Abstract This paper proposes a framework for representing in Bayesian terms the idea that analogical arguments of various degrees strength may provide inductive support to yet untested scientific hypotheses. On this account, contextual information plays crucial role determining whether, and what extent, given similarity or dissimilarity between source target confirm an empirical hypothesis over...

purpose: the cognitive domains are assessed by cognitive tests and these assessments are different between man and woman in every test, this study assessed brain function by cognitive domains among men and women. methods : a cross-sectional study was done on a sample of 15 to 75 years old of 80 female and 80 male. all participants did neuro-cognitive computer battery (nccb) after training and c...

The decompositions of the skin-friction and heat transfer coefficients based on two-fold repeated integration in hypersonic transitional turbulent boundary layers are analyzed to explain generations wall skin friction transfer. Reynolds analogy factor slightly increases as temperature decreases, especially for extremely cooled wall. integral analysis is applied overshoot behaviours layers. coef...

This study examines how analogy affects problem-solving in ideation phase of design among architects and engineers. For this purpose, a design problem was given to master and Ph.D. students of engineering and architecture. They were given two optional analogy sources to choose and be inspired by one. From the analysis of design sessions, using different coding groups and the application of the ...

Image analogies is a framework for processing images by example. Image analogies uses training data A and A′ in order to learn a filter that can be applied to an unfiltered target image B to produce an analogous image B′. This means that B′ relates to B the same way A′ relates to A. The framework is general and can be applied to many different applications. Typical applications for image analog...

Objectives: This questionnaire study compared the patterns of reported coping strategies of women high and low in perceived control over hot flushes. Method: A volunteer sample of 38 women fully completed a postal questionnaire. Perceived control was measured by a standardised scale (Reynolds 1997a) and respondents provided qualitative accounts of coping. Results: Consonant with previous findin...
