Two characteristics of cognitive science are central and obvious. First, it is cognitive, aiming toward empirical and theoretical understanding of cognition. Its founding disciplines addressed intelligence in humans (cognitive psychology) and computers (artificial intelligence), with special scrutiny given to language as a paradigmatic domain of human competence (linguistics). Over time, the un...

Proteins share similar segments with one another. Such "reused parts"-which have been successfully incorporated into other proteins-are likely to offer an evolutionary advantage over de novo evolved segments, as most of the latter will not even have the capacity to fold. To systematically explore the evolutionary traces of segment "reuse" across proteins, we developed an automated methodology t...

This paper analyzes English symmetrical predicates such as collide and match. Its point of departure is an analysis of the concept 'similar' from Tversky (1977) that appears to show that similarity is psychologically asymmetrical. One basis for this claim from Tversky is that the sentences North Korea is similar to Red China and Red China is similar to North Korea are assessed as differing in m...

Generalized frames are an extension of frames in Hilbert  spaces and  Hilbert $C^*$-modules. In this paper, the concept ''Similar" for modular $g$-frames is introduced and all of operator duals (ordinary duals) of similar $g$-frames with respect to each other are characterized. Also, an operator dual of a given $g$-frame is studied where $g$-frame is constructed by a primary $g$-frame and an or...

Background and Objective: Parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have valuable experiences of the possible developmental problems and other issues of their children as the primary caregivers. The present study aimed to obtain proper information by considering these experiences using a qualitative approach to explain the parents’ perception of problems in their children with ASD...
