Previous studies have identified a subset of neurons in the rat anterodorsal thalamus (ADN) that encode head direction (HD) in absolute space and may be involved in navigation. These HD cells discharge selectively when the rat points its head in a specific direction (the preferred firing direction) in the horizontal plane. HD cells are typically recorded during free movement about a single hori...

in common classical methods of cavity depth estimation through microgravity data, usually when a pre-geometrical model is considered for the cavity shape, the simple geometrical models of sphere, vertical cylinder and horizontal cylinder are commonly used. it is obviously an important fact that in real conditions the shapes of the cavities are not exactly sphere, horizontal cylinder or vertical...

Free convection cooling of isothermal circular cylinders positioned above a horizontal plane is investigated numerically, using a commercial Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software package. Computation is performed for high Rayleigh number, in the range 10 − 10. Chien’s turbulence model of low-Reynolds-number K-ε is used, with Prandtl number of 0.707, corresponding to air near standard cond...

The gas delivered from a cylinder of Entonox (50% nitrous oxide and 50% oxygen) may not contain adequate quantities of oxygen if the cylinder has been cooled and then allowed to warm up in a vertical position.The composition of gas delivered from cylinders cooled to not lower than -40 degrees C. remains unaltered if the cylinders are rewarmed for 24 hours in a horizontal position at a temperatu...

This problem was suggested by Bradley Klee. For the related case of one cylinder rolling inside another, see [1]. When one cylinder is directly above the other, we define the line of contact of the lower cylinder, 1, with the horizontal plane to be the z-axis, at x = y = 0. Then, the condition of rolling without slipping for the lower cylinder is that when it has rolled (positive) distance x1, ...

An analytical technique is proposed for estimation of the radiation pattern of inverted-F antenna (IFA) which is mounted on the side wall of a long cylinder. The method can be applied to describe the IFA radiation in a lot of practical cases. It is indicated that this radiation pattern is a combination of radiation patterns of a horizontal and a vertical small radiator, near the cylinder with a...

While equilibrium block-copolymer morphologies are dictated by energy-minimization effects, the semi-ordered states observed experimentally often depend on the details of ordering pathways and kinetics. Here, we explore reordering transitions in thin films of block-copolymer cylinder-forming polystyrene-block-poly(methyl methacrylate). We observe several transient states as films order towards ...

Experiments were conducted to obtain the modal damping ratios of two hollow cylinders of different thicknesses of Aluminum. An electro dynamic exciter with slip table is used to excite the hollow cylinders. The hollow cylinder (unit under test) is fastened to the exciter. The exciter is placed in the horizontal direction and connected to the slip table. A control accelerometer is placed at the ...
