In exploring large volumes of information, more often than not, one single visualization is not sufficient for grasping the whole data set. This may be due to different reasons: the screen real-estate is limited, the user’s capacity for comprehending a large data set also has limits, different views or perspectives of the same data may be needed to grasp all the details, and so on. Multiple vis...

We propose that metaphor is a mechanism by which motivational states in one conceptual domain can influence attitudes in a superficially unrelated domain. Two studies tested whether activating motives related to the self-concept influences attitudes toward social topics when the topics' metaphoric association to the motives is made salient through linguistic framing. In Study 1, heightened moti...

This paper describes a system for representing knowledge about conventional metaphors for use by natural language analysis, generation and acquisition systems. A system of hierarchically related structured associations is used. These associations are implemented as a part of the KODIAK representation language. Particular attention is paid in this paper to representational mechanisms that can ca...

In this paper we discuss the mechanisms that have been used to deal with the dynamic nature of data in the CyberNet project. The purpose of this project is to study how three-dimensional (3D) metaphoric visualization may help the user in the process of monitoring large amounts of dynamic information. We present the dynamic data model and the visualization model and then focus on the problem of ...

The product of formal innovation has become a strategy in itself, and because the design development with technical dimension feature human life, so concerned institutions have been referring to this through architecture, including interior spaces it contains, especially at level all materials raw materials.Therefore, recent years phenomenon emerged that is characterized by new techniques, as d...

Referential qualities are qualities of an entity taken with reference to another entity. For example the vulnerability of a coast to sea level rise. In contrast to most non-relational qualities which only depend on their host, referential qualities require a referent additional to their host, i.e. a quality Q of an entity X taken with reference to another entity R. These qualities occur frequen...
