Efficient Algorithms for Vector Similarities
… images, graphs, or molecules whose geometric similarities capture intuitive notions of semantic similarities. It is thus common to curate massive datasets of embeddings by inferencing on a machine learning model of choice. However, the sheer dataset size and large dimensionality is often …

Generations in the Workplace: Similarities and Differences.
<p>Occurrences of four generations working side by side are not unusual. The four generations include Traditionalist, Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Generation Y. Members of each generation have views and opinions about their work ethic and their definition of loyalty to the …

Sherlock Holmes & Hercule Poirot: Analysation, similarities and differences
… Both being detective stories, they share many similarities, yet are different, but how? The purpose of this thesis is to take stories of these two famous characters and analyse them. The main characters and important recurring characters from each story will be taken a look at and analysed. The …

PROTEIN SURFACE SIMILARITIES EVALUATION FOR FUNCTIONAL ANNOTATION STUDIES
… on the three-dimensional structure and allow similarities to be identified which other methods can’t identify. Furthermore, molecular surfaces are the interface of interaction between molecules, and their geometrical and physical descriptions will lead to the comprehension of the molecular …

The acetanilide crystal structures: packing and conformational similarities
… was studied in detail for crystal structure similarities using the XPac algorithm and conformational preferences were assessed. Chapter 4 presents the crystal structures and their structural similarities, whilst Chapter 5 focuses on the theoretical conformational analysis. Three amide-amide …

Learning to super-resolve images using self-similarities
… directly. Our proposed algorithms seek self-similarities in the sub-bands of the image, for better synthesizing fine textural details. Second, we address the problem of super-resolving an image in the presence of noise. To this end, we propose the first super-resolution algorithm based on …

Age-related similarities in the attentional visual field
… benefit found in Experiment 1, but found similarities in attentional performance across young and older adults. Meta-analysis of mean capacity scores across all four experiments indicates general age-related benefit in visual divided capacity. Meta-analyses of effects of eccentricity and …

Syntax and semantics: Similarities in late positive components
The ERP component known as the (syntactic) P600 has long been associated with syntactic processing as it has consistently been seen to have a larger amplitude to critical words in sentences that contain syntactic violations or complex structure. With the later discovery of a morphologically similar …

Revisiting the Effect of Cultural Similarities on Mergers & Acquisitions
… investigates the relationship between cultural similarities in CSR policies and M&As results. This research builds upon Bereskin et al. (2018) by examining how CSR Strength and CSR Concern dimensions affect M&A occurrence rates, as well as both Cumulative Abnormal Returns (CARs) and post-merger …

Similarities and Differences among Commonly Used Verbal List Learning Tasks
The current study identifies intra-individual performance differences on three commonly used verbal list learning tests, and it discusses implications of these differences for both clinical and research applications. The measures of interest are the California Verbal List Learning Test – Second …

The holocaust and apartheid: similarities and differences: a comparative study
… and Apartheid. This dissertation explores similarities and differences. It acknowledges that both systems were rooted in ideas of race, but while the tools used by the Nazis in Germany and the apartheid government in South Africa are superficially similar, their very different objectives …

COVID-19 Variant Analyzer through Genomic Sequences and Jaccard Similarities
The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the urgent need for efficient genomic surveillance to track the emergence and spread of SARS-CoV-2 variants. This study developed a novel computational framework to enhance variant detection by leveraging a database-driven approach and genomic sequence …

Trajectories and Transitions: Exploration of Gender Similarities and Differences in Offending
This study uses latent class analysis and latent transition analysis to model and compare patterns of offending over time for males and females by: (1) identifying qualitative dimensions of offending; (2) modeling how patterns of offending change over time; and (3) exploring factors related to …

Scalable factorization model to discover implicit and explicit similarities across domains
… we propose to exploit both explicit and implicit similarities extracted from latent factors across domains with matrix tri-factorization. On the coupled dimensions, common parts of the coupled factors across domains are shared among them. At the same time, their domain-specific parts are …

Food Consumption Similarities and Differences for Two Types of Jamaican Households
<p>The study fills a gap in the literature by comparing two types of Jamaican households and how these households differed in their food consumption patterns. This study collected data from two focus groups and 102 survey respondents from the cities of Pembroke Pines, Miramar and Lauderdale Lakes …
