Sensor network localization based on natural phenomena
… by analyzing sound and light sensory data from naturally occurring background phenomena as well as synthesized emulations of background transients. Our approach has two main phases: passive and active. The system enters an active mode when, its sensed region stays relatively silent and stable, …

Adaptive robotic search and sampling of sparse natural phenomena
… maps of easily observable and widely dispersed phenomena such a temperature, salinity or tree coverage. However underwater and planetary science can often involve phenomena that are ‘expensive’ to observe, discrete, and sparsely distributed. For example, coral disease can only be visually …

Natural phenomena and the senses : linking memory and corporeal experience
… exists as an exchange between our memory and natural phenomena in a place over time. These place specific phenomena are filtered by our senses of touch, taste, smell, hearing, sight and balance before becoming part of our memory. It is the task of the architect to create place that heightens …

‘A Continual Song Out of Merely Being Here’: Environment and Interiority in Some Contemporary British Poetry and Natural Phenomena
… discern the impact of the research undertaken. Natural Phenomena, the creative portion of this PhD thesis, is a collection of poems responding to the sub/urban locale and to the conceptualizations of ‘nature’ and interiority encountered during the course of study.

Gardening the elements in a landscape of technology
… to enhance the intimacy of our experiences with natural phenomena. Each of these interactive sculptures is inspired by my encounters with common natural phenomena. The form, materials and choice of technology which comprise these environmental sculptures are guided by the quality of sensory …

A Revelatory Landscape: Wind through the Senses
… mechanized and engineered, detaching us from the natural processes and the natural phenomena that make up our interesting world. However, because of the landscape's potential for communication and demonstration, it is a critical time for landscape architects to use the landscape, highlighting the …

Reveries of a walk: Architectonics and an Attunement to Nature
… the power to reveal the essence of nature and natural phenomena. It can also become a catalyst to help us understand nature and attain a deeper connection with it and ourselves. Through derived forms and attention to details, architects can capture the essence of nature without direct …

A bioclimatic approach to integrated design : form, technology, and architectural knowledge
… elements can engage the dynamic forces of natural phenomena and integrate the spatial and temporal experience of building form with its physical environment. The framework for this exploration is a contextual mapping of dynamical systems and complexity theory to the processes of …

The Best of the Wreck
… nature of relationships, family history, and natural phenomena, as well as the extent to which these cycles shape the trajectory of one’s life. Surrealism becomes a means of control, as it allows the speakers of these poems to transform their surroundings through imaginative perception. This …

Voltage Controlled Non-Volatile Spin State and Conductance Switching of a Molecular Thin Film Heterostructure
… a push into the limits of harnessable natural phenomena to facilitate a post-Moore’s era of design. Requirements for thermodynamic stability at room temperature, fast (Ghz) switching, and low energy cost narrow the list of candidates. Here we show voltage controllable, room temperature, …

Structure & Simulation: Growth and Evolution in Generative Music
… that are structured around simulations of natural phenomena. The relationship between simulation and music composition is considered and found to be a likely site of high creative potential due to both domains’ concern with process and becoming as opposed to static artifacts. The medium of …

Frequency Domain Identification of Block-oriented Nonlinear Systems
The science of modelling the behaviour of natural phenomena and physical systems has grown significantly in importance in the last century. It helps us to understand and predict natural phenomena or improve and control all types of industrial processes.<br/><br/>There are basically two approaches …

Robert Boyle and the Significance of Skill and Experience in Seventeenth-Century Natural Philosophy
… purpose of this study is to examine how English natural philosophers of the seventeenth centuryin particular, Robert Boyle (1627-1691) considered and assessed the personal traits of skill and experience and the significance of these characteristics to the practice of seventeenth-century science. …

A Mathematical Development of Minimal Surface Theory: From Soap Films to Black Holes
… connections of minimal surfaces to various natural phenomena that occur such as soap films, black holes, biological systems, etc. Lastly, it is discussed briefly where the field is currently and where its future lies beyond.</p>

Modeling structured biological processes with machine learning
Models of natural phenomena have played a fundamental role in scientific progress. In modern biology, we seek to model ever more complex phenomena, driven by advances in highthroughput measurement technology and machine learning. These advances motivate a topdown data-driven modeling approach, but …
