This book provides an overview of multiple aspects of spatial language understanding and explores recent trends of modeling based on very large foundational models and their applications. The authors address the following five main themes: spatial semantic representations in both symbolic and sub-symbolic spaces; spatial information extraction computational models; reasoning over spatial language; commonsense spatial understanding; and multiple modern and state-of-the-art downstream applications of spatial language understanding including dialogue systems, narrative discourse, and grounding language in the physical world with the multi-modal problem settings. One of the essential functions of natural language is to express spatial relationships between objects. Linguistic constructs can encode highly complex structures of objects, spatial relations between them, and patterns of motion through space relative to a reference point. The complexity of spatial language understanding and its

From the pre-Islamic Jahilia, early modern Sikri and Florence, to postcolonial Bombay and Karachi, cities have played a pivotal role in Salman Rushdie’s fiction. This book focuses on spatial concerns

This volume brings together a comprehensive and up-to-date collection of protocols that reflect the diverse experimental strategies. Chapters detail T-cell, macrophage characterization, neutrophil functional assays, organoid culture methods, spatial transcriptomics, RNA FISH, microRNA profiling, and ribosome profiling. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and key tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and cutting-edge, Autoimmunity: Methods and Protocols aims to be a useful and practical guide to new researchers and experts looking to expand their knowledge.

Dynamic stability analysis enables the determination of unstable regions, which adversely affect a structure's durability. Unlike conventional cable-strut frameworks, tensegrity structures are characterized by a system of internal forces that hold the elements in stable equilibrium, so the initial prestress crucially affects the distribution of unstable regions. This book presents both theoretical background and examples to make a full qualitative and quantitative assessment of these structures possible. First, a geometrically non-linear model and the methods used to evaluate the behavior of tensegrity structures are explained, before a broad spectrum of different planar and spatial design solutions is considered. The book moves step-by-step from the simplest two-dimensional structure, for which solutions can be presented in explicit form, to more complex tensegrity structures such as domes, towers, and plates.

A richly illustrated look at the lives and collaborations of two unsung giants of American landscape and urban designGilmore D. Clarke and Michael Rapuano were the foremost spatial designers of the American century. Their vast portfolio of public landscapes propelled the legacy of Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux into the motor age, touching the lives of millions and changing the face of the nation.Designing the American Centuryrecovers the forgotten legacy of Clarke and Rapuano, whose parks and parkways, highways and housing estates helped modernize—for better or worse—the American metropolis.With the patronage of public-works titan Robert Moses, Clarke and Rapuano transformed New York over a span of fifty years, revitalizing the city’s immense park system but also planning expressways, public housing, and urban renewal projects that laid waste to entire sections of the city. In this groundbreaking work, Thomas J. Campanella describes how Clarke and Rapuano helped create some of

This second edition volume brings together some of the best experts in the field of modern metabolomics to discuss the latest various techniques used to study specific metabolite classes, and metabolomics in bacterial and mammalian systems. The chapters in this book cover topics such as handling big data for metabolite identification and quantification, as well as building pathways for comparison with other omes, Isotopic Ratio Outlier Analysis (IROA) for quantitative analysis; cholesterol and derivatives in ocular tissues using LC-MS/MS methods; microbial metabolites analysis by mass spectrometry; the metabolomic study of tissues in different diseases; and NMR analysis in livestock metabolomics. It also includes several chapters on the emerging area of spatial metabolomics. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, the chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily repro

To Reach the Source: The Stepwells of India is a photography book about a unique and magnificent architectural form that remains unknown to most people outside (and even within) India. More than just a shaft dug into the earth to fetch water, these are entire buildings that descend several stories below ground; they are spaces to be entered and occupied, serving functional, social, and ritual purposes. Often, they are as monumental and ornate as a church, and this is intentional. They are a source of water, a gathering space, and a temple all at once, but instead of rising into the sky, they descend below the surface. They create a spatial experience unlike any other, in which one is below ground but remains connected to the sun and sky. Today they lie largely abandoned and overlooked, in various states of preservation or, more often, disrepair. The photographs seek to recreate the striking ambiance that they elicit. The brief text that follows the images (interspersed with a few archi
