This paper introduces the class of reflected number systems. Members of this class have the adjacency property, i.e. representations for consecutive numbers differ in only one digit and the magnitude of this difference is one. It shows that every number system based on a positional weighting scheme has a reflected analogue. It presents procedures to convert a number system to its reflected anal...

This article describes the path-mapping theory of how humans integrate analogical mapping and general problem solving. The theory posits that humans represent analogs with declarative roles, map analogs by lower-level retrieval of analogous role paths, and coordinate mappings with higher-level organizational knowledge. Implemented in the ACT-R cognitive architecture, the path-mapping theory all...

Previous metaphor studies have paid much attention to nominal and predicative metaphors and little attention has been given to adjective metaphors. Although some studies have focused on adjective metaphors, they have only examined how the acceptability of adjective metaphors can be explained by the pairing of adjective modifier’s and head noun’s modalities and little attention has been given to...

This article discusses the difficulties that arose when attempting to specify and design a large scale digital learning environment for Scottish schools. This had a potential user base of about 1 million users and was intended to replace an existing, under-used system. We found that the potential system users were not interested in engaging with the project and that there were immense problems ...

Introduction Geologic mapping of planetary surfaces provides information on the nature, sequence, and distribution of material units, from which one can assemble a geologic history [1]. With this goal in mind, the Galileo SSI camera acquired an important dataset of images of Europa at a resolution suitable for geologic reconnaissance and mapping. We performed mapping and analysis of pole-to-pol...

This paper contains the motivation for the study of critical surfaces in [2]. In that paper, the only justification given for the definition of this new class of surfaces is the strength of the results. However, when viewed as the topological analogue to index 2 minimal surfaces, critical surfaces become quite natural.

We introduce the Responsive Room, an interactive, ambient environment designed to augment spoken language with light and auditory cues by analyzing patterns in spoken speech. This paper focuses primarily on the use of the Responsive Room for storytelling. To this end we constructed a scripted, theatrical sequence that explores the relationship between story telling, color and sound. We also ana...

the present article is an attempt to review the syrian short storyfrom the period between 1931 to 1947 and its development. syrian short stories in this period are affected by cultural, political and historical events.
