A "sensory conflict" model of spatial orientation was developed. This mathematical model was based on concepts derived from observer theory, optimal observer theory, and the mathematical properties of coordinate rotations. The primary hypothesis is that the central nervous system of the squirrel monkey incorporates information about body dynamics and sensory dynamics to develop an internal mode...

Gastrointestinal nematodes are a major cause of disease in grazing livestock; however, individual animals differ in their response to infection. To identify genes whose expression correlates with resistance status, transcriptional profiling of resistant and susceptible sheep was undertaken. Transcription profiles were taken at three time points during the growth of lambs. The number of genes di...

131I-Labeledgoat immunoglobulin G (IgG) prepared against carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) was administered at an aver age dose of 1.0 mCi (180 to 250 @glgG protein) to patients with ovarian tumors in order to evaluate this method of tumor detection and localization , termed the radioimmunodetection of cancer. All primary cancers in 13 patients could be localized, whereas the metastases in six of ...

Underwater acoustic sensor networks (UASNs) have become a hot research topic. In UASNs, nodes can be affected by ocean currents and external forces, which could result in sudden link disruption. Therefore, designing a flexible and efficient link disruption restoration mechanism to ensure the network connectivity is a challenge. In the paper, we propose a glider-assisted restoration mechanism wh...
