A metric approach to olfactory space

A Hilbert Space Approach to Effective Resistance Metric

A resistance network is a connected graph (G, c). The conductance function cxy weights the edges, which are then interpreted as conductors of possibly varying strengths. The Dirichlet energy form E produces a Hilbert space structure (which we call the energy space HE) on the space of functions of finite energy. We use the reproducing kernel {vx} constructed in [JP09b] to analyze the effective r...

Participatory Design; A New Approach to Regenerate the Public Space

The following study aims to present an innovative approach for Design. Participatory Design is the model of direct involvement of different social groups in the design from functional tools to environments, social institutions and businesses. Diverse collection of practices has been developed to support this direct involvement by Participatory Design. People are invited to participate during di...

Similarity Search - The Metric Space Approach

non-corrective approach to pronunciation

the aim of this study has been to find answers for the following questions: 1. what is the effect of immediate correction on students pronunciation errors? 2. what would be the effect of teaching the more rgular patterns of english pronunciation? 3. is there any significant difference between the two methods of dealing with pronuciation errore, i. e., correction and the teaching of the regular ...

Dynamical distance as a semi-metric on nuclear conguration space

In this paper, we introduce the concept of dynamical distance on a nuclear conguration space. We partition the nuclear conguration space into disjoint classes. This classification coincides with the classical partitioning of molecular systems via the concept of conjugacy of dynamical systems. It gives a quantitative criterion to distinguish dierent molecular structures.
