Overall, it's an interesting discussion about the move away from exceptional design and towards more functional and in some cases, convoluted design, especially in technology.
But the result is a convoluted design.
Findley's images and his book's convoluted design -- a straightforward (if bizarre) narrative disrupted by wormholes of additional plot -- wind up filling the text with unexpected depths and insights.
They had a convoluted design history involving several British companies, evolving requirements, an international design competition, and foreign protests.
George's role, one of the longest in the English comic repertoire, is devoted mainly to the composition of a hilarious, interminable, outrageously convoluted lecture designed to prove that moral absolutes exist — and closely analogous, as I've said, to the address dictated by Dr. Huml in Havel's "The Increased Difficulty of Concentration".
And does it make sense to retain a blinkered faith in financiers' abilities to corral risk — as if it weren't the unwieldy and surprising beast it often turns out to be? Designing convoluted securities out of simple mortgage loans, Wall Street's wizards thought they had managed to offload all their risks to others.
Among the apparent losers, the finger-pointing has already begun: Board of Education members have faulted Mr. Levy for designing a convoluted process that required a vote in favor of the Edison plan by the parents of 50percentt of the children enrolled at a school, a level of turnout rarely reached in those neighborhoods in any election.
The statistical significance of the hemodynamic responses was evaluated by a general linear model (GLM) with the boxcar design matrix convoluted with Gaussian function.
We statistically assessed the data using GLM with a box-car design matrix convoluted with Gaussian function instead of a pure box-car function since a previous fMRI study reported that the best compromise between goodness-of-fit and the number of model parameters was found with the Gaussian function (Rajapakse et al. 1998).
Unfortunately, the FotoShow may never reach mass-market stocking-stuffer status, thanks to its convoluted software design (let alone its price).
