Transformation: A Key to Shaping Nursing

Image: the Journal of Nursing Scholarship, 1984
AbstractThis article focuses on a time that expands the present and embraces the year 2000. The transformational world view is presented as a system of values and beliefs ever‐changing and leading in different directions. Several directions are discussed in relation to the shaping of nursing.

Shapely hierarchical graph transformation

Proceedings IEEE Symposia on Human-Centric Computing Languages and Environments (Cat. No.01TH8587), 2002
Diagrams can be represented by graphs, and the animation and transformation of diagrams can be modeled by graph transformation. This paper studies extensions of graphs and graph transformation that are important for programming with graphs: /spl middot/ We extend graphs by a notion of hierarchy that supports value composition, and define hierarchical ...

Shape and nanocrystal transformations

Science, 2021
Nanomaterials Cation exchange reactions that change the composition of a nanocrystal (NC) under mild conditions usually preserve the sublattice of the larger anions. Li et al. found that the shape of roxbyite (Cu1.8S) nanocrystals, which have a distorted, hexagonal, close-packed sulfide anion sublattice, affected the outcome of exchange reactions with ...

Shape Transformers for Material and Shape Selection

Volume 5a: 17th International Conference on Design Theory and Methodology, 2005
This paper presents a method for selecting materials, cross-section shapes, and combinations thereof. The novelty of the method is the definition of Shape Transformers. These parameters are dimensionless measures of the geometric quantities of a cross-section.

Medial Axis Transformation of a Planar Shape

IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, 1982
The medial axis transformation is a means first proposed by Blum to describe a shape. In this paper we present a 0(n log n) algorithm for computing the medial axis of a planar shape represented by an n-edge simple polygon. The algorithm is an improvement over most previously known results interms of both efficiency and exactness and has been ...

The circle transform, an articulable shape descriptor

Computers and Biomedical Research, 1977
Abstract This paper presents a new method of shape description which facilitates the analysis and synthesis of biological objects. In particular, it permits the description and manipulation of local boundary segments in a compressed form that is directly interpretable. Some global descriptive techniques are contrasted with this method.

Shape and Shape Transformations of Heated Human Red Cells

Journal of Experimental Biology, 1949
ABSTRACT The action of temperatures above 48° C. on the red cell is usually regarded as a classical example of the irreversible effects of injury, the lysis which follows being attributed to a surface membrane becoming permeable because its lipid components are melted or because its protein components become denatured.

Shapes, Brushes, and Transforms

2010
In many user interface technologies, there’s a clear distinction between ordinary controls and custom drawing. Often the drawing features are used only in specialized applications—for example, games, data visualization, physics simulations, and so on.

Shapes, Transforms, and Brushes

2008
When you were first introduced to WPF in Chapter 1, you learned that it’s powered by an entirely new graphics model—one that handles prebuilt controls and custom-drawn graphics in the same way, uses hardware acceleration with ordinary two-dimensional drawing, and favors scalable vectors over bitmaps.
