 Abstract Background: Several studies have examined the reflex response of ankle musculature to sudden inversion in noninjured and injured subjects. To date, there have been no studies to determine the effect of versatile degrees & conditions of perturbation on the ankle musculature latency.

The oblique effect-poorer performance when contours are in oblique meridians-is here extended from the discrimination of line-orientation to the tilt illusion and to the detection and contextual induction of curvature. The distinction is made between a contour's susceptibility to contextual perturbation and its capacity to induce such perturbation, for which the oblique effect is only about one...

The gravity-driven flow of a liquid film down an inclined wall with three-dimensional doubly periodic corrugations is investigated in the limit of vanishing Reynolds number. The film surface may exhibit constant or variable surface tension due to an insoluble surfactant. A perturbation analysis for small-amplitude corrugations is performed, wherein the wall geometry is expressed as a Fourier se...

It has been pointed out by Weining Kang and Ruth Williams that there is an error in an argument in [1]. The purpose of this note is to correct the argument. The error affects only Case 2 of the paper, and occurs in the first display at the top of page 580, at the end of the proof of Theorem 5.1. This display claims that a certain bound follows from (3.28) of the paper, and implicitly assumes th...

An attached oblique shock wave is generated when a sharp solid projectile flies supersonically in the air. We study the linear stability of oblique shock waves in steady supersonic flow under three dimensional perturbation in the incoming flow. Euler system of equations for isentropic gas model is used. The linear stability is established for shock front with supersonic downstream flow, in addi...
