The term, one of several for which he is known, means, roughly, social status, and in the grand theoretical schemes he has elaborated over the last four decades, it is all-important.
He had produced famous theoretical schemes for skyscrapers in Germany, but he had never managed to build much beyond some private houses and several portions of the huge Weissenhof housing project in Stuttgart.
It also links him to a modern urban tradition extending back through Le Corbusier's vast theoretical schemes to the work of Baron Haussmann, the 19th-century planner who carved his grand boulevards through Paris's medieval fabric with equal ruthlessness.
There are different theoretical schemes to describe the electronic properties of cone-like structures.
These theoretical schemes are distinguished by the level of complexity of the biological mechanisms that they represent and by the computational approaches used to simulate them.
These theoretical schemes are compared with experimental studies, numerical simulations, and theoretical approximations reported in the literature to verify their validity.
