The present study compares two cases of blending between episodes: blending of episodes that share a number of elements (superficially similar episodes) and blending of episodes that share the same structure of relations but do not share the same elements. According to classic theories and models of blending, superficially similar episodes are more likely to be blended because there is a larger...

Abstract The conclusion of the McKinsey paradox is that certain contingent claims about external world are knowable a priori. Almost all literature on assumes this unacceptable, and focuses finding way avoiding it. However, there no consensus any these responses work. In paper I take different approach, arguing acceptable. First, develop our understanding what Evans calls merely superficially p...

OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study were to assess demineralized dentin porosity and quantify the different porous features distribution within the material using mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) technique. We compared hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) drying and lyophilization (LYO) (freeze-drying) in sample preparation. METHODS Fifty-six dentin discs were assigned into three groups. The co...

This paper presents a series of simulation experiments related to the interaction of memory and analogy-making in the AMBR model. This interaction makes it possible to demonstrate blending between superficially dissimilar episodes as a result of the established analogical mapping between them and of superficially and structurally dissimilar episodes as a result of a double analogy with a third ...

The study of N-linked glycans is among the most challenging bioanalytical tasks because of their complexity and variety. The presence of glycoform families that differ only in branching and/or linkage position makes the identification and quantitation of individual glycans exceedingly difficult. Quantitation of these individual glycans is important because changes in the abundance of these isom...

Preservation of the skin envelope and the inframammary fold is the main factor in achieving breast symmetry in unilateral reconstruction. Skin sparing mastectomy (SSM) type-IV followed by immediate autologous reconstruction and contralateral symmetrization permits realizing this goal in large, ptotic breasted patients, and tumor superficially located in the inferior quadrants. If the tumor is s...

in this paper wave transformation in a submerged sloped breakwater and its hydraulic performance was simulated by developing a numerical model in fortran. the code was established by combining porous flow and a two-phase model using vof method. modified navier-stokes and k-ε equations implemented to the model to simulate the flow in porous media. cut cell method was modified to simulate fluid t...
