Leaping across the mental canyon: Analogical retrieval across disparate task domains

The present study provides evidence for far analogical retrieval, i.e., analogical retrieval across disparate task domains, as a result of analogical comparison. Participants read source stories, which were then retrieved after a filled delay through abstract letter-string cues that matched the relational form of key parts of stories. They then generated responses to an ambiguous letter-string ...

$S$-Leaping: An adaptive, accelerated stochastic simulation algorithm, bridging $\tau$-leaping and $R$-leaping

We propose the S-leaping algorithm for the acceleration of Gillespie’s stochastic simulation algorithm that combines the advantages of the two main accelerated methods; the τ -leaping and R-leaping algorithms. These algorithms are known to be efficient under different conditions; the τ -leaping is efficient for non-stiff systems or systems with partial equilibrium, while the R-leaping performs ...

the effect of taftan pozzolan on the compressive strength of concrete in the environmental conditions of oman sea (chabahar port)

cement is an essential ingredient in the concrete buildings. for production of cement considerable amount of fossil fuel and electrical energy is consumed. on the other hand for generating one tone of portland cement, nearly one ton of carbon dioxide is released. it shows that 7 percent of the total released carbon dioxide in the world relates to the cement industry. considering ecological issu...

“Doing Time” Across the Centuries: Early influences on Twentieth Century Prison Narratives

Four Centuries of Climatic Variation across the Tibetan Plateau from Ice- Core Accumulation and 80 Records

The Tibetan Plateau is an important component of the South Asian Monsoon system, but there are relatively few long, high-resolution records of precipitation and temperature variability from the Plateau itself. Only recently has it been recognized that the distribution and the chemistry of the precipitation across this large, elevated landmass is not unifonn (AraguasAraguas et al. , 1999; Tian e...
