The geotropic conduct of young rats has been discussed in a previous paper (Crozier and Pincus, 1926-27) with special reference to the angle of orientation upon an inclined plane. It was found that the angle of orientation (0) is directly proportional to the logarithm of the gravitational component (g sin ~) in the creeping plane. This is explicable as the result of the distribution of the pull...

In this paper methodology to exploit creeping wave for body area network BAN communication reliability are described. Creeping wave propagation effects are visualized & analyzed. During this work Dipole, IA antennas various antennas were redesigned using existing designs and their propagation characteristics were verified for optimum performance when used on BANs. These antennas were then appli...

1 Correction to the Airy Approximation In Ref..1] and especially in Franz and Galle 2] one can nd correction terms to order O((ka) ?5=3) to the standard Airy approximation of the zeros l of the Hankel function H (1) (ka) in the complex-plane 1 : l = ka + e ii=3 (ka)

Lineage-specific gene loss is considered one of the processes contributing to speciation and genome diversity. Such gene loss has been inferred from interspecies comparisons of orthologous DNA segments. Examples of intraspecific gene loss are rare. Here we report identification of a gene, designated Crs-1 (creeping specific-1), that appears to be in the process of being lost from heterozygous p...

On an inclined glass plate the slug Agriolimax orients and creeps upward or downward. The angle of orientation on the plane (theta) is proportional to the logarithm of the component of gravity in the creeping plane. The coefficient of variability of the measured values of (theta) decreases linearly as the logarithm at the gravity component in the creeping plane increases. The cosine of the angl...

The planting of 162 ha of transgenic glyphosate-resistant creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera) near Madras, OR, USA, allowed a unique opportunity to study gene flow over time from a perennial outcrossing species at the landscape level. While conducting a four year in situ survey, we collected panicles and leaf tissue samples from creeping bentgrass and its sexually compatible species. Seed...

Grass selections including 10 zoysiagrasses, 18 paspalums, 34 Bermuda grasses, tall fescue, creeping red fescue, and perennial ryegrasses with andwithout endophyte were evaluated for potential resistance to fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith), larvae. Laboratory evaluations assessed the degree of antibiosis among 70 grass lines to Þrst-instar fall armyworms. When all parametersme...

This paper presents a method of dynamic compensation of creeping and drifting error of load cell response using Adaptive technique. The case is illustrated by showing how the response of a load cell can be improved. The load cell is a sensor, whose output gives an damped oscillatory response due to creeping and drifting error, in which the measured values contribute to the response parameter. S...
