Spatial prepositions such as in and on seem to denote semantically indeterminate spatial relations. This re ̄ects, in part, the physical relationships between the objects in the scenes that they are used to portray. We argue that such physical relationships are best represented in terms of an inherently dynamic functional geometry which incorporates notions of location control. Two experiments a...

Bruno Latour is a vehement critic of the sociology of knowledge in general, and the Strong Program in particular. For those who are familiar with his books Science in Action (Latour, 1987), The Pasteurization of France (Latour, 1988) and We Have Never Been Modern (Latour, 1993) the pivotal role played by these criticisms in Latour’s writing will be evident. To those who only know his work by re...

BERTENTHAL, B. and VON HOFSTEN, C. Eye, head, and trunk control: the foundation for manual development. NEUROSCI BIOBEHAV REV 22(4)515–520, 1998.—Mastery of reaching and manipulation relies on adequate postural control. The trunk must be balanced relative to a base of support to allow free movements of the arms and hands. Moreover, the head must be supported flexibly by the trunk so that gaze c...

The conventional justification for a statute of limitations on tort suits (or any other legal claim) is that evidence deteriorates over time, thereby increasing the likelihood of legal error. The optimal statute balances this cost of a longer statute length against the dilution in deterrence that results from a shorter length. In this paper I develop a formal model to show that a finite statute...

Materials used in the construction industry frequently contain large quantities of silica. When they are cut or shaped with power tools considerable respirable dust can be produced. Three dust control systems for use with cut-o€ saws have been evaluated on site: wet dust suppression using mains water, the same system using water from a portable water tank, and local exhaust ventilation. The ec...

Investments in IT have become a dominant part of the capital budgets of many organizations. While the costs seem readily identi®able, many of the bene®ts are elusive. In this paper we develop a formal and practical methodology to evaluate information technology infrastructure investments. Our experience in using this approach has shown that it not only impacts the outcome but also improved unde...
