During upward geotropic orientation upon a vertical plate the slug Agriolimax creeps vertically, in darkness. Horizontal light from one side produces orientation of dark-adapted slugs away from the vertical path, through an angle (beta). The magnitude of this angle is a function of the light intensity and of time. The moderately rapid course of light adaptation is followed by measurements of be...

In the evaluation of half-life neutrinoless double-$\ensuremath{\beta}$ decay ($0\ensuremath{\nu}\ensuremath{\beta}\ensuremath{\beta}$) a doubly closed-subshell nucleus $^{96}\mathrm{Zr}$, structure $^{96}\mathrm{Mo}$ is essentially important. The $\ensuremath{\alpha}$-clustering aspects are investigated for first time. By studying nuclear rainbows in $\ensuremath{\alpha}$ scattering from $^{92...

PURPOSE To assess associations of the trans-lamina cribrosa pressure difference (TLCPD) with glaucomatous optic neuropathy. METHODS The population-based Central India Eye and Medical Study included 4711 subjects. Based on a previous study with lumbar cerebrospinal fluid pressure (CSFP) measurements, CSFP was calculated as CSFP[mmHg] = 0.44 Body Mass Index[kg/m2]+0.16 Diastolic Blood Pressure[...

background: abnormal angulation of the lunate can be an indication of intercarpal pathology. on magnetic resonance images (mris) the lunate often looks dorsally angulated, even in healthy wrists. the tilt on individual slices can also be different and might be misinterpreted as pathological, contributing to inaccurate diagnoses and unnecessary surgery. the primary aim of this study was to deter...

STUDY DESIGN An anatomic study of facet angle orientation and morphology of the lumbar spine was performed. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine how age, gender, race, and pelvic incidence (PI) correlate with facet orientation in the lumbar spine. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Lumbar facet orientation has important implications in the development of numerous pathologies of the spin...

conclusions although some of the orthopedic surgeons are not interested to manage these fractures surgically and most of them treat these cases conservatively (casting, etc.), in most displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures, surgical treatment is the method of choice. moreover, in non-surgical treatment the prevalence of these complications among the patients is more and as a result, inev...

When beta-pleated sheets pack face to face in proteins, the angle between the strand directions of the two beta-sheets is observed to be near -30 degrees . We propose a simple model for beta-sheet-to-beta-sheet packing in concanavalin A, plastocyanin, gamma-crystallin, superoxide dismutase, prealbumin, and the immunoglobin fragment V(REI). This model shows how the observed relative orientation ...
