Social Organization and Spatial Organization
Human Relations, 1976In afirst experiment groups offivesubjects solved problems while seated at either a circular or a rectangular table. The leader's position at the end of the rectangular table enhanced his ability to direct the group. Leaders of the circular table did not benefit from a privileged position and were forced to ease group tension arising from competing ...

Neurodynamics with spatial self-organizations
Biological Cybernetics, 1991A neural network architecture with self-organization in phase and actual space is proposed and discussed. Special type of differential local interconnections simulating diffusion, dispersion, and convection were investigated. It is shown that these interconnections are responsible for biological pattern formation in a homogeneous neural structure.

Chimpanzee Spatial Memory Organization
Science, 1973Juvenile chimpanzees, carried around an outdoor field and shown up to 18 randomly placed hidden foods, remembered most of these hiding places and the type of food that was in each. Their search pattern approximated an optimum routing, and they rarely rechecked a place they had already emptied of food.

Spatial computing and self-organization
13th IEEE International Workshops on Enabling Technologies: Infrastructure for Collaborative Enterprises, 2005The author discusses the role of "space" in modern distributed computing, and analyze how spatial abstractions promise to be basic necessary ingredients for novel approaches, based on self-organization, to engineer distributed systems.

The Spatial Organization of the Human Genome
Annual Review of Genomics and Human Genetics, 2013In vivo, the human genome functions as a complex, folded, three-dimensional chromatin polymer. Understanding how the human genome is spatially organized and folded inside the cell nucleus is therefore central to understanding how genes are regulated in normal development and dysregulated in disease.

The Role Of Spatial Organization Of Cells In Erythropoiesis
Blood, 2013Abstract The functional unit of definitive mammalian erythropoiesis, the erythroblastic island, consists of a central macrophage surrounded by adherent erythroid progenitor cells at the colony-forming unit/proerythroblast (CFU-E/Pro-EB) stages of differentiation and their differentiating progeny, the erythroblasts.

Accessibility, Efficiency, and Spatial Organization
Environment and Planning A: Economy and Space, 1979The author makes the hypothesis that higher spatial equity does not always mean lower economic efficiency. An attempt is made to check this hypothesis by working out four alternative spatial organizations—described as egalitarian, centralistic, moderate, and moderately concentrated—and evaluating them from the viewpoint of spatial equity and economic ...

Spatial and functional organization. Coupled models for spatial organization in development
Berichte der Bunsengesellschaft für physikalische Chemie, 1994AbstractSeveral simple models have been proposed to account for spatial organization in early development. Recently, a number of models have been proposed in which such patterning mechanisms are coupled. Here, we present a review of some of the latest theoretical results on such systems. In particular, we consider two cases: in one, the coupling of two

In this project, we study the use of performance measurement systems in the public sector. We hypothesize that the way in which these systems are being used depends on the characteristics of the activities -particularly on contractibility, which is a broad construct encompassing clarity of goals, the ability to select undistorted performance metrics ...

Self-organization in spatial ecology
Current BiologyBiologists have long known that populations of organisms - microbes, plants, animals - can self-organize into emergent patterns. Yet, the fact that such patterns can arise with remarkable symmetry at the scale of entire ecosystems remains astonishing, even as aerial imagery has documented their existence across all continents.
