The monocentric city model of Muth (1969) and Mills (1972) is still the dominant model of urban spatial structure. Its central predictions – that population density, land values, and house prices fall with distance from the city center – have been the subject of repeated empirical testing.

From Monocentricity to Polycentricity
1999This chapter provides a bridge between the first and the second parts of our book. It defends the utility of the monocentric paradigm which has been the subject of growing criticism in recent years, and it provides background to support the need for a robust polycentric city model.

The Monocentric Schmidt-Cassegrain Cameras
Proceedings of the Physical Society. Section B, 1950Formulae are obtained for the leading coefficents in the plate-profile expansion of the monocentric Schmidt-Cassegrain cameras. These are used to derive expressions for the monochromatic and chromatic aberrations of the general monocentric system, and spot-diagrams are included to illustrate the image quality in a typical case.

Monocentric Telescopes For Microlithography
Optical Engineering, 1987The general properties of telescopic optical systems consisting of a set of concentric surfaces are discussed. It is shown that if a monocentric system existed for which an incident collimated beam emerged as exactly collimated, then the system would give geometrically perfect imaging of any point in space.

Monocentrism, or Soundtracks in Space
2020This chapter investigates how the introduction of stereo complicated Hollywood’s vococentric practices. It also reveals how sound technicians developed mixing techniques that preserved the salience of dialogue in multi-channel soundscapes. The author refers to such techniques as monocentrism and illustrates monocentric norms by analyzing the climactic ...

The objective content of the visual world of a monocular, immobile observer is entirely due to “monocular cues”. These cues only partially constrain the geometry, the remaining ambiguities define a freedom of the observer to commit “mental changes of viewpoint”. Though fully idiosyncratic, such changes cannot possibly violate the optical data.

Neoplastic Pericardial Effusion: A Monocentric Retrospective Study
Journal of Palliative Medicine, 2019Background: Neoplastic pericardial effusion (NPE) is a life-threatening condition that can worsen clinical outcome in cancer patients. The optimal management of NPE has yet to be defined because randomized studies are lacking. Objective: We report a retrospective monoinstitutional experience describing characteristics, management and prognostic factors

The Monocentric Model and Employment Location
Journal of Urban Economics, 1994Summary: The monocentric urban model highlights the important link between transportation access and urban form. Yet as metropolitan areas have become increasingly multicentric, the monocentric model has been criticized on several levels. This paper tests an important assumption used in many monocentric models -- namely that employment location is ...

Subclassification of spiral monocentric whorls
International Journal of Anthropology, 1987Despite all the papers on the classification of dermatoglyphic features, there is no definitive in sight yet. With this work we intend to contribute to adapt the subclassification of spiral monocentric whorls to their biologic nature. The results in this work show that clockwise whorls on the right hand match counter-clockwise ones on the left, and ...

Capabilities of monocentric objective lenses
Imaging and Applied Optics, 2013Monocentric lenses enable panoramic high-resolution imaging, but have not been fully explored. We present algorithms for systematic optimization of monocentric objectives, and show the tradeoff between lens complexity and focal length, numerical aperture and spectral bandwidth.
