Engineering data management and software con guration management have been evolving fairly independently On the other hand it has been observed earlier that many parallels exist In this paper we examine the similarities of and di erences between EDM and SCM Many concepts are similar but there are some di erences concerning the objects to be managed As a consequence some sophisticated fea tures ...

Calculating a reliable similarity measure between pixel features is essential for many computer vision and image processing applications. We propose a similarity measure (affinity) between pixel features, which depends on the feature space histogram of the image. We use the observation that clusters in the feature space histogram are typically smooth and roughly convex. Given two feature points...

Using model systems to gain a better understanding of human disease and the underlying biology is standard in biological research. The power of model systems, however, has never been so great as in recent years with the growing availability of a wealth of genomic data from a variety of animals and plants and the ever more-advanced tools for probing, classifying, and characterizing these resourc...

the book mazamir is attributed to prophet david (as) and is full of metaphors about god, human being, sins, believers and unbelievers. although some parts of this book has not addressed and described the god in the way he deserves, it could be said that its metaphors are compatible and similar to those in holy quran in form and content. comparing the god to a shelter and the sinners to unfruitf...

the study of lexical similarities is one of the most important issues in religious text interpretation without which the comprehension of the holy quran is almost impossible. this domain of scholarship dates back to the beginning of the islamic era, and great scholars, before and after tabarsi, have taken it into consideration. the number of quranic homophones and similarities in some books pub...

Ingvar Johansson has argued that there are not only determinate universals, but also determinable ones. I here argue that this view is misguided, by reviving a line of argument to the following effect: what makes determinates falling under a same determinable similar cannot be distinct from what makes them different. If true, then some similarities — imperfect similarities between simple determ...

In this paper, we present an approach to automatically revealing phonological classes within historically related languages. A newly created bilingual German-Dutch pronunciation dictionary is used for learning phonological similarities between the onsets, nuclei and codas of these two languages via EM-based clustering. Our evaluation is twofold: we apply the models to predict from a German word...

a total of 90 species, belonging to 29 genera and 15 families, observed from an urban wetland of meghalaya is the species-rich rotifera assemblage known till date from any sub-tropical ecosystem of the indian sub-region. total richness (s) merits biodiversity value as ~56.0, ~ 38.0 and ~23.0 % of the species recorded from meghalaya, northeast india (nei) and india, respectively while several ro...

the afsaneh by nima yushij and gharib –un-ala - khalij by badr shaker are among poetic works which show many similarities , in spite of differences which give them their identity. these similarities indicate that these two works follow the same style and internal structure. the authors of this article try to compare the stylistic features of these two works and identify their similarities and s...
