1. The dynamic contribution of otolith signals to three-dimensional angular vestibuloocular reflex (VOR) was studied during off-vertical axis rotations in rhesus monkeys. In an attempt to separate response components to head velocity from those to head position relative to gravity during low-frequency sinusoidal oscillations, large oscillation amplitudes were chosen such that peak-to-peak head ...

It is well established that light carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) can be used to induce a mechanical torque causing an object to spin. We consider the complementary scenario: will an observer spinning relative to the beam axis measure a change in OAM as a result of their rotational velocity? Remarkably, although a linear Doppler shift changes the linear momentum of a photon, the angular...

We present how the laser diode (LD) current tuning induced intensity modulation affects the performance of an open-loop resonator fibre optic gyro (R-FOG) with sinusoidal wave modulation. The expression for the demodulation curve under intensity modulation caused by the dynamic input rotation angular rate and varied environmental factors induced resonance frequency drift is provided. Numerical ...

Seth’s transition theory is applied to the problems of thickness variation parameter in a thin rotating disc by finite deformation. Neither the yield criterion nor the associated flow rule is assumed here. The results obtained here are applicable to compressible materials. If the additional condition of incompressibility is imposed, then the expression for stresses corresponds to those arising ...

In order to develop a fine angular beam steering technique (milliradian and less), we propose a nematic liquid crystal cell with a continuous gradient of the refractive index. This continuous gradient is controlled by applying the driving voltage to non-patterned indium-tin oxide electrodes. We employed the dual-frequency nematic liquid crystal in the cell with high pretilt alignment. The exper...

Frequency-angular distributions for THz emission in the range of 0.1 - 3 generated a single-color laser filament plasma situated both under and without electrostatic field are first time experimentally studied. The angular distribution various spectral components this is demonstrated to differ significantly. maximal propagation angles these grow up electric field, low-frequency depending signif...

We study the angular power spectra of the polarized component of the Galactic synchrotron emission in the 28–deg Test Region of the Southern Galactic Plane Survey at 1.4 GHz. These data were obtained by the Australia Telescope Compact Array and allow us to investigate angular power spectra down to arcminute scales. We find that, at this frequency, the polarization spectra for E– and B–modes see...
