Like the branches, twigs and leaves of a tree, fractals repeat the same patterns across different scales. Snowflakes, lightning bolts and human blood vessels are also fractal structures, which all show a degree of self-similarity: As you zoom into the details of a fractal, you can see a re...
Mathematical laws are rigid and precise; their aim is to constrain and predict. A mathematical description leaves no leeway for interpretation or intuition. In contrast, the study of prerational intelligence confronts us with a host of notions for which we have an intuitive understanding, but ...

The majority of abstract visual reasoning tasks require the solver to reason about abstract patterns composed of primitive objects (e.g. squares, triangles, stars, etc.) with certain attributes (size, rotation, location, fill-in pattern, etc.). However, cognitive human studies have shown that ...

The radial organization of the leaves on the shoot of a plant; the basic patterns are spiral, alternating sides, opposite each other and whorled. Systems biology There is no single accepted definition for this idea. We define it as the attempt, using mathematical modelling, to examine the stru...
Based on geographical location and weather patterns, the movement of air varies (Jayas, 1995). For instance, in the Canadian prairies the stored grain starts cooling near the walls of a bin during fall and winter. However, the centre of grain bulk remains warm. The cool air near the bin...
and subjected them to controlled input signals to observe the component output. It was also possible to reuse several components within the SHM: the parasympathetic and the sympathetic system share a base class that only leaves the sign of the baroreceptor influence open for definition and the four...
The reader is cordially invited to play with this theory and see that it indeed explains the plot in Figure2, as well as beautiful phenomena such as rainbow patterns on soap bubbles [5]. We need a more accurate model for a more accurate and deeper explanation of the partial reflection of...
the fMRI connectivity analyses6revealed a difference in thebrain networksinvolved in the task for Chinese and English speakers. Two distinct patterns were observed in the functional networks: there was dorsal visuo-pathway dominance (through the parietal–occipital cortex) for the Chinese speakers, but...
