Over the past five years, cartographic practices have been profoundly renewed and have mainly been concentrated within large metropolises, where maps are usually found in the subway, in the street (street furniture) or in paperback city guides. ese maps are now available on the Internet and by extension on mobile phones, accompanying individuals as they move from place to place. Augmented by m...

This chapter claims that analogy-making, in particular the structural mapping ability is a very basic mechanism in human cognition and thus, it is also a basic mechanism for anticipation. A number of various everyday situations are analyzed that involve anticipation by analogy. Then the role of analogy is discussed in computational term to analyze why using analogy ensures flexible behavior and...

Analogy researchers do not often examine gesture, and gesture researchers do not often borrow ideas from the study of analogy. One borrowable idea from the world of analogy is the importance of distinguishing between attributes and relations. Gentner (, ) observed that some metaphors highlight attributes and others highlight relations, and called the latter analogies. Mirroring this logic, we o...

Analogy is an inductive mechanism based on structured comparisons of mental representations. It is an important special case of role-based relational reasoning, in which inferences are generated on the basis of patterns of relational roles. Analogical reasoning is a complex process involving retrieval of structured knowledge from long-term memory, representing and manipulating role-filler bindi...

This paper shows that an integrable approximation of the spring pendulum, when tuned to be in 1 : 1 : 2 resonance, has monodromy. The stepwise precession angle of the swing plane of the resonant spring pendulum is shown to be a rotation number of the integrable approximation. Due to the monodromy, this rotation number is not a globally defined function of the integrals. In fact at lowest order ...

The facility layout problem is concerned with finding the most efficient arrangement of a given number of departments with unequal area requirements within a facility. The facility layout problem is a hard problem, and therefore, exact solution methods are only feasible for small or greatly restricted problems. In this paper, we propose a spring-embedding approach that unlike previous approache...
