Unlike the situation in most cockroach and cricket species studied so far, the wind-sensitive cerci of the cave cricket Troglophilus neglectus Krauss (Rhaphidophoridae, Orthoptera) are not oriented parallel to the body axis but perpendicular to it. The effects of this difference on the morphology, and directional sensitivity of cercal giant interneurons (GIs), were investigated. In order to tes...

This paper continues the study of a disk rolling on a horizontal plane. In this Part we focus our efforts on the nonlinear oscillations about the equilibria, appropriate to modelling the later stages of the Euler disk motions, when the disk is nearly horizontal.

The purpose of the final focus system (FFS) of the future linear colliders (ILC and CLIC) is to demagnify the beam to the required size at the interaction point (IP). This can be done in a compact way based on a local chromaticity correction [1]. For an enlarged horizontal beta function at the IP βx*, chromaticity on horizontal plane will be smaller. We get a smaller vertical beam size, at the ...

In this paper a sequential radio wave propagation simulator has been parallelized in order to speed up the execution. Only outdoor propagation in microcells is considered in this simulator. The simulator combines a vertical plane model which simulates the wave propagation over the building roofs and a horizontal plane model which simulates the wave propagation in the street canyons between the ...

Procedures are given for estimating the two dimensions of the angular size of a synchrotron light pattern as a function of wavelength for each of two polarization components. It is found that horizontal angular sizes (measured in the orbital plane) are substantially larger than corresponding vertical angular sizes. Except for wavelengths which are considerably smaller than a critical wavelength...

introdouction: impacted and partially erupted third molars can cause various symptoms and pathologies. the aim of this study was to determine the association between commonly observed pathological conditions and the impaction depth of lower third molar teeth. materials and methods: in this retrospective study, 370 panoramic radiographs including 724 lower third molars were evaluated to assess s...

Recently, we developed a model of binocular fixation. This model predicts the amount of cyclovergence as a function of target elevation and horizontal target vergence. The prediction derives from the assumption that version and vergence add linearly and that the eye positions are constrained in three respects: (1) the foveae of the two eyes are directed towards the target, (2) the version compo...

The aim of the present study was to obtain quantitative information concerning the three-dimensional (3D) arrangement of the facial soft tissues of subjects with Down's syndrome. The 3D co-ordinates of 50 soft tissue facial landmarks were recorded by an electromechanical digitizer in 17 male and 11 female subjects with Down's syndrome aged 12-45 years, and in 429 healthy individuals of the same...

THE PELVIC RING IS STRESSED BY EXTERNAL FORCES by partial body weight, by ligament tension, and by muscles forces stabilizing the hip joints. For the symphysis ossis pubis there exist data concerning the type and magnitude of stresses. In one-leg-standing pressure, shear forces are predominant, and in both-leg-standing tensile forces are acting on the pelvic ring. Rupture of the symphysis is pr...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to verify the concordance of the measurement values when the same cephalometric analysis method was used for two-dimensional (2D) cephalometric radiography and three-dimensional computed tomography (3D CT), and to identify which 3D Frankfort horizontal (FH) plane was the most concordant with FH plane used for cephalometric radiography. MATERIALS AND METHOD...
