The ability to imagine objects undergoing rotation (mental rotation) improves markedly with practice, but an explanation of this plasticity remains controversial. Some researchers propose that practice speeds up the rate of a general-purpose rotation algorithm. Others maintain that performance improvements arise through the adoption of a new cognitive strategy-repeated exposure leads to rapid r...

the effective factors of forward speed, cylinder rotation, and clearance between a combine’s cylinder and concave on wheat kernel breakage and seed germination were studied in karaj area using a 955 model john dear combine. this study was conducted on three levels of adjustment for each of the variables, 1.2, 1.8 and 2.5 km/hr for forward speed, 800, 900, 1000 rpm for cylinder rotation as well ...

Numbers are thought to be spatially organized along a left-to-right horizontal axis with small/large numbers on its left/right respectively. Behavioral evidence for this mental number line (MNL) comes from studies showing that the reallocation of spatial attention by active left/right head rotation facilitated the generation of small/large numbers respectively. While spatial biases in random nu...

BACKGROUND As for the surgical treatment of the rotator cuff tears, the subscapularis tendon tears have recently received much attention for the mini-open or arthroscopic repair. The results of surgical repair for the subscapularis tendon tear are satisfactory, but the range of external rotation is reported to be restricted after the repair. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the range o...

in order to investigating theeffects of  crop rotation and applying of herbicides on weed distribution in  irrigated wheat fields of kermanshah province, this study was performed during  2011-2012. multivariate analysis (rda) revealed the significant relationship between composition and species frequency and exerted management techniques. the first and second features of rda indicated 57%, 74.9...

In 1917 I called attention to an apparent systematic difference between the radial velocities of the gaseous nebulae in the northern and southern parts of the Large Magellanic Cloud, suggesting that this difference might result from a rotation of the cloud. In 1920 Hertzsprung proposed the simpler explanation, namely, “that all parts of the cloud are moving parallel and with the same speed in s...

abstract in order to evaluate the effects of rice conventional herbicides on rotational second crops (lettuce, cress, clover, canola and radish), soil microbial biomass and diversity, a field and glasshouse experiments were conducted in mazandaran province and research glasshouse of ferdowsi university of mashhad, respectively. five experiments were carried out for 5 second crop separately with...

This paper proposes a low cost and small size attitude and heading reference system based on MEMS inertial sensors. A dual-axis rotation structure with a proper rotary scheme according to the design principles is applied in the system to compensate for the attitude and heading drift caused by the large gyroscope biases. An optimization algorithm is applied to compensate for the installation ang...

This article describes the case of a 77-year-old man with a recurrent posterior shoulder dislocation, treated with humeral hemiarthroplasty and reconstruction of a large posteroinferior glenoid defect with a bone block created from humeral head autograft. On examination, the patient's left arm was held in internal rotation against his stomach, with minimal swelling about the deltoid. His should...

In Experiment 1, participants completed one of two versions of a computerized pointing direction task that used the same stimuli but different spatial transformation instructions. In the perspectivetaking version, participants were to imagine standing at one location facing a second location and then to imagine pointing to a third location. In the array-rotation version, participants saw a vect...
