We study the large-time behavior of systems driven by radial potentials, which react to anticipated positions, \(\mathbf{x}^\tau (t)=\mathbf{x}(t)+\tau \mathbf{v}(t)\), with anticipation increment \(\tau >0\). As a special case, such yield celebrated Cucker–Smale model for alignment, coupled pairwise interactions. Viewed from this perspective, anticipation-driven are expected emerge into flocki...

background: chondromalacia patella is the most common cause of mechanical knee pain in young women. q angle and knee alignment are important clinical parameters for biomechanics of the patellofemoral joint. objective: to identify the prevalence of knee malalignment and to find out if there is a correlation between knee mal alignment and q angle with age at onset of disease. methods: all patient...

The current study examined the acoustic modifications of the lexical pitch accent in Tokyo Japanese infant-directed speech (IDS), with the focus on the F0 fall delay, where the alignment of the F0 turning points associated with pitch accents were delayed with respect to the accented mora. The RIKEN MotherInfant Conversation Corpus (R-JMICC) [1] produced by 21 mothers from Tokyo area, was used t...

A closed fracture was performed on the left tibia of 3-month-old Wistar rats weighing 250 to 350 g that were either healthy (N = 24) or made diabetic with alloxan (N = 24) to investigate the effect of alloxan-induced diabetes on the course of bone fracture healing. Histomorphometric analysis of the fracture site was performed at 7, 14, 25, and 35 days. After 7 days, diabetic rats had significan...

Mesiodentes are the most common supernumerary teeth, occurring in 0.15% to 1.9% of the population. Given this high frequency, the general dentist should be knowledgeable about the signs and symptoms of mesiodentes and appropriate treatment. The cause of mesiodentes is not fully understood, although proliferation of the dental lamina and genetic factors have been implicated. Mesiodentes can caus...

Animal coordinated movement interactions are commonly explained by assuming unspecified social forces of attraction, repulsion and alignment with parameters drawn from observed movement data. Here we propose and test a biologically realistic and quantifiable biosonar movement interaction mechanism for echolocating bats based on spatial perceptual bias, i.e. actual sound field, a reaction delay,...
