Movement Function Follows Spatial Form: Coordinate System Implications for Online Visual Feedback Control of the Hand
… visual presentation of direction and extent information of the moving hand. Results from this experiment suggest that people control the direction and extent of hand position independently during the course of a movement. With that in mind, we reasoned that if these two dimensions were …

Gertrude Stein, spatial form, and prose poetry : how Stein uses the linguistic hybridity of prose poetry to present space as process
… strand of prose poetry, indebted to the formal experiments of Gertrude Stein, can be used to stage space as a flux of becoming. It investigates the dynamics of this kind of prose poetry through critical reflections on my own creative practice as it has developed out of a close analysis of …

Az önkormányzatok lehetőségei a szuburbanizációs folyamatok alakításában. A szuburbanizációs hatások térbeli megjelenése és a különbségek mögötti lehetséges okok vizsgálata a Budapesti Agglomeráció példáján = The opportunities of local governments to influence the processes of suburbanization. The spatial form of suburban effects, and the possible reasons behind the differences – investigating the Agglomeration of Budapest
Budapest vonzáskörzete több évtizede a nagy társadalmi változások terepe. Az utóbbi bő húsz évben, a rendszerváltás óta, különösen jelentős társadalmi és gazdasági folyamatok zajlottak, zajlanak az övezetben. E korszak egyik meghatározó jelensége a főként Budapestről érkező lakossági és gazdasági …

The Role of Spatial Structure in Human Duration Processing
… the interaction between the reliability of spatial form information and the neural mechanisms responsible for the processing of sub-second durations. Duration discrimination sensitivity was found to be lower when event durations were defined by stimulus characteristics that caused reductions …

Higher occupancy humanism : the trade-offs for encouraging middle income housing in a global city
… poor. The lack of income diversity results in a spatial built form that also mimics this polarized condition. In these circumstances, might there be a strategy for encouraging a housing prototype that specifically targets the broad middle class market in order for cities to maintain diverse …

Efficient integral equation solution of electromagnetic scattering by arbitrarily shaped objects in planar, multilayered media
… even for problems of moderate size. For spatial-domain formulations, this is due to the presence of the Sommerfeld integrals required for obtaining the Green's functions in spatial form.

Revealing place through performance : a seismic research center in Kaiti, New Zealand
This thesis proposes the generation of spatial form by a critical understanding of performance and performance theory. Performance is defined as a physical action which manifests a fundamental transformation of conscious understanding of an existing situation or condition. Substantively, …

Withholding Language: ambiguity and precision in the education of an architect
… The act of constructing a mold to cast a spatial form in plaster, or drawing the lineaments bounding impressions of space, is analogous to making a building. These kinds of actions require precise thinking and making. They carry the weight and burden of the delay of language. This very …

Between the Model and the Lived
… processes seem best evoked in terms of various forms of endemic uncertainty which, in turn, define an essentially turbulent industrial environment. The pursuit of stability is re-interpreted as ‘unstable equilibrium’ in building processes, requiring constant feedback to maintain control.” …

Two Cost Analyses in Resource Economics: The Public Service Costs of Alternative Land Settlement Patterns and Effluent Allowance Trading in Long Island Sound
This study offers two cost analyses to inform public policy decisions on the use of land and water resources. The first presents some public service costs associated with different spatial forms of land development. The second cost analysis presents costs associated with three different policy …
