Analogy for Appalachia
What follows is a relatively concise attempt at ordering a series of abstracted and formalized vernacular elements within a cohesive whole. A lodge and series of cabins located in Pulaski, Virginia are used as a vehicle for pursuing this exploration.

Analogy M. F. A. Thesis
… a matrix, and we can not see the true world? Analogy in definition is a resemblance and comparison between two things. This research focuses mainly on alternative perspectives through which my body of work could be analyzed and interpreted based on perception of the viewer. This research …

Morphology, analogy and machine translation
… thatcrucially hinges on the notion of linguistic Analogy, as an effective, formal procedure forextending linguistic generalizations from known cases to unknown ones. Within thisframework the set of morphological rules and the Lexicon are not implemented asseparate grammatical compartments, as in …

Feature extraction via heat flow analogy
… this thesis, we investigate the heat flow analogy, which is a physics based analogy, both for low-level and high-level feature extraction. Three different contributions to feature extraction, based on using the heat conduction analogy, are presented in this thesis. The solution of the heat …

The development of the hydraulic analogy
… results can be obtained by using the hydraulic analogy. The analogy can be used in either the subsonic, transonic or supersonic range. The theory was intended to be general and showed that an exact analogy exists between free surface water flow and two dimensional gas flow. By theoretical …

Order through analogy: a music school
This project represents a continuous search for an understanding of order and totality in architecture. Through consideration of the ideas inherent in music and in mathematics, I realized order in architecture is not only enriching to the project but critically necessary. The task then became to …

Image segmentation based on water flow analogy
Segmenting objects with complex shapes, like segmenting vessels in iridology and detecting roads in remote sensing, is of practical significance in image analysis. Region growing and snakes are the main methods used in the field, but the former cannot yield an exact result whilst the latter has …

Analogy matching with function, flow and performance
… that has been shown be effective. The Design Analogy Performance Parameter System (DAPPS) project presented here is developing a method to aid in analogy generation by specifying a set of critical functions and desired design performance improvements. DAPPS uses performance parameter metrics …

The utility of analogy in systems sciences
… main areas of investigation. The legitimacy of analogy as a systems concept, the derivation of a model of analogy for systems thinkers and the description of a framework for practice. In the first section we are concerned with establishing an appreciation and understanding of the potential …

Risk based analogy for e-business estimation
… The key objective is to modify the estimation by analogy approach by using risk as the key element that along with project size and complexity are used to identify analogues and determine analogies amongst projects.<br/> The author established the behaviour of risk with the variation of certain …

Atheism and Analogy: Aquinas Against the Atheists
… for how humans may speak of God - either by the analogy of proportion or by the analogy of proportionality. Aquinas's doctrines initiated a theological debate concerning analogy that spanned several centuries. In the 18th century, there appeared two closely related arguments for atheism which …

A membrane analogy for investigating compressible flow
Results are shown on page 47 in a table.

An analysis of shells by a framework analogy
The lattice analogy for plates is extended to shells. The analogous structure is a space frame composed of pin jointed members which represent the shell and stiff jointed members which represent edge beams or stiffening ribs. It is analyzed by the displacement method. Effects due to foundation …

Analogy-based software project effort estimation. Contributions to projects similarity measurement, attribute selection and attribute weighting algorithms for analogy-based effort estimation.
Software effort estimation by analogy is a viable alternative method to other estimation techniques, and in many cases, researchers found it outperformed other estimation methods in terms of accuracy and practitioners¿ acceptance. However, the overall performance of analogy based estimation depends …

Application of the Hydraulic Analogy to Internal Subsonic Flow
… the quantitative accuracy of the hydraulic analogy when applied to subsonic internal flows such as exist in pure fluid elements. The study included a literature survey, an analytical investigation of the hydraulic analogy, and an experimental test program to measure the degree of correlation …

An articulated skeletal analogy of the human upper-limb
