It is well established that the near space immediately surrounding the body (also known as peripersonal space) is represented differently than the space farther away. When bisecting horizontal lines, for example, neurologically-healthy adults show a slight leftward bias (known as pseudoneglect) in near space; this attentional bias, however, transitions rightward in far space. Recent research ha...

It is proved that given H ≥ 0 and an embedded compact orientable constant mean curvature H surface M included in the half space z ≥ 0, not everywhere tangent to z = 0 along its boundary ∂M = γ ⊂ {z = 0}, the inequality H ≤ (min κ) ( min √ 1 − (κg/κ) ) is satisfied, where κ and κg are the geodesic curvatures of γ on z = 0 and on the surface M , respectively, if and only if M is a spherical cap o...

ST UK CONFERENCE 2006 1 1.0 INTRODUCTION Headphone modelling concerns the solution of a number of coupled problems centring on a small mechanical diaphragm vibrating in an enclosed space. Frequently, the electro-acoustic transduction mechanism is dynamic, and the transfer functions between electrical (v,i) and mechanical (F,u) quantities must be considered. These transfer functions will in part...

Histoplasma capsulatum was isolated from the spleen of a first infected mara (Dolichotis patagonum) and from a second mara's liver and adrenal gland, both in the same colony at the Africam Safari, Puebla, Mexico. Studies of H. capsulatum isolates, using nested-PCR of a 100-kDa protein coding gene (Hcp100) fragment and a two-primer RAPD-PCR method, suggest that these isolates were spreading in t...

The report titled, “Technical Note 1834: Development of a Test Method to Determine Carbon Monoxide Emission Rates from Portable Generators,” presents a test method developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for determining carbon monoxide (CO) emission rates from portable generators while operating in an enclosed space. NIST developed the test method under an interag...
