Estimates of the moments of inertia of Titan, as separately deduced from its gravitational field and spin pole orientation, are quite different. This discrepancy can be resolved if Titan is either not precessing as a rigid body (e.g. if the shell is decoupled from the interior by an ocean), or if the spin pole is not fully damped (e.g. due to atmospheric excitation). By the end of the Cassini m...

The dynamic behavior of microtubules in solution can be strongly modified by interactions with walls or other structures. We examine here a microtubule growth model where the increase in size of the plus-end is perturbed by collisions with other microtubules. We show that such a simple mechanism of constrained growth can induce ordered structures and patterns from an initially isotropic and hom...

Orientational effects in rotationally elastic collisions of OH with Ar were studied in a crossed molecular beam setup. A static electric field was applied to orient the molecules before the collision. After the collision the orientation was measured by using a narrow-band laser system to probe the Stark-split states corresponding to different orientations. Differential and integral cross sectio...

This letter argues for an understanding of Darwinian feminism that is rooted in the contemporary intersectional feminist theorizing that seeks to represent historically marginalized groups in an inclusive, non-marginalized manner. To this end, a feminist approach to sexual orientation is presented and detailed, with a historical example of such an approach that already existed within behavioral...

the main idea of this paper is to present application of stereo vision approach to determine position and orientation of end-effector of mechanical manipulators. Stereo vision is a technique based on inferring depth of an object from two cameras. A stereo vision test set up that is made of two parallel CMOS cameras is provided and USB port is used to transmit image data to the computer. Experim...

The development of both long-range intracortical and interhemispheric connections depends on visual experience. Previous experiments showed that in strabismic but not in normal cats, clustered horizontal axon projections preferentially connect cell groups activated by the same eye. This indicates that there is selective stabilization of fibers between neurons exhibiting correlated activity. Ext...
