The World Wide Web has become purely a hypermedia system these days. Numerous organizations have developed number of commercial and educational Web applications. The development of good quality applications has a high cost, mostly in time and amount of difficulty involved for the developers. On applying measurement techniques to measure the quality of applications and their development process,...

purpose: the cognitive domains are assessed by cognitive tests and these assessments are different between man and woman in every test, this study assessed brain function by cognitive domains among men and women. methods : a cross-sectional study was done on a sample of 15 to 75 years old of 80 female and 80 male. all participants did neuro-cognitive computer battery (nccb) after training and c...

This study examines how analogy affects problem-solving in ideation phase of design among architects and engineers. For this purpose, a design problem was given to master and Ph.D. students of engineering and architecture. They were given two optional analogy sources to choose and be inspired by one. From the analysis of design sessions, using different coding groups and the application of the ...

Image analogies is a framework for processing images by example. Image analogies uses training data A and A′ in order to learn a filter that can be applied to an unfiltered target image B to produce an analogous image B′. This means that B′ relates to B the same way A′ relates to A. The framework is general and can be applied to many different applications. Typical applications for image analog...

Please cite this article in press as: Richland, L. E. tional Psychology (2009), doi:10.1016/j.cedpsych The ability to successfully discriminate between multiple potentially relevant source analogs when solving new problems is crucial to proficiency in a mathematics domain. Experimental findings in two different mathematical contexts demonstrate that providing cues to support comparative reasoni...

Abstract This Article puts forward a novel analogy between animal welfare law and international humanitarian law—two seemingly unrelated bodies of that are both marked by the aporia humanizing inhumane. Through comparative lens laws war peace, this argues existing is best understood as kind warfare regulates violent activities within an ongoing “war on animals.” It further submits needs to be c...

The biological properties of proteins are often gleaned through comparative analysis of evolutionary relatives. Although protein structure similarity search methods detect more distant homologs than purely sequence-based methods, structural resemblance can result from either homology (common ancestry) or analogy (similarity without common ancestry). While many existing web servers detect struct...

Conceptual analogy (CA) is an approach, that integrates conceptualization based on prior experiences, i.e. case memory organization, and analogical reasoning (Borner and Janetzko 1995, Borner and Wode 1995). It was prototypically implemented and tested to support the design process in building engineering (B orner 1994a). This paper reviews the development of CA. It provides the basic assump...
