This paper compares the effect of two aspects of a city’s spatial configuration – spatial separation between areas and dissimilarity in spatial integration between areas – on socio-economic residential differentiation in the city of Tel Aviv, Israel. The integration analysis is based on the space syntax methodological–conceptual framework and focuses on Tel Aviv’s core, where the main socio-eco...

0 Abstract “Space syntax” has shown that spatial configuration can be described as a set of lines covering all the areas of a layout and all the ways of moving around the one dimensional and two dimensional boundaries that it comprises. This article proposes alternative formal definitions of linear representations of spatial configuration and ways in which they can be generated. The significanc...

The particle dynamics in a liquid exhibits a transient spatial distribution of dynamic heterogeneities. The relationship between this kinetic structure and the underlying particle configuration remains an outstanding problem. In this Letter, we present a general simulation technique for identifying the features of the dynamic heterogeneity which arise due to a specific configuration, as distinc...

Hitherto no method, to our knowledge, was known to incorporate spatial phase shifting for the measurement of pure in-plane displacements. We demonstrate that the modified Duffy two-aperture configuration [Opt. Lett. 22, 1958 (1996)], which is sensitive to only the in-plane displacement component and offers increased sensitivity, lends itself to measurement with spatial phase shifting. The confi...

The items in a spatial database have location, extent, and shape with respect to a spatial coordinate system. Simple approximations to these attributes, say by bounding rectangles, are storage efficient and easy to manipulate. But effective spatial retrieval (on either location, extent, or shape) require a more precise representation of these attributes. In this report, we describe a highly com...

There has been a world-wide surge of interest in cycling over the last 10 years of which London has seen a continuous growth in cyclists and investment in infrastructure that has resulted in the introduction of the Barclays Cycle Superhighway and Barclays Cycling Hiring Scheme. Despite the investment in cycling infrastructure, there has been little understanding of cycling activity patterns in ...
