Suppose a genus two handlebody is removed from a 3manifold M and then a single meridian of the handlebody is restored. The result is a knot or link complement in M and it is natural to ask whether geometric properties of the link complement say something about the meridian that was restored. Here we consider what the relation must be between two not necessarily disjoint meridians so that restor...

Objective. To observe the dermal microcirculation blood perfusion characterization of meridians channels (acupoints). Methods. 20 healthy human subjects were monitored using Pericam Perfusion Speckle Imager (PSI) for the changes in dermal microcirculation blood perfusion on governor meridian and other respective dermal regions as a control. Result. The microcirculation blood perfusion on Govern...

An integrated use of two measurement methods can detect medically diagnosable health conditions. The combination of PQC and EAV give information about the current individual conditioned healthregulation of the patient. This combination uses the position of so-called wholeness in life. The point of view of sustainability is addressed on meridians. Findings result is a functional assessment of th...

Earth's spin axis has been wandering along the Greenwich meridian since about 2000, representing a 75° eastward shift from its long-term drift direction. The past 115 years have seen unequivocal evidence for a quasi-decadal periodicity, and these motions persist throughout the recent record of pole position, in spite of the new drift direction. We analyze space geodetic and satellite gravimetri...

We present a numerical study of the shape taken by a spherical elastic surface when the volume it encloses is decreased. For the range of 2D parameters where such a surface may model a thin shell of an isotropic elastic material, the mode of deformation that develops a single depression is investigated in detail. It occurs via buckling from sphere toward an axisymmetric dimple, followed by a se...

For normal sighted observers visual performance is often superior on the principal meridians than on the oblique. There has been no clear consensus on whether disruption of the visual system affects performance on orientation sensitivity tasks. Here we compare the abilities of normally sighted subjects tested monocularly, subjects with one eye enucleated and strabismic subjects using the non-de...
