrass, Zostera marina L. (eelgrass), often exist as discontinuous beds in estuaries, harbors, and bays where they can reproduce sexually or vegetatively through clonal propagation. We examined the genetic structure of three geographically and morphologically distinct populations from central California (Elkhorn Slough, Tomales Bay, and Del Monte Beach), using mul...

abstract to study virulence and molecular polymorphism variation of puccinia striiformis westend. f.sp.tritici eriks. (yellow rust disease agent) in iran, 86 isolates were collected from all around the country. race determination was carried out according to johnson et al. (1972) method. in addition, isolates were analyzed by aflp method by four primer combinations . according to the results of...

A large number of algorithms have been developed to identify population structure from genetic data. Recent results show that the information used by both model-based clustering methods and Principal Components Analysis can be summarised by a matrix of pairwise similarity measures between individuals. Similarity matrices have been constructed in a number of ways, usually treating markers as ind...
