Categories and narratives as sources of distinctiveness: Cultural entrepreneurship within and across categories

To Build or Break Away? the Cultural Shaping of Nanotechnology Innovation within and across Categories

Reaction times to comparisons within and across phonetic categories.

Same-different reaction times (RTs) were obtained to pairs of synthetic speech sounds ranging perceptually from /ba/ through /pa/. Listeners responded "same" if both stimuli in a pair were the same phonetic segments (i.e., /ba/-/ba/ or /pa/-/pa/) or "different" if both stimuli were different phonetic segments (i.e., /ba/-/pa/ or /pa/-/ba/). RT for "same" responses was faster to pairs of acousti...

CLUSTER ALGEBRAS AND CLUSTER CATEGORIES

These are notes from introductory survey lectures given at the Institute for Studies in Theoretical Physics and Mathematics (IPM), Teheran, in 2008 and 2010. We present the definition and the fundamental properties of Fomin-Zelevinsky’s cluster algebras. Then, we introduce quiver representations and show how they can be used to construct cluster variables, which are the canonical generator...

Convergence and quantale-enriched categories

Generalising Nachbin's theory of ``topology and order'', in this paper we   continue the study of quantale-enriched categories equipped with a compact   Hausdorff topology. We compare these $V$-categorical compact Hausdorff spaces   with ultrafilter-quantale-enriched categories, and show that the presence of a   compact Hausdorff topology guarantees Cauchy completeness and (suitably   defined) ...

Perceptuo-motor interactions across and within phonemic categories

Past studies have demonstrated that reaction times in producing CV syllables are modulated by audio distractors participants hear while preparing their responses. Galantucci et al. [5] showed that participants respond faster on trials with identical response-distractor pairs than when the response and distractor differ in voicing or articulator. The dynamical model of phonological planning deve...
