A Portfolio of Original Compositions (Andrew Dolphin)
… electroacoustic pieces are presented. Ideas of kinesis and kinetic energy as an external compositional agent, and multichannel spatial approaches are central to these works.<br/><br/>Cross-pollination of aspects of both aesthetic and technical concerns of each discipline are explored, and these …

Investigating the biomechanics of a lizard skull using advanced computer modelling techniques with experimental validation
… has demonstrated its definite potential. Cranial kinesis was seen to be mechanically significant in reducing joint reaction forces acting upon the skull, and specific groups of sutures (i.e. the frontal-parietal suture) in the Uromastyx skull played a substantial role in relieving strain compared …

Documentation panels: Evidence of scientific literacy in a primary multi age classroom: Teaching at the edge of magic
… and processes, an analysis of student generated kinesis, and examination of the narrative stories some students tell as they talk about science. Linking the documentation panels to the National Science Standards provides evidence of science knowledge in young students in this class.</p>

Time (Chronos) in Aristotle's Natural Philosophy and of Time's Place in Early Naturphilosophie (1750-1800)
… that time is the number (arithmos) of motion (kinesis) with respect to before and after (219b1), is highly contextualized and as such must be understood as not only derivative of both Aristotle's definition of nature, as the inner capacity for motion and rest (192b13-22), and of his explanation …

Comparative Morphology and Macroevolution of the Avian Quadrate
… the skull, playing an important role in cranial kinesis. Therefore, the evolution of avian quadrate morphology presumably has been influenced by selective pressures related to feeding. Owing to its complex and variable morphology, the avian quadrate has been relatively overlooked with respect to …

Ethical decision making in the National Health Service: A theoretical analysis of clinical negligence with reference to the existential writings of Søren Kierkegaard, Emmanuel Levinas, and Jean-Paul Sartre.
… ethical. <br/><br/>The Kierkegaardian concept of kinesis is applied to explore the transition from possibility to actuality in ethical action. During this process a range of dynamics are identified in creating the concept as best described by Levinas as totalisation .<br/><br/>Where previously the …

The Contemplation of the Transcendent Heart: Tracing the ἡγεμονικόν from the Stoics to Origen
Origen incorporates the Stoic concept of the ἡγεμονικόν, ‘governing faculty’, into his psychology and ethics as the transcendent heart. Origen, who stands at the watershed between ‘middle’ and ‘neo’ Platonism, provides us with a distinctive perspective on how late antique thinkers were able to …

Genetic Analysis of Drosophila Stomatogastric Nervous System
… negative Dscam1 clearly increased overall kinesis of second instar larvae, an added copy of full length Dscam1 adversely affected locomotion. Interestingly, behavioral outputs were dramatically altered in the presence of a typical food odor, ethyl acetate. In summary, genetic and functional …

Making a change : Aristotle on poiêsis, kinêsis and energeia
I examine the relation between the action of producing a change (kinêsis) in something else and the action of exercising one’s nature or craft (energeia). I call for the distinction between kinêsis and energeia by arguing that in Metaphysics IX.1-5 change should be construed as a transformational …
