Analysis of Cardinal Point Survey Data

Don Wells · 2000

A least-squares model has been tted to the data from a survey of retrospheres attached to \\cardinal point" nodes of the GBT feedarm and box structure and to the elevation bearings. The LS t includes gravitational deections from the as-built nite-element model of the GBT. The azimuth zero point (a traditional pointing model parameter) and the elevation of the elevation axle can be estimated from the data, and the vector osets of the retrospheres from nearby nodes can be determined. The trajectory of the tip of the feedarm is discussed, including the deection out of the plane-of-symmetry. The lateral position of the azimuth axis w.r.t. the \\ring-of-re" is estimated from measurements of the four elevation bearing retrospheres.

The Horeki-Anei Period as administrative cardinal point toward modern period.

吉村, 豊雄, ヨシムラ, トヨオ, Yoshimura, Toyoo · Kumamoto University Repository (Kumamoto University) · 2010

十八世紀中期、対象とする熊本藩では、農村社会の変容、社会の公共業務拡大のなかで、「村」の成り立ち・年貢請負を広域的に保障する地域組織として、また地方の公共業務を担う組織主体として、郡と村の中間行政区域たる「手永」の役割が大きく顕現化する。そして宝暦－安永期の藩政改革過程において志向される行財政整理、行政業務のスリム化とあいまった行政権限・財源の地方移譲を通じて「手永」の広域自治団体化が進み、緩やかながら武家領主の政治行政を収縮に向かわせる地方胎動を現出せしめる。

Cardinal Newman and Christina Rossetti: Contrasted from a Religious and Literary Point of View

Sullivan, M. Rosenda · e-Publications@Marquette (Marquette University) · 1928

Literature is a magic wand possessed of the power to transport the dwellers of earth away from this sphere of sordid reality into a fairy palace of ecstatic joy. It is the sesame to a world of pleasure indiscoverable in the actual world. Truly it is, to use the words of a poet, "The touch of a vanished hand And the bound of a voice that is still," for through it as a medium the spirits of men and of races long since turned to dust reinhabit their discarded bodies to appear in life-appareled form and re-act time's changeful drama of joy and sorrow.

Making a Cardinal Point: The Conceptualization of EAST and WEST in Hungarian Public Discourse

Lilla Petronella Szabó · Metaphor and Symbol · 2025

In political discourse, cardinal points are more than reference points; they represent different cultural-political regions through conceptual metonymy. Cardinal points are often portrayed in opposition to each other; regions in the North are compared to the South, while the East is contrasted with the West. One peculiarity of these dichotomies is that regimes routinely shape them in a way that fits their political goals (cf. Rac, 2014). This is also true for Hungarian political communication, as the country’s belonging to the East or West has been debated throughout history. Thus, what exactly East and West stand for in public discourse appears flexible. To recover their various meanings, this paper identifies alternative conceptualizations of East and West and hypothesizes that 1) multiple metonymic target concepts of East and West exist in Hungarian news media and 2) the target concepts profile alternative (historical-cultural and political-economic) interpretations. In line with Brdar and Brdar-Szabó (2022), this study considers metonymy as a conceptual elaboration; therefore, it is one of the first empirical tests of this metonymy interpretation. The results corroborate the hypotheses as multiple metonymic target concepts are identified motivated by history and geopolitics.
