We present a cognitive model that bridges work in analogy and category learning. The model, Building Relations through Instance Driven Gradient Error Shifting (BRIDGES), extends ALCOVE, an exemplar-based connectionist model of human category learning (Kruschke, 1992). Unlike ALCOVE which is limited to featural or spatial representations, BRIDGES can appreciate analogical relationships between s...

Ultrasonic propagation velocity across wood fiber direction was measured in wooden bridges in order to investigate the possibility of nondestructive deterioration diagnosis of wooden bridges. The measurements were carried out for three different types of wooden bridges. The periodical measurement was also made for one of them to investigate its secular change. The results were : (1) The histogr...

Rehabilitation of patients having deep bite are restored either with tooth supported fixed prosthesis, implants prosthesis or by a combination both. Implant retained bridges range from limited span to complete arch for dentulous and edentulous jaws. The desire achieve expected results has in the long-run involved several issues concerning materials, techniques anchorages used. In respect types ...

Wide-band switches and true-time delay (TTD) phase shifters have been developed using distributed microelectromechanical system (MEMS) transmission lines for applications in phased-array and communication systems. The design consists of a coplanar waveguide (CPW) transmission line (W = G = 100 m) fabricated on a 500m quartz substrate with fixed–fixed beam MEMS bridge capacitors placed periodica...

BACKGROUND Prosthetic rehabilitation with implant-supported prostheses in the atrophic edentulous maxilla often requires a bone augmentation procedure to enable implant placement and integration. However, a rigid anchorage can also be achieved by using so-called zygomatic implants placed in the zygomatic arch in combination with regular implants placed in residual bone. PURPOSE The aim of the...

We have examined extended structures, bridges and arches, in computer generated, nonsequentially stabilized, hard sphere deposits. The bridges and arches have well defined distributions of sizes and shapes. The distribution functions reflect the contraints associated with hard particle packing and the details of the restructuring process. A subpopulation of string-like bridges has been identifi...

displacement coefficient method (dcm) stipulated in the asce 41-06 standard is becoming the preferred method for seismic rehabilitation of buildings in many high-seismic-hazard countries. applications of the method for non-building constructions such as bridges are beyond the scope of this standard. thus its application to this kind of structure should be approached with care. target displaceme...

D uring the past decade, there has been a burgeoning interest in the role of religiosity in family functioning and child and adolescent adjustment (e.g., bridges & moore, 2002; mahoney, Pargament, swank, & Tarakeshwar, 2001) and as a resource for adults coping with stress (Pargament, 1997, 2007). The focus of this chapter is on the role of religiosity across the life span in predicting adulthoo...

We calculate improved lower bounds for the connective constants for selfavoiding walks on the square, hexagonal, triangular, (4.8), and (3.12) lattices. The bound is found by Kesten’s method of irreducible bridges. This involves using transfermatrix techniques to exactly enumerate the number of bridges of a given span to very many steps. Upper bounds are obtained from recent exact enumeration d...
