We studied the effect of cerebellar lesions on the 3-D control of the rotational vestibuloocular reflex (RVOR) to abrupt yaw-axis head rotation. Using search coils, three-dimensional (3-D) eye movements were recorded from nine patients with cerebellar disease and seven normal subjects during brief chair rotations (200 degrees /s(2) to 40 degrees /s) and manual head impulses. We determined the a...

ABSTRACT This article analyzes how niche parties may utilize a strategy of policy shifting to garner additional voters. It leverages unique opportunity in which Costa Rican political party released two different versions its manifesto at moments during single election cycle. rare uncovers the shifted from having hard conservative stance on social issues, such as abortion, moderating and centeri...

Summary Grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is the major cereal crop used as staple in arid and semi-arid regions of Ethiopia. Low yields are attributed to soil, climate topographic factors. We investigated yield response factorial combination nitrogen phosphorous (NP) well potassium (K), sulphur (S) zinc (Zn), how position farmers’ fields belonging different landscape positions (i.e., ...

We consider a discrete-continuum model of biomembrane with embedded particles. While the membrane is represented by continuous surface, particles are described rigid discrete objects which free to move and rotate in lateral direction. For we linearized Canham-Helfrich energy functional height slope boundary conditions imposed on particle boundaries resulting coupled minimization problem for sha...

While the Hubble constant can be derived from observable time delays between images of lensed quasars, the result is often highly sensitive to assumptions and systematic uncertainties in the lensing model. Unlike most previous authors we put minimal restrictions on the radial profile of the lens and allow for non-elliptical lens potentials. We explore these effects using a broad class of models...
