We propose a reaction path‐based Hamiltonian in terms of the reaction coordinate, the curvature coordinate, the remaining 3N−8 transverse normal coordinates (whose directions are orthogonal to the path tangent and curvature vectors), and their conjugate momenta, for an Natomic reaction system. The 3N−8 transverse vibrational modes are independent of the motion along the reaction path, although ...

On the basis of the theory of three-dimensional elasticity, this paper presents a state space finite element solution for the stresses in cross-ply laminates subjected to combined transverse and in-plane loads. The state space formulation is introduced to solve for through-thickness stress distributions, while the traditional finite elements are used to approximate in-plane variations of the st...

Mandibular kinetics is made up of complex movements in addition to the opening and closing movements of the jaw: they take place on the sagittal plane, on the vertical plane and on the transverse plane (1). The Bennett movement is part of this group of movements (2-3). It is a complex lateral movement or lateral shift of the BENNETT MOVEMENT OF MANDIBLE: A COMPARISON BETWEEN TRADITIONAL METHODS...

We show how generalized quark distributions in the nucleon describe the density of polarized quarks in the impact parameter plane, both for longitudinal and transverse polarization of the quark and the nucleon. This density representation entails positivity bounds including chiral-odd distributions, which tighten the known bounds in the chiral-even sector. Using the quark equations of motion, w...

This workshop describes a 10-step sequence of transverse plane two-dimensional transesophageal echocardiographic views of the heart and great vessels that constitutes a basic standardized examination capable of being performed by a beginning practitioner.

Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a multifactorial condition with a variety of symptoms; one being gait variability. The lumbar spine and its musculature are important in controlling gait and in CLBP the lumbar extensors are often deconditioned. Because of this specific exercise for the lumbar extensors is often recommended. It was therefore of interest to examine relationships between lumbar kin...

In relativistic heavy-ion collisions, studying jet correlations and their dependence on the angle of emission with respect to the reaction plane can be used to shed light on the path length dependence of the energy lost by the jet. In this paper, we present recent PHENIX results on jet correlations versus reaction plane, as a function of centrality and transverse momentum.

To correctly perceive visual directions relative to the head, one needs to compensate for the eye's orientation in the head. In this study we focus on compensation for the eye's torsion regarding objects that contain the line of sight and objects that do not pass through the fixation point. Subjects judged the location of flashed probe points relative to their binocular plane of regard, the mid...

We classified v2 measurements according to their sensitivities w.r.t. to two planes, namely, reaction plane and participant plane. Likewise, in v2/ǫ scaling, we showed that one needs to choose a ǫ that is sensitive to the same plane as that v2 is sensitive to. We presented our v2/ǫ as a function of centrality and transverse momentum. We studied the ratio of v4/v 2 2 . We discussed the applicabl...
