From his job at Jodrell Bank, he searches endlessly, fruitlessly, for his sister in the stars: where is Susan, and what happened to her? Bringing together elements of his novels Strandloper and Red Shift, twisting and twining through Colin's story is that of a man from an ancient time, The Watcher, whose lonely quest plays out in language redolent of myth.
As the doctors worked, the transplant shifted, twisting the colorless lips into an S curve, giving the face a wry, almost bemused expression.
Playing with penetrating sound, myriad colorings and commanding technique, Ms. Koh conveyed the shifting twists of this episodic piece, from its discursive lyrical stretches to its skittish outbursts.
Using this representation may look rather unnatural in biology; but corresponding transformations have been discussed in the flat case, though with a very different language: in [27, 31] they are called Shift-twist transformations.
It is also very interesting to note the successful use of shift-twist symmetry (see Sect. 3.2.4), a geometrical transformation which relates rotations on the cortical plane and rotations in the visual plane, in the study of hallucinatory patterns with contours [30] and of fine geometrical properties of V1 maps [31].
One of the consequences of the underlying Euclidean symmetry is that the associated eigenfunctions form irreducible representations of the shift-twist group action [ 10, 11].
Thus, the orientation preference map exhibits a form of rotational shift-twist symmetry as predicted from our analysis of two-dimensional topographic maps.
When the pitcher starts the motion, shift weight (twist hips) back and move hands back Right after the pitcher releases the baseball, take a small step forward to increase your power.
The automatic is another animal entirely; it performs faultlessly, but undermines the sense of control that you get from the stick shift on twisting roads, where handling matters more than brute force.
At the same time, he acknowledged, "We've seen that it's shifted and twisted in the high winds".
Into this breach have stepped various human rights and other nongovernmental organizations now filling the gaps left by the these shifts and twists of the media world.
