A new model, conceptually informed by the embryology and evolutionary biomechanics of vertebrate movement patterns, describes fields of interacting contractility. Each contractile field is modelled as embedding a primary sense organ. Contractile fields are whole organism in scope and are drawn from core mammalian movement patterns such as flexing/extending, lateral flexing, twisting left/right,...

In the past the lateral geniculate body has tended to receive less than its due share of attention in the investigation of the neural basis of vision. Yet a detailed study of the intermediate cell station in the lateral geniculate body is clearly an essential part of such an investigation. The anatomical situation of the nucleus renders it difficult of direct experimental approach, and our pres...

background: prediction of the absorbed dose in irradiated volume plays an important role in the outcome of radiotherapy. application of small fields for radiotherapy of thorax makes the dose calculation process inaccurate due to the existence of electronic disequilibrium and intrinsic deficiencies in dose calculation algorithms. to study the lung absorbed dose in radiotherapy with small fields,...

The axillary neurovascular structures are one of the potential anatomical fields to show variations in many ways. The axillary artery gets divided in three parts by the fore lying pectoralis minor and provides the superior thoracic artery from first part, thoraco-acromial artery, lateral thoracic artery from second part and the third part gives anterior circumflex humeral, posterior circumflex ...

PURPOSE Determining and improving the accuracy of patient positioning in pelvic fields. METHODS AND MATERIALS Small pelvic fields were studied in 16 patients treated for urological cancers using a three-field isocentric technique. Large pelvic fields were studied in 17 gynecological cancer patients treated with anterior and posterior (AP-PA) parallel opposed fields. Quantitative analysis of 6...

For small objects moving smoothly in space close to the observer, smooth pursuit and vergence eye movements maintain target images near the foveae to insure high-resolution processing of visual signals about moving objects. Signals for both systems must be synthesized for pursuit-in-three-dimensions (3D). Recent studies have shown that responses of the majority of pursuit neurons in the frontal...

The ability to actively locate potential threats in our environment is highly adaptive. To investigate mediating neural mechanisms, we designed a visual search task in which central cues signaled future location and emotional expression (angry or neutral) of a target face. Cues predicting angry targets accelerated subsequent attention shifts, indicating that endogenous signals predicting threat...

Both the frontal eye fields (FEFs) and supplementary eye fields (SEFs) are known to be involved in smooth pursuit eye movements. It has been shown recently that stimulation of the smooth-pursuit area of the FEF [frontal pursuit area (FPA)] in monkey increases the pursuit response to unexpected changes in target motion during pursuit. In the current study, we applied transcranial magnetic stimul...

The electrical machines had a lot of benefits upon the developments made in the last years in the powder material industry. This statement is well proven by the coming out in the last two decades of the transverse flux machines (TFM). The iron core of most of these machines is built of soft magnetic composite (SMC), which allows three-dimensional flux paths. In this paper measurements of a SMC ...

The quantification of wave polarization characteristics of ULF waves from the geomagnetic field variations is done under ‘a priori’ assumption that fields of internal induced currents are in-phase with the external inducing fields. Such approximation is invalidated in the regions marked by large lateral conductivity variations that perturb the flow pattern of induced currents. The amplitude and...
