چکیده
We present and discuss quality assessment of visual blends based on how humans perceive them. This work represents part of a wider study aimed at determining the fundamental characteristics of a good blend. Based on the obtained insights, we hope to make a more comprehensible explanation of some less clear and not fully described aspects of the conceptual blending mechanism that play a fundamental role in creative thinking. Additionally, we intend to bring these insights into the design of artificial creative systems.

This paper considers briefly some of the reasons for this, focusing on what is meant by “competition in healthcare” and why it is more valuable to think about th...
متن کاملOptimisation of Healthcare Contracts: Tensions Between Standardisation and Innovation; Comment on “Competition in Healthcare: Good, Bad or Ugly?”
An important determinant of health system performance is contracting. Providers often respond to financial incentives, despite the ethical underpinnings of medicine, and payers can craft contracts to influence performance. Yet contracting is highly imperfect in both single-payer and multi-payer health systems. Arguably, in a competitive, multi-payer environment, contractual innovation may occur...

Dispersion of nanoparticles in nanostructures is one of the most important indicators designed to verify the effectiveness of proposed methods in the synthesis of nanomaterials. In the recent years, various methods have been suggested for the synthesis of nanostructures in which the Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) has been used to show the quality of the nanomaterial. The SEM images of nanop...
