Deception—a fundamental aspect of human communication—often is accompanied by the simulation of unfelt emotions or the concealment of genuine emotions to correspond to the false message. We investigated the consequences of extremely high-stakes emotional deception on the engagement of particular facial muscles, posited by Darwin [Darwin, C. (1872/2005). The expression of the emotions in man and...

The paper discusses the role of the intermediate boundary condition in the AF2 scheme used by Holst for simulation of the transonic full potential equation. We show that the treatment suggested by Holst led to a restriction on the time step and suggest ways to overcome this restriction. The discussion is based on the theory developed by Gustafsson, Kreiss, and Sundstrom and also on the von Neum...

Cyclarhis gujanensis is a little bird which feeds on high number of large preys, such frogs, lizards, snakes, bats and birds. As there are few studies on the cranial anatomy of this species, we aimed to describe the cranial myology to contribute to the anatomical knowledge of this species and to make some assumptions about functional anatomy. Thus, we described the muscles from the jaw apparatu...

In six inbred dogs with neonatally-induced coarctation hypertension, and in seven littermate controls, acute responses of proximal arterial pressure and plasma renin activity (PRA) to converting enzyme inhibitor (CEI; SQ 20,881, 0.5 mg/kg i.v.) were serially examined. Studies were performed at 2, 6, and 12 months post-aortic banding under sodium-replete and -deplete conditions. Both in normoten...

HE genetic factor responsible for the depression of the frequency of streptomycin-resistance transformations in Pneumococcus was first studied by GREEN (1959). He found that when Rx cells are exposed to a DNA transforming preparation (TP) containing genetic markers for erythromycin resistance and streptomycin resistance, approximately identical frequencies of transformation by both markers are ...

Background: To study the clinical profile of neonates with respiratory distress.
 Methods: A prospective was conducted on 100 cases. Term, pre-term and post-term babies both in-borns out-borns cases were included in study.
 Results: The majority 85.00% presented increased rate, chest drawings. had flaring alae nasi.
 Conclusion: Increased rate along drawing, nasi are presentation...

The hind legs of Issus (Hemiptera, Issidae) move in the same plane underneath the body, an arrangement that means they must also move synchronously to power jumping. Moreover, they move so quickly that energy must be stored before a jump and then released suddenly. High speed imaging and analysis of the mechanics of the proximal joints of the hind legs show that mechanical mechanisms ensure bot...
