Semantic-based Merging of RSS Items

2009

Merging XML documents can be of key importance in several applications. For instance, merging the RSS news from same or different sources and providers can be beneficial for end-users in various scenarios. In this paper, we address this issue and explore the relatedness measure between RSS elements. We show here how to define and compute exclusive relations between any two elements and provide several predefined merging operators that can be extended and adapted to human needs. We also provide a set of experiments conducted to validate our approach. © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2009.

Relating RSS News/Items

2009

Merging related RSS news (coming from one or different sources) is beneficial for end-users with different backgrounds (journalists, economists, etc.), particularly those accessing similar information. In this paper, we provide a practical approach to both: measure the relatedness, and identify relationships between RSS elements. Our approach is based on the concepts of semantic neighborhood and vector space model, and considers the content and structure of RSS news items. © 2009 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.

Semantic Measures: A State of the Art

2014

Significant advances in terms of syntactic, structural and schematic heterogeneity have been achieved by adopting conventions and standards. The IT community is now trying to solve the problem of semantic heterogeneity (particularly in the Semantic Web field). To reach this objective, it is necessary to enable machines to understand the semantics of terms. Semantics, as opposed to syntax, defines the mental representation of concepts corresponding to the symbols used in texts or images. When a person reads a text, he uses a semantization process which enables him to associate an interpretation to each sign identified. This operation uses a number of underlying processes such as measuring se…

Autonomy and relatedness among US and Italian emerging adults: The relations with parental practices and psychological adjustment

Whole-Genome Analyses

2014

Abstract Average nucleotide identity (ANI) was proposed almost 10 years ago as a means to compare genetic relatedness among prokaryotic strains. It was found that values around 95% corresponded to the 70% DNA–DNA hybridization cut-off value that is widely used to delineate archaeal and bacterial species. ANI calculations are one of the many aspects and approaches that can be derived from comparative genomic data and used for taxonomic purposes. Here, an overview about the impact and current usage of ANI values is given together with details of the existing user-friendly package tool, the biology-oriented software package JSpecies, which can be used to generate two types of ANI calculations …

Earnings management of target firms and deal premiums: The role of industry relatedness

2022

This paper contributes to the merger and acquisitions (M&A) literature by providing evidence for the role of industry relatedness in the association between target firms' earnings management (EM) before the deal and the premium offered by the acquirer. We argue that familiarity with the industry's policies and practices is a crucial factor that helps acquirers to see through targets' EM. Our evidence supports this prediction in relation to accounting manipulation as we observe that the income increasing accrual manipulation of the target results in significantly higher premiums offered by acquirers in interindustry deals, which is not the case when targets and acquirers belong to the same i…

Dzīves telpa, tās organizēšana un mobilitāte: gadījuma izpēte par radniecību Darotkorgonā (Kirgizstāna)

2018

Darbā aplūkota cilvēku sasaistība teritoriālā mērogā, pētot iekšējo un ārejo faktoru ietekmi uz radniecību, dzīves telpu un mobilitāti Kirgizstānas augtskalnes ciemā. Argumenēju, ka cilvēku saitēm ir teritoriāls raksturs; dažādām sasaistības formām ir nozīme ikdienā, kur radniecība tās strukturē pēc vecuma un dzimuma, kas ietekmē kā precību iespējas, tā mobilitāti: piemēram, vecāka vīrieša personas neesamība ģimenē atklāj sievietes ievainojamību. Vēršu uzmanību, kā sasaistība apšauba atsevišķas patības iespēju. Ciema iedzīvotājus vieno dalīta dzīves telpas uztvere, kas iekļauj tās nemitīgu pielāgošanu un īpašu sadarbību, ko ietekmē gan ganību sezona, gan biežās zemestrīces. Mājas celšana sa…

Data from: No evidence for prezygotic postcopulatory avoidance of kin despite high inbreeding depression

2018

Offspring resulting from mating among close relatives can suffer from impaired fitness through the expression of recessive alleles with deleterious effects. Post-copulatory sperm selection (a pre-zygotic mechanism of cryptic female choice) has been suggested to be an effective way to avoid inbreeding. To investigate whether post-copulatory female choice allows avoiding fertilization by close kin, we performed artificial inseminations in a promiscuous bird, the houbara bustard (Chlamydotis undulata undulata). Females were inseminated with a mix of sperm from triads of males, each constituted of a male genetically unrelated to the female, a first cousin, and a half-sibling. When counting the …

Data from: When earwig mothers do not care to share: parent-offspring competition and the evolution of family life

2018

1. Kin competition often reduces – and sometimes entirely negates – the benefits of cooperation among relatives, and hence is often regarded as central process in social evolution. Surprisingly, however, our understanding of the role of kin competition in the evolution of family life remains fragmentary, despite the close scrutiny it received in studies on sibling rivarly. This is because much less attention has been given to local competition between parents and their offspring, and its potential impact on the early evolution of parental care and family life. 2. Here, we examined mother-offspring competition over food access in the European earwig Forficula auricularia, an insect with facu…

Data from: Ecological niche features override biological traits and taxonomic relatedness as predictors of occupancy and abundance in lake littoral m…

2018

The degree to which species ecological and biological traits determine their distribution and abundance has intrigued ecologists for a long time, and it has seen a revival in recent years. This topic is important because it provides information about the determinants of species rarity and their conservation implications. We examined the effects of niche breadth, niche position, biological traits and taxonomic relatedness on the interspecific occupancy-abundance relationship, as well as on occupancy and abundance, in lake littoral macroinvertebrates. We sampled 48 lakes in a boreal lake district, found altogether 155 species, and calculated regional occupancy (as the proportion of sites occu…
