Extensive research has resulted in mesoporous materials with one-dimensional, cage-like and bi-continuous pore structures. Three families of bi-continuous mesoporous materials have been made, with two interwoven but unconnected ...

The classic model of saccade generation assumes that the burst generator is driven by a motor-error signal, the difference between the actual eye position and the final "desired" eye position in the orbit.
