in 50 subjects with a modification that allowed the completeness of recovery of the maximal gastric secretion to be assessed. The effects of the exact position of the tube and the position of the subject on the completeness of recovery were investigated. A simple water-recovery test was found to be as reliable as fluoroscopy for showing that the tip of the tube was within the stomach. Provided ...

Exact analytical formulae are derived for the potential and mass ratio as a function of Lagrangian points position, in the classical Roche model of the close binary stars. Subject headings: stars: rotation—binaries: close

in contemporary texts of islamic logic, the “subject-obversion” has been introduced as a rule on basis of which one can replace the subject term of a categorical proposition with its complement and change both quality and quantity of the proposition. thus from an a-proposition such as “all a is b”, one can infer “some not-a is not b”. well, let’s take that a is included by b but not vice versa,...

Because of the use of scattering based communication channels, passivity based telemanipulation systems can be subject to a steady state position error between master and slave robots. In this paper, we consider the case in which the passive master and slave sides communicate through a packet switched communication channel (e.g. Internet) and we provide a modification of the slave impedance con...

We prove that a pushing-block puzzle called PUSHPUSH-k is PSPACE-complete for any fixed k ≥ 1. In this puzzle, a robot moves on a finite grid. Each grid position is either empty or occupied by a single obstacle block. While moving, the robot may push obstacle blocks in direction of its movement, subject to certain constraints. In particular, once an obstacle block starts moving, it continues to...

We investigate the impact of nonaxisymmetric structure on estimates of galaxy inclinations and position angles. A new minimization technique is used to obtain estimates of inclination and position angle from a global fit to either photometric or kinematic data. We discuss possible systematic uncertainties which are much larger than statistical uncertainties. Our investigation reveals that syste...

Quantum systems in which the position and momentum take values in the ring Zd and which are described with d-dimensional Hilbert space, are considered. When d is the power of a prime, the position and momentum take values in the Galois field GF (p), the position-momentum phase space is a finite geometry and the corresponding ‘Galois quantum systems’ have stronger properties. The study of these ...

The reconstruction effects1 of arguments have been discussed extensively in the literature. The theory developed in Mahajan 1990 addresses Hindi scrambling and accounts for reconstruction effects of arguments. The core of that theory is that scrambling is properly factored into three distinct types of movement: (i) A-movement to the SPEC position of a functional head, called Argument Shift, (ii...

We consider the uncertainty relation between position and momentum of a particle on S (a circle). Since S is compact, the uncertainty of position must be bounded. Consideration on the uncertainty of position demands delicate treatment. Recently Ohnuki and Kitakado have formulated quantum mechanics on S (a D-dimensional sphere). Armed with their formulation, we examine this subject. We also cons...
