Abstract This paper addresses the role of analogical reasoning in archaeoastronomy - discipline which studies connections between ancient monuments and heavens. Archaeoastronomy is a highly interdisciplinary science, placed at border humanities – especially archaeology scientific approach to cultural heritage. As consequence, its foundations are delicate matter. We plan investigate here questio...

A novel technique for a self-equalized distributed amplifier is presented by showing the analogy between transversal filters and distributed amplifier topologies. The appropriate delay and gain coefficients of amplifier circuit are obtained by a Fourier expansion of the raised cosine spectrum in the frequency range of 0-40GHz.

Political scientists have shown that one can anticipate how a judge will decide a case more often than chance, or a reading of the facts, might allow by using various predictors such as party affiliation, gender, or the judge’s own decisions on earlier similar cases. The simplest explanation for such behavior is that judges first decide what they want the outcome of the case to be, then go back...

Over the past five years, cartographic practices have been profoundly renewed and have mainly been concentrated within large metropolises, where maps are usually found in the subway, in the street (street furniture) or in paperback city guides. ese maps are now available on the Internet and by extension on mobile phones, accompanying individuals as they move from place to place. Augmented by m...

This chapter claims that analogy-making, in particular the structural mapping ability is a very basic mechanism in human cognition and thus, it is also a basic mechanism for anticipation. A number of various everyday situations are analyzed that involve anticipation by analogy. Then the role of analogy is discussed in computational term to analyze why using analogy ensures flexible behavior and...
