In some short circuit studies, the X/R ratio is ignored when comparing the short circuit rating of the equipment to the available fault current at the equipment. What is not always realized is that when lowvoltage gear is tested, it is tested at a certain X/R ratio. The X/R ratio is important because it determines the peak asymmetrical fault current. The asymmetrical fault current can be much l...

A 59 year old woman presented with an atypical parkinsonian syndrome with clinical and neuroimaging features of corticobasal syndrome (CBS) and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). CBS manifestations were slurred/scanning speech and asymmetrical right signs: levitation phenomena, pseudo-hemiparetic gait and hypertonia/hyperreflexia. PSP signs were staring face and oculomotor apraxia. Neuroimag...

Symmetrically connected recurrent networks have recently been used as models of a host of neural computations. However, biological neural networks have asymmetrical connections, at the very least because of the separation between excitatory and inhibitory neurons in the brain. We study characteristic differences between asymmetrical networks and their symmetrical counterparts in cases for which...

By setting out arrays of potted plants of Penstemon strictus, I tested whether freely foraging bumblebee (Bombus spp.) workers would establish regular foraging routes that reflected the geometry of the array. They did, passing through an asymmetrical array in a pattern that minimized interplant flight distances. After the array was changed to a symmetrical pattern, however, the experienced bees...

Asymmetric capacities across nations are a persistent reality in the global economy, but little is known about how people respond to these disparities. We provide first experimental evidence on phenomenon of asymmetrical fairness trade preferences. find that opinion divides over relative economic capacity partner: Citizens treat smaller and less developed economies very differently trade, even ...

abstractin the present study, attempt has been made to examine the effectiveness of peer and teacher scaffolding in reading comprehension of intermediate efl students in symmetrical and asymmetrical groups. to do so, sixty intermediate students were purposively selected out of 150 intermediate students in hamadan islamic azad university and kish language institute in hamadan. they were divided ...
