Fitting Round Objects Into Square Databases1

چکیده
Object-oriented systems could use much of the functionality of database systems to manage their objects. Persistence, object identity, storage management, distribution and concurrency control are some of the things that database systems traditionally handle well. Unfortunately there is a fundamental difference in philosophy between the object-oriented and database approaches, namely that of object independence versus data independence. We discuss the ways in which this difference in outlook manifests itself, and we consider the possibilities for resolving the two views, including the current work on object-oriented databases. We conclude by proposing an approach to co-existence that blurs the boundary between the object-oriented execution environment and the database.

How do global and local geometries shape exploratory behavior in rats?
The present study examines how rats process object information in relation to other objects as well as to the global shape of an enclosure. Rats were introduced into either a round or a square arena with various arrays of freestanding portable corners (objects) that differed in spacing, orientation, and number. We found that the time spent at the objects was substantially higher in the round co...
متن کاملDevelopmental Psychology, in press Fitting objects into holes: On the development of spatial cognition skills
14to 26-month-old infants’ understanding of the spatial relationships between objects and apertures was studied in an object manipulation task. The task was to insert objects with various cross-sections (circular, square, rectangular, elliptic, and triangular) into fitting apertures. A successful solution requires the infant to mentally rotate the object to be fitted into the aperture and use t...

We would eventually find how to open the radios and will find objects of various shape, color, and size [...]. We would describe and classify them into families according to their appearance. We would describe a family of square metal objects, a family of round brightly colored objects with two legs, round-shaped objects with three legs and so on. Because the objects would vary in color, we wil...
