The handicap principle is a simple but powerful metaphor that has had a major impact on how biologists study and understand sexual selection. Here, I show that its application to signalling in sexual selection is not a valid generalization from its roots in economics. Although some signalling systems, with additive costs and benefits, have solutions that resemble sports handicaps, the signallin...

In this article, we analyze a corpus made up of two general French-Italian and Italian-French bilingual dictionaries multilingual dictionaries. We take into account, in particular, the macrostructure, microstructure, technical terminology phraseology these Using magnifying glass metaphorically, focus on treatment specialty language commerce within articles With regard to plurilingual dictionari...

There exists a variety of coloring problems for plane graphs, involving vertices, edges, and faces in all possible combinations. For instance, the entire graph we are to color these three sets so that any pair adjacent or incident elements get different colors. We study here some this type from algebraic perspective, focusing on facial variant. obtain several results concerning Alon–Tarsi numbe...

The Cover Feature depicts the possible Ni locations on MgAlOx/ZrO2 support and highlights superior DRM reaction performance of at heterointerfacial sites. catalytic behaviors across these diverse positions are metaphorically represented by thrust rockets brightness particles. In their Research Article, M. Montemore, O. Gazit co-worker demonstrate that heterointerface between a thin MgAlOx overl...

Leadership training needs a holistic, contemporary approach to meet the global workforce challenges of 21st century. Metaphorically, kaleidoscope can provide lens through which we view diversity positions on leadership training. Change evolves with each individual viewing lenses. An appreciation uniqueness students in problem solving necessity, moves from static fluid event and involves all con...

Abstract This study focuses on a discourse practice that metaphorically associates ISIS with an early Islamic sect known as the Kharijites. constructs calls back background knowledge and memory of historical narratives experiences create conceptual frames communicate meanings war atrocities. These were used by King Abdullah II Jordan to justify Jordan’s military participation against (circa 201...

We propose and discuss an open source real-time interface that focuses in the vast potential for interactive sound art creation emerging from biological neural networks, as paradigmatic complex systems for musical exploration. In particular, we focus on networks that are responsible for the generation of rhythmic patterns.The interface relies upon the idea of relating metaphorically neural beha...

In this article, I first propose to reinterpret R. T. Craig’s (1999) call for a dialogue between communication perspectives as a formulation of design specs to which any constitutive model of communication should respond. I then propose to answer this call by metaphorically conceiving of communication as a form of ventriloquism, which translates our capacity to make other beings say or do thing...

Event-related brain potentials (ERPs) were recorded from 18 normal adults as they read sentences that ended with words used literally, metaphorically, or in an intermediate literal mapping condition. In the latter condition, the literal sense of the word was used in a way that prompted readers to map conceptual structure from a different domain. ERPs measured from 300 to 500 msec after the onse...

Interference and inhibition processes as discussed by Dempster and Corkill (1999) are useful on two levels: first, metaphorically in terms of general themes for educational psychology, and, second, in terms of psychological mechanisms for understanding learning. At the same time, there are a number of issues that must be addressed in future theory and research before interference and inhibition...
