Visualization of Shape Motions in Shape Space
IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics, 2013Analysis of dynamic object deformations such as cardiac motion is of great importance, especially when there is a necessity to visualize and compare the deformation behavior across subjects. However, there is a lack of effective techniques for comparative visualization and assessment of a collection of motion data due to its 4-dimensional nature, i.e.,

On the Orientability of Shapes
IEEE Transactions on Image Processing, 2006The orientation of a shape is a useful quantity, and has been shown to affect performance of object recognition in the human visual system. Shape orientation has also been used in computer vision to provide a properly oriented frame of reference, which can aid recognition.

Buildings and Organizations: The Shaping and the Shaped
HERD: Health Environments Research & Design Journal, 2008The words of Winston Churchill, spoken in 1943, provide the philosophical basis for this study of the social implications of the built environment: “We shape our buildings and afterward our buildings shape us.” Using the work of ecological psychologists, sociologists, and organizational design theorists, this paper explores the reciprocal relationship ...

International Journal of Computational Geometry & Applications, 1999
Let shape P be any simply-connected set in the plane, bounded by a Jordan curve, that is not a circular disk. We say that a set of points I on the boundary of P immobilize the shape if any rigid motion of P in the plane causes at least one point of I to penetrate the interior of P. We prove that four points always suffice to immobilize any shape. For a

Shape Properties, Experience of Shape and Shape Concepts
Philosophical Issues, 1996An 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

Shape language: How people describe shapes and shape operations
Design Studies, 2011This research investigates which terms designers use to exteriorise and communicate shape. An experiment was devised for two test subjects, who both receive a picture of a shape. Subject A receives, in addition, a picture that is said to be a modified version of the initial one.

Seeing Shape: Shape Appearances and Shape Constancy
The British Journal for the Philosophy of Science, 2012AbstractA 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’?

Shaping tissue with shape memory materials
Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews, 2013After 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 ...

General magnetostatic shape–shape interactions
Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials, 2005Abstract The magnetostatic interaction energy between two magnetic elements of arbitrary shape is presented as a convolution between the cross-correlation of the particle shapes and the dipolar tensor field. A generalized dipole–dipole interaction is derived, where the magnetic moments associated with the two particles interact through a ...
