Similarity/dissimilarity analysis of DNA sequences is performed using 3D-dynamic representation. The sequences are represented by material points in a 3D-space. Descriptors related to such 3D-dynamic graphs are calculated. A new normalized similarity measure is introduced for a comparison of the sequences. The method is applied to β-globin (HBB) genes of different species. Different methods are compared. The multidimensionality of similarity space of complex objects is discussed (different results for each of the methods). It is also shown that it is easier to find the properties which are consistent with the observation of the evolution of the species for the second exons of β-globin gene rather than for the first ones.

Sesame cultivation was until recently restricted to the northwestern part of Benin. The yield is relatively low, as there are no improved varieties introduced and widely adopted so far. This study aimed to assess the molecular diversity, genetic differentiation, and the agronomic performance of a collection of local cultivars and introduced lines of sesame from China.

To date, the most commonly used column characterization databases do not determine the relative positive charge associated with new generation RP columns, or they fail to successfully discriminate between RP columns of purportedly low level positive and neutral characters. This paper rectifies this in that it describes a convenient and robust chromatographic procedure for the assessment of the low levels of positive charge on a range of RP columns. The low degree of positive charge was determined by their electrostatic attraction towards the negatively charged 4-n-octylbenzene sulfonic acid (4-OBSA) relative to their retention of the hydrophobic marker toluene (Tol).

The essential oils prepared by hydrodistillation of twenty-one brands of German chamomile (S1-S21) commercialized in Mexico were analyzed by GS-MS. Altogether, twenty-four different compounds were identified in the analyzed samples, varying from 77 to 100 % of the total composition. Multivariate analyses were applied to explore similarity/dissimilarity and correlation between all samples; the results revealed a strong correlation among samples S4, S5, and S7-S21 due to the presence of (Z)-en-yn-dicycloether [(Z)-tonghaosu], α-bisabolol, β-farnesene, β-eudesmol, and xanthoxylin.

This study assessed the influence of speaker similarity and sample length on the performance of an automatic speaker recognition (ASR) system utilizing the SpeechBrain toolkit. The dataset comprised recordings from 20 male identical twin speakers engaged in spontaneous dialogues and interviews. Performance evaluations involved comparing identical twins, all speakers in the dataset (including twin pairs), and all speakers excluding twin pairs.

Context: Nitisinone is a medium-sized organic molecule that is used in treating hereditary tyrosinemia type 1 (HT-1). The structurally analogous mesotrione, however, is used as a pesticide/herbicide. What molecular properties are responsible for the similarity/dissimilarity of these molecules is investigated here.
