Traditionally, thematic relatedness (chicken and egg) and similarity (chicken and turkey) have been thought of as distinct phenomena, the former the result of associative processes, and the latter reflecting comparison processes . However, recent studies (Bassok & Medin, 1996 ; Wisniewski & Bassok, 1996) suggest that similarity is a result of both association and comparison . This could call fo...

A neurally-inspired visual object recognition system is described called SEEMORE, whose goal is to identify common objects from a large known set-independent of 3-D viewiag angle, distance, and non-rigid distortion. SEEMORE's database consists of 100 objects that are rigid (shovel), non-rigid (telephone cord), articulated (book), statistical (shrubbery), and complex (photographs of scenes). Rec...

pattern has been devised :? An empty ghi tin is placed upright and cut across the top medially. A similar cut is made parallel across the front of the tin about three inches from the bottom and the cut extended up each side to meet the top cut, the part removed being shaped like a banker's shovel. A modified pattern is made by cutting perpendicularly through the top to within three inches of th...

Abstract Many organisms live in the soil but only a little is known about their ecology especially movement style. Scarab beetle larvae do not have appendages to shovel and trunk thick compared body length. Hence, through perplexing. Here, we established observation analysis system of larval found that last instars Trypoxylus dichotomus burrow two different ways, depending on hardness soil. If ...

Anchorage-dependent cells growing over a substratum require stable adhesion areas on the surface for the next cellular activities. The adhesion is achieved by some contact points called focal adhesions. Because focal adhesions were distributed randomly, a trial to control the positions of focal adhesion with a specific order may cause interesting effects like as cytoskeleton rearrangement, whic...
