The process by which two people share attention towards the same object or event is called joint attention. Joint attention and the underlying triadic representations between self, other person and object are thought to be unique to humans, supporting teaching, cooperation and language learning. Despite the progress that has been made in understanding the behavioural importance of joint attenti...

Direct numerical simulations of flows in cylinders subjected to both rapid rotation and axial precession are presented and analysed in the context of a stability theory based on the triadic resonance of Kelvin modes. For a case that was chosen to provide a finely tuned resonant instability with a small nutation angle, the simulations are in good agreement with the theory and previous experiment...

This paper uses a triadic experimental design to discriminate between actions motivated by preferences over the distribution of material outcomes and actions motivated by attributions of the intentions of others. Such discrimination is essential to empirical guidance for theory development because modeling intentions is quite different than modeling preferences. The triadic design includes the ...

We used an in vitro slice preparation of the lateral geniculate nucleus in cats and rats to study morphological correlates of triadic circuitry in relay cells. The three triadic elements involve a retinal synapse onto a GABAergic dendritic terminal of an interneuron, a synapse from the same retinal terminal onto a relay cell dendrite, and a synapse from the same interneuron terminal onto the sa...

The triad is one of the most basic human groups in social networks. Understanding factors affecting the formation of triads will help reveal the underlying mechanisms that govern the emergence and evolution of complex social networks. In this paper, we study an interesting problem of decoding triadic closure in social networks. Specifically, for a given closed triad (a group of three people who...

Despite large numbers of empirical studies are conducted on examiner patent citations, few have scrutinized the cognitive limitations of officials at patent offices in searching for prior art to add citations during patent prosecution. This research takes advantage of the longitudinal gap between International Search Reports (ISRs) required by the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) and subsequent ...

Conceptual knowledge is closely related to a deeper understanding of existing facts and relationships, but also to the argumentation and communication of why something happens in a particular way. Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) is the core of Conceptual Knowledge Processing. It emerged from applied mathematics and quickly developed into a powerful framework for knowledge representation. It is ba...

khunaji and his companions get influence from fakhr al-din razi and classified quantified propositions into two kinds: factual and external. abhari added the third kind which was named mental. tusi and his companions refuted khunaji’s viewpoint. analysis and explanation of the historical development of classification of predicative proposition into factual, external and mental is the problem of...
