Analogy - Identity of relation. In ancient Greek the word αναλογια (analogia) originally meant proportionality, in the mathematical sense, and it was indeed sometimes translated to Latin as proportio. From there analogy was understood as identity of relation between any two ordered pairs, whether of mathematical nature or not. Kant's Critique of Judgment held to this notion. Kant argued that there can be exactly the same relation between two completely different objects. ...

For analog signals, which can be mathematically viewed as a function of time, bandwidth is the width, measured in hertz, of a frequency range in which the signal's Fourier transform is nonzero. This definition can be relaxed wherein bandwidth would be the range of frequencies that the signal's Fourier transform has a power above a certain threshold, say 3 dB within the maximum value, in the frequency domain. Intuitively, bandwidth of a signal is a measure of how rapidly it fluctuates with respect to time. Hence, the greater the bandwi ...

If we accept that the basic ethical purpose of Karma is to behave responsibly, and that the tenet of Karma may be simply stated 'if you do good things, good things will happen to you - if you do bad things, bad things will happen to you', then it is possible for us to identify analogs with other religions that do not rely on Karma as a metaphysical assertion or doctrine. Karma does not specifically concern itself with salvation - it is just as important within a basic socio-ethical stance. However, as a mechanic, Karma can be identifi ...

For example, in point-area and point-volume flows, constructal theory predicts tree architectures, such flows have displaying at least two regimes: one highly resistive and a less resisitive one, and it can be applied at any scale: from macroscopic to microscopic systems. The main principle of the constructal theory is that every system is destined to remain imperfect. According to this, the best that can be done is to optimally distribute the imperfections of the system, and this optimal distribution of imperfection will gene ...
