An alternative to Kitcher's theory of conceptual progress and his account of the change of the gene concept [PDF]
, 2004 The present paper discusses Kitcher’s framework for studying conceptual change and progress. Kitcher’s core notion of reference potential is hard to apply to concrete cases.

Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy in Bionanotechnology: Current Advances and Future Perspectives
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) enables the nanoscale mapping of electrostatic surface potentials. While widely applied in materials science, its use in biological systems remains emerging. This review presents recent advances in KPFM applied to biological samples and provides a critical perspective on current limitations and future directions for

Distinct Functional Network Connectivity for Abstract and Concrete Mental Imagery
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2018 In several behavioral psycholinguistic studies, it has been shown that concrete words are processed more efficiently. They can be remembered faster, recognized better, and can be learned easier than abstract words. This fact is called concreteness effect.

Embodiment of Concrete and Abstract Concepts
, 2023 The present thesis focuses on speakers’ gesture and aims to investigate the relationship between gesture and concrete and abstract concepts—within the embodied view of meaning. Chapter 2 clarifies the motivation and main research question of the current thesis, that is, to what extent the grounding of abstract concepts is similar to or different from

Equating CONTROL with ‘containment’: justifying the equation via animal Farm [PDF]
, 2004 Unless they are expressed in more concrete manners, concepts, which are abstract in nature, are rather difficult to be appreciated. Thus, concepts such as CONTROL, are normally expressed using more concrete means, such as through the hierarchical and the

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) using MgO tunnel barriers face challenges of high resistance‐area product and low tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR). To discover alternative materials, Literature Enhanced Ab initio Discovery (LEAD) is developed. The LEAD‐predicted materials are theoretically evaluated, showing that MTJs with dusting of ScN or TiN on ...

Liquids as Reinforcements for Anisotropic and Tough Soft Matter Composites
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Liquid metal droplets are shaped and oriented within soft elastomers to create all‐soft matter composites with programmable mechanical anisotropy. These liquid inclusions act as fiber‐like reinforcements, enabling directional stiffness, enhanced toughness, and controlled crack steering under extreme deformation, offering new routes to resilient soft ...

The body and the fading away of abstract concepts and words: a sign language analysis
Frontiers in Psychology, 2014 One of the most important challenges for embodied and grounded theories of cognition concerns the representation of abstract concepts, such as freedom. Many embodied theories of abstract concepts have been proposed. Some proposals stress the similarities
