This research incorporates the nature of head movement made in listening activities, into the development of a quasi-binaural acoustical measurement technique for the evaluation of spatial impression. A listening test was conducted where head movements were tracked whilst the subjects rated the perceived source width, envelopment, source direction and timbre of a number of stimuli. It was found...

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare head and neck alignment in children with visual and hearing impairments and its relation with anthropometrical parameters. Methods: The study was a descriptive, correlational analysis within which the relations between dependent and independent variables have been studied. Thirty children with poor vision, 30 children with hearing loss and fina...

There is increasing evidence that proximal femoral geometry has an important role in the aetiology of hip fractures. We performed a simple radiological study to investigate the relationship between proximal femoral geometry and intracapsular and extracapsular fractures of the proximal femur. Measurements of proximal femoral geometry were made on pelvic radiographs on the contralateral hip of 50...

Clarias serniosus, a new Southeast Asian walking-catfish species, is described from the Bolavens Plateau in southern Laos. The new species is a member of the C. batrachus species complex, and can be distinguished from congeners in the complex in having a combination of: occipital process length 15-17 % HL, head length 28.2-28.6% SL, head width 18.5-19.2% SL, head depth 13.0-13.7% SL, distance b...

During routine cadaveric dissection for the undergraduate students in the Department of Anatomy, we noted multiple muscular variations in a middle-aged male cadaver. All the variations were seen at the back of thigh (flexor compartment) of right lower limb. An anomalous muscle of 17 cm length with average width of 1.5 cm. was inserted to the semitendinosus, a third head of biceps femoris of 6.5...

We report a new record of Eremotermes neoparadoxalis from Haryana, India. Silvestri, 1911 is highly dispersed genus epitomized by 10 species, six which have been reported in India, including E. paradoxalis Harayana. Taxonomic descriptions provided with illustrations general morphology and measurements body length, head length without mandibles, pigmentation, antennae segments, tibial spur, tars...

The energy-momentum tensor of a supersonic heavy quark jet moving through a strongly-coupled N = 4 SYM plasma is analyzed in terms of first-order Navier-Stokes hydrodynamics. We focus on the near zone “head” region close to the heavy quark where deviations from hydrodynamic behavior are expected to be large. For realistic quark velocities, v = 0.99, we find that the non-hydrodynamical head regi...

Sperm head morphology has been identified as a characteristic that can be used to predict a male's semen quality. In the present study, we have developed an automated sperm head morphology analysis (ASMA) plug-in for open-source ImageJ software (http://rsbweb.nih.gov/ij/). We describe the plug-in's functionality, and confirm its validity for sperm head morphology analysis using fish sperm. Sper...
