It is shown that the set of equations known as “Maxwell’s equations” perfectly describe two very different systems: (1) the usual electromagnetic phenomena in vacuum or in the matter and (2) the deformation of isotropic solid lattices, containing topological defects as dislocations and disclinations, in the case of constant and homogenous expansion. The analogy between these two physical system...

The diversity of meanings or applications “wellbeing” fuel a discussion about its context-dependence not. This article will first introduce this discussion. Next, it present the classical logical notion analogy considering as possible answer to After that, Section 3 apply wellbeing and suggest “primary meaning”. Finally, short conclusion follow.

Using the accepted methods to extract natural system behavior from the Einstein-Hilbert gravitational field tensor equation, a new coordinate transformation is analyzed. It is demonstrated that these extraction methods yield specific contradictions. Two such contradictions are that for an electrically neutral (nonrotating) Schwarzschild configuration there is an infinite redshift surface that i...

In the present research, we argue for the robustness of illusory correlations (ICs, Hamilton & Gifford, 1976) regarding two boundary conditions suggested in previous research. First, we argue that ICs are maintained under extended experience. Using simulations, we derive conflicting predictions. Whereas noise-based accounts predict ICs to be maintained (Fielder, 2000; Smith, 1991), a prominent ...

We present a new application of the Image Analogies algorithm to be used for image segmentation. Our approach requires supervised training data, so we apply it to the domain of labeling human anatomical data. In the Visible Human Project, expert anatomists are overwhelmed with high-resolution images to analyze. We propose that the anatomist can work in conjunction with our approach, letting the...

the aim of this study was to compare the performance of analogy (implicit),explicit and discovery learning in the retention and transfer of a topspin shot underpsychological pressure. for this purpose, 36 volunteer high school students wererandomly allocated to three treatment conditions: explicit, analogy, and discoverylearning. after performing 300 trials in the acquisition phase, an immediat...

In his comment, Heikkila (1998) raises a number of objections to the concept of time-varying magnetic reconnection, and magnetic reconnection in general, which was obviously the basis of our paper on the longitudinal extent of magnetopause reconnection pulses (Lockwood and Davis, 1996). These objections are invalid. Much of the problem arises because Heikkila relies heavily on a simple electric...
