Seeing Shape: Shape Appearances and Shape Constancy

The British Journal for the Philosophy of Science, 2012
AbstractA coin rotating back in depth in some sense presents a changing, elliptical shape. How are we to understand such (in this case) ‘appearances of ellipticality’?

Dynamic shape

Biological Cybernetics, 1986
Many useful notions of partial order and/or similarity and relatedness of different geometrical features of smooth shapes that occur in psychologically valid descriptions of shape have no equivalents in the usual geometrical shape theories. This is especially true where similarities are noted between objects of different connectivity: in almost all of ...

Shaping tissue with shape memory materials

Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews, 2013
After being severely and quasi-plastically deformed, shape memory materials are able to return to their original shape at the presence of the right stimulus. After a brief presentation about the fundamentals, including various shape memory effects, working mechanisms, and typical shape memory materials for biomedical applications, we summarize some ...

The Green Shape, the Rose Shape, the Green Shape, the Rose Shape

2022
Ms. Faßbender was indignant. A grease stain adorned her glasses, her slouch hat losing the battle against the heat, her neck protector stuck to her like a wet shower curtain. And now she was standing before this impossible shrub: a dog rose that had the impudence to blossom and carry fruit at the same time, even though the blooming period was over, and

Bacterial shape

Molecular Microbiology, 2003
‘Architecture is the adaptation of form to resist force’.John Ruskin (1874) SummaryIn free‐living eubacteria an external shell of peptidoglycan opposes internal hydrostatic pressure and prevents membrane rupture and death. At the same time, this wall imposes on each cell a shape.

Shape Registration by Optimally Coding Shapes

IEEE Transactions on Information Technology in Biomedicine, 2008
This paper formulates shape registration as an optimal coding problem. It employs a set of landmarks to establish the correspondence between shapes, and assumes that the best correspondence can be achieved when the polygons formed by the landmarks optimally code all the shape contours, i.e., obtain their minimum description length (MDL).

Shape change and shape coexistence in 134Pr

Zeitschrift für Physik A Hadrons and nuclei, 1992
The band structure of doubly odd nucleus 134Pr has been studied by means of the reaction 119Sn(19F,4n) at 87 MeV bombarding energy. Rotational bands built on πh11/2⊗vh11/2 and πh7/2⊗vh11/2 configurations has been observed. A band consisting of quadrupole transitions, probably involving the vi13/2[600]1/2+ orbital was also weakly populated.

Shaping sounds, shaping spaces

Popular Music, 2010
AbstractThe recorded format is the medium through which popular music is diffused. Since the advent of multi-track recording, the studio has become a compositional tool in which musical ideas are formed into sounding matter. Direct access to the manipulation of sound layers and the possibility of mixing different sources and moving them in the stereo ...

Shape Properties, Experience of Shape and Shape Concepts

Philosophical Issues, 1996
An internalist about perception of shape thinks that perception includes sensations of shape, which are what make the experience consciousness of shape. These sensations of shape are different in sight and in touch. An externalist about perception of shape thinks that what makes the experience consciousness of shape is the fact that it is responding to

Shaping Science — Shaping Democracy

2013
In the orbit of Managerialism, there is virtually no society left that remains unaffected by its authoritarian ideology. The substance of the various alternatives for post-managerial living no longer constitutes alternative modes of life. What society is left with are the anti-alternative models and techniques of managerial manipulation and control ...
