Olfaction was poignantly dubbed the ‘mute sense’ by Diane Ackerman [ 1. D. A Natural History of Senses. Vintage Books, 1990 Google Scholar ], and it is regularly claimed that modern ancient languages lack resources to communicate about smells 2. Bradley M. Smell Ancient Routledge, 2015 ]. In a recent article 3. Majid A. Human olfaction at intersection language, culture, biology. Trends Cogn. Sc...

Menurut pendapat Gagne (dalam Majid, 2007, hlm. 45) mengemukakan dua pola untuk menyusun dan mengatur berbagai fakta pembelajaran, yaitu: (1) Konsep, menghubungkan antara objek atau kejadian (2) Asas, kaidah, hukum. kemudian ketagori yang membahas materi ajar, Metode deduktif, Induktif. Jadi bila disimpulkan bahwa telah memberikan kisi-kisi tentang membuat ajar beserta metode pembelajaran agar ...

It was not long ago that behaviourism was almost a contemptuous epithet, if not a contretemps career epitaph, and few theorists wished to be mistaken for behaviourists. However, there has been a recent shift of alliances with the emergence of a new breed of researchers that openly advocate the incorporation of behaviourism into the study of consciousness. This critical essay is therefore devote...

We can determine ‘similarity’ of meaning typologically. If two particular meanings are often expressed by the same surface form (across a random sample of languages), then we can assume that the two meanings are ‘similar’ to the human mind. [. . . ] From ‘similarities’ it is a short step to maps of grammar/meaning space. We arrange different meanings on a map so that ‘similar’ meanings are clos...

Lie bialgebras occur as the principal objects in the infinitesimalisation of the theory of quantum groups—the semi-classical theory. Their relationship with the quantum theory has made available some new tools that we can apply to classical questions. In this paper, we study the simple complex Lie algebras using the double-bosonisation construction of Majid. This construction expresses algebrai...

It is well known [1, 2] that the Lorentz part of any quantum (or Poisson) Poincaré group is triangular. This is in fact a general feature, which excludes the standard q-deformation from the context of inhomogeneous quantum groups [3]. In order to make the standard q-deformation compatible with inhomogeneous groups one has to consider some generalization of the notion of quantum (Poisson) group,...

The characteristics of fully-developed, laminar, pressure-driven, incompressible flow in rough circular microchannels are studied. A novel analytical model is developed that predicts the increase in pressure drop due to wall roughness in microtubes. The wall roughness is assumed to posses a Gaussian isotropic distribution. The present model is compared with experimental data, collected by other...
