Spaces of Mutable Shape and the Human Ability to Adapt

2011
Life in our present world demands of man an increasing degree of mobility, and increasing flexibility from his environment. Users and recipients demand more and more from architects. Architecture should be a reflection of specific individual characteristics of its user. Introducing dynamic aspects to architecture is rooted in history. It always had its

Technologies shape sensorimotor skills and abilities

Trends in Neuroscience and Education, 2016
Abstract Humans shape their environment more than any other species does, and the environment, in turn, shapes the profile of human skills. In spite of the general specificity of practice of sensorimotor skills, the waxing and waning of specific skills goes along with modulations of a broader range of skills or sensorimotor abilities.

Third Graders' Ability to Associate Foldout Shapes with Polyhedra

Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1986
Thirty-four Grade 3 pupils were asked ro match 14 foldour shapes (nets) with 7 polyhedra. The pupils had more success associating nets containing triangular regions than nets composed entirely of rectangular regions. It was easier for the pupils to identify the nets of pyramids and of a triangular prism when the lateral faces were distributed around ...

Radially-Segmented Micromirror With Surface Shaping Ability

2016 International Conference on Optical MEMS and Nanophotonics (OMN), 2016
We propose a radially-segmented micromirror with surface shaping ability. It is designed to combine the scanning and variable focusing functions, which is useful for applications such as optical imaging.

Shaping ability of nickel-titanium rotary instruments in simulated S-shaped root canals

Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, Oral Radiology, and Endodontology, 2010
The aim of this study was to compare the shaping ability of 4 nickel-titanium rotary techniques and 1 hand technique in simulated S-shaped curved root canals.Seventy-five simulated double-curved resin root canals were divided into 5 groups (n = 15). The canals were compared at 12 different levels and at 3 different times: before preparation and after ...

Milking ability in relation to size and shape of teats

Animal Science, 1972
SUMMARYLength and diameter of teats were measured on first-lactation cows at Danish progeny testing stations. The cows were also classified into four groups according to shape of teat and teat tip. All traits were corrected for yield level and interval after calving and correlated with milking characteristics. The conclusions drawn were:1.

Influence of fingertip and object shape on the manipulation ability of underactuated hands

2017 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS), 2017
This paper presents a kinetostatic framework to analyze the grasping and in-hand object manipulation abilities of two-finger underactuated hands. The framework includes a procedure to compute the Grasp Matrix and the Hand Jacobian for objects and fingertips of arbitrary shape considering rolling contacts without slipping. The usefulness of the proposed

[Comparison of the shaping ability of reciprocating instruments in simulated S-shaped canals].

Zhonghua kou qiang yi xue za zhi = Zhonghua kouqiang yixue zazhi = Chinese journal of stomatology, 2015
To evaluate the shaping ability of Reciproc, WaveOne,Mtwo and ProTaper instruments in simulated S-shaped root canals.A total of 40 simulated S-shaped resin blocks were divided randomly into four groups, each group was prepared with Reciproc (group A), WaveOne (group B), Mtwo (group C) and ProTaper (group D), respectively.

Shaping Appropriations: Legislative Ability and Budgetary Success

Political Research Quarterly
In recent years, scholars have grown increasingly attentive to the uneven impacts that individual legislators exert on policy outcomes. These differences may reflect both lawmakers’ intrinsic abilities and the institutional levers at their disposal (e.g., chamber or party positions). Yet disentangling these forces empirically is challenging. We isolate
