Mice in advanced scrapie characteristically clasp their hindlegs together. As the disease progresses into the clasping stage, mice exhibit a sequence of identifiable hindleg reactions which have categorized and assigned relative scores permitting objective, quantitative evaluation of disease.

Using the light ladder basis for Kuperberg's C2 webs, we derive triple clasp formulas idempotents projecting to top summand in each tensor product of fundamental representations. We then find explicit coefficients occurring clasps, by computing these as local intersection forms. Our provide further evidence Elias's conjecture, which was given type A and suggests how generalize conjecture non-si...

Abstract The study of natural and human-made processes often results in long sequences temporally-ordered values, aka time series (TS). Such consist multiple states, e.g. operating modes a machine, such that state changes the observed result distribution shape measured values. Time segmentation (TSS) tries to find TS post-hoc deduce data-generating process. TSS is typically approached as an uns...

Answer Set Programming (ASP) features effective optimization capacities based on branch-andbound algorithms. Unlike this, in the area of Satisfiability Testing (SAT) the finding of minimum unsatisfiable cores was put forward as an alternative approach to solving Maximum Satisfiability (MaxSAT) problems. We explore this alternative approach to optimization in the context of ASP. To this end, we ...

BACKGROUND The relation between the pattern of local anaesthetic (LA) spread and the quality of peripheral nerve block is unclear. METHODS Twenty-one volunteers were randomized to receive a median nerve block with intended circumferential or intended non-circumferential spread of LA. Different predetermined volumes and needle placement techniques were used to produce the different patterns of...

This paper presents the effect of centrifugal load in functionally graded (FG) hollow sphere subjected to uniform magnetic field. Analytical solution for stresses and perturbation of the magnetic field vector are determined using the direct method and the power series method. The material stiffness, the magnetic permeability and the density vary continuously across the thickness direction accor...

The neural control of the clasp reflex in male Xenopus laevis has been studied by using anatomical, electrophysiological, and biochemical techniques. Neurons in spinal segment 2 of castrated males accumulate label after injection of [3H]-dihydrotestosterone; these neurons are distributed within the rostral portions of the motoneuronal pools of the sternoradialis and flexor carpi radialis muscle...

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the stress distribution in the critical components of the removable partial denture the cast clasps. Materials andmethod:The three-dimensional models of the clasps were generated using three-dimensional measurements and investigated during loading, using the finite element stress analysis. Results:Although the loading influences the stressdi...
