Download or read book Similarity in Diversity written by D. L. Morabito and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2003 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together interdisciplinary topics in condensed matter theory and related disciplines, with an emphasis on the common concerns of (mostly) theorists applying advanced many-particle methods in diverse areas: solid state and low temperature physics; atomic, sub-atomic, and statistical physics; engineering sciences, keeping a sharp focus on theoretical developments which cross borders between subfields of condensed matter physics and which provide new approaches to outstanding problems. The book records the fascinating variety of new results associated with the idea of similarity in diversity. In perusing this volume, the reader will be stimulated to discern threads of similarity in the great diversity of physical phenomena and theoretical models proposed to explain them; and indeed there are threads that can be glimpsed in the table of contents, and ramifications of these threads as one reads through the articles. One conclusion is clear: the search for similarity in diversity is a powerful approach to interdisciplinary science.

The second section contains three empirical studies relating to the leadership language used by senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama during the last presidential election, building social capital through leader-member exchanges, and the big-five personality and financial performance of fund managers. Section three contains an essay on revising Phelan's model on entrepreneurship and a case study on a small business organization. The fourth section contains three contributions, two theoretical papers and an empirical study of the administration of state governments.The contributions included are "The Moderating Role of Social Attitudes on the Relationship between Diversity and Conflict" "The Effects of Geographic Dispersion and Team Tenure" "Fairness and Consumer Behavior" "Obama vs. Clinton: Exploring the Impact of Leadership Language" "Social Capital Via Leader" "Financial Performance of Fund Managers" "A Conceptual Framework Linking Entrepreneurs to International New Venture Competitiveness" and "BSL Printing Company: A Case Study."
Download or read book Foodinformatics written by Karina Martinez-Mayorga and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-11-21 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The explosion in the generation of information parallels the explosion of computational resources. The use of computers to collect, store and manipulate chemical information is at the heart of chemoinformatics. These methodologies, whose main target thus far has been the pharmaceutical field, are general and can be applied to other types of chemical data sets, such as those containing food chemicals. While the use of chemical information methodologies to address food-related challenges is still in its infancy, interest is growing and will continue to do so as the methods prove useful, particularly for providing practical solutions to food industry challenges. Foodinformatics gives an overview of basic concepts, applications, tools and perspectives of the emerging field of foodinformatics. The book is an important addition to the literature and will be of interest of food chemists, nutritionists, informaticians and scientists of related fields.

Download or read book Structural Syntactic and Statistical Pattern Recognition written by Niels da Vitoria Lobo and published by Springer. This book was released on 2008-12-02 with total page 1029 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series contains 98 papers presented at the S+SSPR 2008 workshops. S+SSPR 2008 was the sixth time that the SPR and SSPR workshops organized by Technical Committees, TC1 and TC2, of the International Association for Pattern Rec- nition (IAPR) wereheld as joint workshops. S+SSPR 2008was held in Orlando, Florida, the family entertainment capital of the world, on the beautiful campus of the University of Central Florida, one of the up and coming metropolitan universities in the USA. S+SSPR 2008 was held during December 4–6, 2008 only a few days before the 19th International Conference on Pattern Recog- tion(ICPR2008),whichwasheldin Tampa,onlytwo hoursawayfromOrlando, thus giving the opportunity of both conferences to attendees to enjoy the many attractions o?ered by two neighboring cities in the state of Florida. SPR 2008 and SSPR 2008 received a total of 175 paper submissions from many di?erent countries around the world, thus giving the workshop an int- national clout, as was the case for past workshops. This volume contains 98 accepted papers: 56 for oral presentations and 42 for poster presentations. In addition to parallel oral sessions for SPR and SSPR, there was also one joint oral session with papers of interest to both the SPR and SSPR communities. A recent trend that has emerged in the pattern recognition and machine lea- ing research communities is the study of graph-based methods that integrate statistical andstructural approaches.

Download or read book Fundamentals of Molecular Similarity written by Ramon Carbó-Dorca and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years the fundamental concepts and applied methodologies of molecular similarity analysis have experienced a revolutionary development. Motivated by the increased degree of understanding of elementary molecular properties on the levels ranging from fundamental quantum chemistry to the complex interactions of biomolecules, and aided by the spectacular progress in computer technology and access to computer power, the area has opened up to many new ideas and new approaches. This book covers topics in quantum similarity approaches, electron density shape analysis methods, and it provides better theoretical understanding of molecular similarity. Additionally, quantitative shape analysis, especially activity relations (QShAR) and the prediction of the pharmacological or toxicological effects of molecules in the related context of quantum QSAR (QQSAR). This volume written by the experts in the various subfields of molecular similarity, provides a collection of the most recent ideas, advances, and methodologies. It is the hope of the Editors that by representing these topics within a single volume, the readers will find a balanced overview of the status of the field. We also hope that the book will serve as a tool for selecting and assessing the best approach for various new types of problems of molecular similarity that may arise and it will provide a set of easy references for further studies and applications.
Download or read book Operators for Similarity Search written by Deepak P and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive tutorial on similarity operators. The authors systematically survey the set of similarity operators, primarily focusing on their semantics, while also touching upon mechanisms for processing them effectively. The book starts off by providing introductory material on similarity search systems, highlighting the central role of similarity operators in such systems. This is followed by a systematic categorized overview of the variety of similarity operators that have been proposed in literature over the last two decades, including advanced operators such as RkNN, Reverse k-Ranks, Skyline k-Groups and K-N-Match. Since indexing is a core technology in the practical implementation of similarity operators, various indexing mechanisms are summarized. Finally, current research challenges are outlined, so as to enable interested readers to identify potential directions for future investigations. In summary, this book offers a comprehensive overview of the field of similarity search operators, allowing readers to understand the area of similarity operators as it stands today, and in addition providing them with the background needed to understand recent novel approaches.
