Re-Viewing Space
This book describes and explores the linguistic metaphors used by architects to assess design solutions in building reviews, and the conceptual mappings that motivate them. The genre perspective adopted throughout the work offers a view of figurative language that considers its use in the discussion of architectural topics in a real communicative situation involving specific participants, clear rhetorical goals and recognisable textual artefacts. The book thus combines a genre approach to texts with a cognitive view of metaphor. It further aims to restore as the centre of attention the linguistic and textual aspects of metaphor as an instrument of both cognition and communication. The theore...
Evoked Potential Manual
J.P.C. de Weerd Evoked potentials are the electrical voltage fluctuations which can be recorded from parts of the nervous system in response to stimulation of sensory modalities. One may distinguish between evoked potentials from the peripheral and the central nervous system. For the latter type a further subdivision can be made into spinal, brainstem, and cortical evoked potentials, according to the (assumed) structures from which the responses derive. Another possible subdivision can be made with respect to the specific sensory ffiodality which is stimulated. Accordingly, one has auditory, somatosensory, visual, gustatory and olfactory evoked potentials. At the present time, the former three types of evoked potentials are the ones that are commonly measured in diagnostic procedures. Yhe corresponding sensory systems are relatively easy to stimulate, for example by means of an acoustic click, abrief electrical shock or a reversing light pattern. In contrast, stimulation of the olfactory and gustatory systems has proven to be technically and physiologically difficult and research in these areas is still in an early stage.

Metaphors in Architecture and Urbanism
Architecture and urbanism seem to be »weak« disciplines, constantly struggling for a better understanding of their nature and disciplinary borders. The huge amount of metaphors appearing in the discourse of both not only reference to their creative nature but also indicate their weakness and the missing piece strengthening their own understanding: a definition of space for architecture and of city for urbanism. But using metaphors in this field implies a problem - though metaphors achieve to bring opposites together, there remains the question how literal they can actually become in order to relate to these subjects properly. In this volume, several authors from various fields using different approaches discuss this question.

Visual Signal Quality Assessment
This book provides comprehensive coverage of the latest trends/advances in subjective and objective quality evaluation for traditional visual signals, such as 2D images and video, as well as the most recent challenges for the field of multimedia quality assessment and processing, such as mobile video and social media. Readers will learn how to ensure the highest storage/delivery/ transmission quality of visual content (including image, video, graphics, animation, etc.) from the server to the consumer, under resource constraints, such as computation, bandwidth, storage space, battery life, etc.
Architektur mit dem Computer
Das Buch beschreibt Instrumente und Methoden, die Architektinnen und Architekten am Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts beherrschen müssen. Im Mittelpunkt stehen deren Vorzüge und Nachteile im Verhältnis zu den bisher verwendeten Werkzeugen. Der Zeitpunkt, zu dem sie optimal zur Verwendung gelangen, schließlich die Einflüsse auf die Architekturausbildung sowie auf die zukünftige Architektur selbst.Zu Beginn werden die vielfältigen Beziehungen der Architektur zur Informationstechnologie beschrieben. Es schließt sich die Darstellung der neuen Grundwerkzeuge an, die sich in den Architekturbüros zunehmend durchsetzen, gefolgt von der Beschreibung der Instrumente für den Entwurf, die die Herstellung materieller Architektur unterstützen. Am Ende werden der Entwurf und das Bauen immaterieller Architektur, die in der Zukunft einen Teil der Architekturlandschaft ausmachen wird erörtert, gefolgt von einem kritischen Diskurs zur neuen Entwicklung.
