The present study examines the different ways in which language structure marks individuation and cue early attention in a novel noun generalization task. Results in the present study extends the Boundary Shift Hypothesis, suggesting that the linguistic boundary between individuals and nonindividuals influences the perceptual boundaries and the correlational patterns formed overtime between ont...

To examine the development of pattern formation from the viewpoint of symmetry, we applied a two-dimensional discrete Walsh analysis to a one-dimensional cellular automata model under two types of regular initial conditions. The amount of symmetropy of cellular automata (CA) models under regular and random initial conditions corresponds to three Wolfram’s classes of CAs, identified as Classes I...

In this paper, we examine the problem of dynamic selfreconfiguration of a modular robotic system (frequently referred to as a self-reconfigurable or metamorphic system), to a formation aimed at reaching a specified target position as quickly as possible. We present a number of fast formations for both rectangular and hexagonal systems, and prove upper and lower bounds on the speed of locomotion...

The history of anthropology reflects a sometimes contentious dynamic between the study of unique cultural features and ones that are broadly shared across cultures, indeed so broadly shared that scholars have identified some as regularly recurring social formations. One aspect of the contention between these two areas of study is that the study of recurrent social formations has been marred by ...

This contribution determines suitable fingerprinting properties for sediment source discrimination within theAmrovan and Atary catchments in Semnan Province, Iran. These catchments are representative of a range of geology formations and should therefore provide a meaningful basis for a general assessment of the degree of sediment source discrimination afforded by a range of fingerprint properti...

A theorem of Eilenberg establishes that there exists a bi-jection between the set of all varieties of regular languages and the set of all varieties of finite monoids. In this article after defining, for a fixed set of sorts S and a fixed S-sorted signature Σ, the concepts of formation of congruences with respect to Σ and of formation of Σ-algebras, we prove that the algebraic lattices of all Σ...
