Abstract:

Introduction: in the 2000s, political centralization and political space unification trends prevailed in Russia. Under these conditions, dissimilarity of the party-electoral landscape in the Russian regions is manifested in different voting for the main parties in federal and regional elections. Objectives: to identify how stable the dissimilarity of the partyelectoral landscape is reproduced in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, as well as to determine what factors affect the degree of the party-electoral landscape dissimilarity. Methods: quantitative analysis of votes for th

Abstract:

We have developed a procedure that characterizes the land use pattern of an urban system using: (a) Spatial entropy that measures the extent of spread of residential, business and industrial sectors; and (b) Index of dissimilarity that quantifies the degree of mixing in space of different sectors. The approach is illustrated by using the land use zoning maps of the city state of Singapore and a selection of North American cities. We show that a common feature of most cities is for the industrial areas to be highly clustered while at the same time segregated from the residential or business dis

Abstract:

Background Strokes are a leading cause of disability worldwide, with many survivors experiencing difficulty in recovering upper extremity movement, particularly hand function and grasping ability. There is currently no objective measure of movement quality, and without it, rehabilitative interventions remain at best informed estimations of the underlying neural structures’ response to produce movement. In this article, we utilize a novel modification to Procrustean distance to quantify curve dissimilarity and propose the Reach Severity and Dissimilarity Index (RSDI) as an objective measure of

Abstract:

Ecoacoustics is a recent ecological discipline focusing on the ecological role of sounds. Sounds from the geophysical, biological, and anthropic environment represent important cues used by animals to navigate, communicate, and transform unknown environments in well-known habitats. Sounds are utilized to evaluate relevant ecological parameters adopted as proxies for biodiversity, environmental health, and human wellbeing assessment due to the availability of autonomous audio recorders and of quantitative metrics.

Abstract:

Outbreaks of SARS-CoV-2 can be attributed to expanding small-scale localized infection subclusters that eventually propagate into regional and global outspread. These infections are driven by spatial as well as temporal mutational dynamics wherein virions diverge genetically as transmission occurs. Mutational similarity or dissimilarity of viral strains, stemming from shared spatiotemporal fields, thence serves as a gauge of relatedness. In our clinical laboratory, molecular epidemiological analyses of strain association are performed qualitatively from genomic sequencing data. These methods h

Therefore, efforts are currently being made to find and develop new gut microbiome-based tools to improve the management of UC. The aim of this study was to identify changes i

Despite the importance of occupational segregation as an area of investigation concerned with understanding women's employment status, pay levels, and promotional prospects during the last 20 years, there has been relatively little attention paid to the problems of trying to measure segregation levels in quantitative data.

The RAPD (Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA) technique was used to evaluate the genetic variation among twenty one wild bananas found in the northeastern region. Out of the ten primers used eight give 100% polymorphism. Among the ten primers used UBC-425 gives the highest polymorphic information content, resolving power as well as highest marker index. The highest dissimilarity index was obtained between the sample MZ1 (Changkha from Mizoram) and AR12 (kutikol from Arunachal) scoring the dissimilarity index of 0.85 whilst the lowest/highest dissimilarity/similarity was found between AS13 and AS

Abstract:

Identifying influential edges in a complex network is a fundamental topic with a variety of applications. Considering the topological structure of networks, we propose an edge ranking algorithm DID (Dissimilarity Influence Distribution), which is based on node influence distribution and dissimilarity strategy. The effectiveness of the proposed method is evaluated by the network robustness R and the dynamic size of the giant component and compared with well-known existing metrics such as Edge Betweenness index, Degree Product index, Diffusion Intensity and Topological Overlap index in nine real

Abstract:

ABSTRACT The success of breeding programs depends on genetic variability. Individuals selected based on a few traits may be a limitation. One alternative is the use of nonparametric indices. However, there is no information on the use of selection indices in melon germplasms. The present study aimed to estimate genetic dissimilarity in a melon germplasm and select potential parent plants for future breeding programs. The genetic material consisted of 37 melon accessions. The traits assessed were fruit diameter and length, diameter and length of the fruit cavity and total soluble solids. Geneti

Abstract:

Voting is a commonly used ensemble method aiming to optimize classification predictions by combining results from individual base classifiers. However, the selection of appropriate classifiers to participate in voting algorithm is currently an open issue. In this study we developed a novel Dissimilarity-Performance (DP) index which incorporates two important criteria for the selection of base classifiers to participate in voting: their differential response in classification (dissimilarity) when combined in triads and their individual performance. To develop this empirical index we firstly use

The sample data used were both males and females labor includes residents aged 15 years and over, namely workers aged 35-44 years. Measurement of occupational segregation is based on between occupational groups and provinces which is explained by a dissimilarity index. A dissimilarity index was constructed to measure occupational segregation. First, the percentage of a

Abstract:

Chart images exhibit significant variabilities that make each image different from others even though they belong to the same class or categories. Classification of charts is a major challenge because each chart class has variations in features, structure, and noises. However, due to the lack of affiliation between the dissimilar features and the structure of the chart, it is a challenging task to model these variations for automatic chart recognition. In this article, we present a novel dissimilarity-based learning model for similar structured but diverse chart classification. Our approach jo

Abstract Internal clustering validation is recognized as one of the vital issues essential to clustering applications, especially when external information is not available. Existing measures have their limitations in different application circumstances. There are still some deficiencies for Internal Validation of Boolean clustering. This paper proposes a new Clustering Validation index based on Type of Attributes for Boolean data (CVTAB). It evaluates the clustering quality in the light of Dissimilarity of two clusters for Boolean Data (DBD). The attributes in the Boolean Data are categorized

Racial diversity was found to be related to racial residential segregation and strongly related to racial isolation within the nation’s metropolitan and micropolitan areas at the block group level. However, the relationships were both complex and dependent on the racial group. Racial diversity was assessed for all 927 metropolitan and micropolitan areas as opposed to just the largest fifty or the largest one hundred. Racial segregation and isolation were assessed at the block group level (excluding water and zero population block groups), not the census tract level, within each metro/micro are

Abstract:

We have performed a detailed analysis of the soundscape inside an urban park (located in the city of Milan) based on simultaneous sound recordings at 16 locations within the park. The sound sensors were deployed over a regular grid covering an area of about 22 hectares, surrounded by a variety of anthropophonic sources. The recordings span 3.5 h each over a period of four consecutive days. We aimed at determining a soundscape ranking index (SRI) evaluated at each site in the grid by introducing 4 unknown parameters. To this end, a careful aural survey from a single day was performed in order t
