Abstract:
Urban morphologists intuitively understand and abstract patterns and elements of cities. Typo-morphology is an approach in urban morphology that classifies urban elements by their morphological characteristics. This paper discusses how the urban form affects different perceptual modalities. Vision is the dominant sense in humans, and the predominant focus in architecture and urban design. Visual perception is enhanced when supported by related auditory cues and vice versa. Sounds provide an important link to reality, are enriching and protective. We pay more attention to sources we can hear but not see, for example a car approaching from behind. Without sound, visual perception is less contrast and less informative. Urban design can be understood as the art of arranging urban elements, such as streets, buildings, sidewalks, urban furniture, vegetation etc. to meet human needs. It is important for urban designers to understand the urban form in the context of environmental perception and cognition related to the urban space for informed urban design.

Directional Asymmetry of Morphological Traits During Postnatal Ontogeny in Root Vole Microtus oeconomus Pall. (Rodentia, Cricetidae)
Kovaleva, Vera Yu.; Efimov, Vadim M.; Litvinov, Yuri N.; Ковалева, В.Ю.; Ефимов, В.М.; Литвинов, Ю.Н. (Сибирский федеральный университет. Siberian Federal University., 2013-06)We analyzed Microtus oeconomus material collected for 25 years (1982–1992, 1994–2005, 2009, 2010). Directional asymmetry (DA) was demonstrated for teeth morphotypes, adrenal and kidney weights, and for length of the hind ... -

The morphological and structural features of ferrite compositions (1-x) MeFe2O4 xP2O5 prepared by plasma spraying
Lepeshev, А. А.; Karpov, I. V.; Uschakov, A. V.; Nagibin, G. E. (2016)Structural features of spinel ferrites formed by rapid quenched from the liquid state, has been studied. It was found that higher quenching rates cause sequential disorder of the spinel structure. Process starts with ... -
