inferences as metaphorical spatial inferences Spatial inferences are characterized by the topological structure of image-schemas. We have seen cases such as CATEGORIES ARE CONTAINERS and LINEAR SCALES ARE PATHS where image-schema structure is preserved by metaphor and where abstract inferences about categories and linear scales are metaphorical versions of spatial inferences about containers an...

Study of the Pannonian sediments in the southwestern part of the Medvednica Mts. (Fig. 1) and their relationship with underlying Sarmatian deposits, revealed two entirely new forms of the genus C o n g e r i a . GORJANOVI∆-KRAMBERGER (1890) noticed and briefly described a new congerian form from the “Praepontian white marls” from the VrapËe locality, but he did not establish and name a new spec...

The aim of this paper is to present a system that detects the hand gesture motions using the principle of Doppler Effect. Ultrasonic waves are transmitted by a sensor module and are reflected by a moving hand. The received waves are frequency shifted due to Doppler Effect. These frequency shifts in the ultrasonic waves are characterized to determine gestures. The gestures once recognized are ma...

This paper gave a method in tackling the animation of leaves’ movement. Various kinds of leaves were classified into two classes: moveable and non-moveable. For moveable leaves, their movements are consisted of two parts: leafstalk’s rotation and leaf surface’s rotation. For each rotation, a movement model was constructed and the movement was computed based on each model, respectively. The fina...

AbstractThe Least Eligibility Principle (LEP) has been variously engaged throughout US history to sort service populations into the deserving and undeserving. The no-frills prison policy movement o...

The purpose of the present experiment was to investigate the adaptation to fatigue in a multijoint movement. The subjects' task was to throw a ball towards one of three targets in two conditions of no fatigue and fatigue. Results showed that the number of successful trials decreased with fatigue. Analysis of these successful trials showed that, without fatigue, the final hand velocity resulted ...

We consider the evolution of sets by nonlocal mean curvature and we discuss preservation along flow two geometric properties, which are convexity outward minimality. The main tools in our analysis level set formulation minimizing movement scheme for flow. When initial is minimizing, also show convergence (time integrated) perimeters discrete evolutions to perimeter limit

We present a real-time agent-based approach to modeling crowd behavior that is based on complementary psychological and engineering principles. The application focus is for developing realistic models that address not only the physical but also the psychological aspects of crowd behavior. Our approach to modeling the psychology of a crowd is based on the principle of emotional reflection. Accor...

References are an integral part of popular object-oriented languages. They permit efficient data movement and parameter passing, and implement object identity. But their current use complicates reasoning by routinely introducing object aliasing. As a result, a significant body of research has focused on alias control techniques for object-oriented languages. This paper aims to simplify reasonin...

In this work, we solve an open problem related to the exchange principle of fuzzy implications [Problem 3.1, Fuzzy Sets and Systems 261(2015) 112-123]. We show that two important generalizations of the exchange principle, namely, the generalized exchange principle(GEP) and the mutual exchangeability(ME) are sufficient conditions for the solution of the problem. We also show that, under some con...
