Structure-mapping theory asserts that analogical comparison involves a process of structural alignment based on finding common relational structure (Gentner, 1983). During this process, correspondences are established between the aligned components of the analogs—both relations and objects. In the present experiment, we show that this alignment process is strikingly more efficient when the "cor...

This paper is related to comparison of two switching techniques that can be applied to asymmetric bridge converter driven switched reluctance machine. Switched reluctance motor operation principles are discussed. Theoretical circuit operation description and Matlab simulation software are used for switching technique comparison. After analysis shows that modification of switching technique have...

social comparison is important as it can be either encouraging or discouraging for the person who makes it. although studies concerning social comparison in the classroom context abound, few deal with the relationship between the role of social comparison orientation and tendencies in academic achievement in a competition based educational context. adopting a non- experimental ex-post facto des...

Kittur et al. (2004, 2006) and Jung and Hummel (2011, 2014) showed that people have great difficulty learning relation-based categories with a probabilistic (i.e., family resemblance) structure, in which no single relation is shared by all members of a category. Yet acquisition of such categories is not strictly impossible: in all these studies, roughly half the participants eventually learned ...

This document is complementary to our ICIP 2015 paper titled " A Fast Method for Inferring High-Quality Simply-Connected Superpixels ". It contains additional examples for a visual comparison between the different methods.
