Abstract: It is difficult to weigh the light objects by weighing balance accurately when measured individually. If several light objects are weighed in groups rather than individually then the precision of the estimates increases quite considerably. There are two types of balances one is chemical balance and other is spring balance. Spring balance is similar when only one pan of chemical balanc...

We would like to welcome our readers to the twenty-eighth issue of 49 th Parallel and our second of 2012. In the last few months there have been some exciting developments at the journal and we hope that 49 th Parallel will continue to flourish in the future. We would like to welcome our new Articles Editor, Galateia Demetriou, to the 49 th Parallel team. Galateia is a second year doctoral rese...

THE RESPONSE of hitherto known practical forms of seismographs depends upon the relative motion of a pendulum and the moving ground to which ~ts supporting structure is fastened. The various kinds of seismographs differ in the type of pendulum used, such as gravity, spring, torsion, and/or they differ in the type of magnifying and recording elements which they employ. They all measure or indica...

Beijing’s mountainous areas have an important ecological significance because they are ecological conservation and water source protection areas of Beijing. The impact of precipitation on the vegetation coverage of Beijing’s mountainous areas is qualitatively analyzed using multi-temporal Landsat images obtained during the last 20 years. Firstly, the influence of external factors, such as pheno...

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...

The scalar mediation of the object through the space of representation ensures design methodologies based on similitude or procedural techniques must initially work upon appropriated forms. Given that translation ensures that these forms remain as a trace the architectural object is implicitly reliant on the application of analogy. While still bound to the act of drawing in, on or through the d...

Cognitive ability in solving analogy problems really needs the right information processing. The core cognitive process thinking occurs when students make a mapping between target problem and source problem. This research aims to describe analogical indirect based on processing theory. method usesd this is qualitative descriptive. subject study were third fifth-semester of Mathematics Tadris Pr...
