This paper entails the study of the pulsed-jet propulsion inspired by cephalopods in the frame of underwater bioinspired robotics. This propulsion routine involves a sequence of consecutive cycles of inflation and collapse of an elastic bladder, which, in the robotics artefact developed by the authors, is enabled by a cable-driven actuation of a deformable shell composed of rubber-like material...

BACKGROUND AND AIM Rectus muscle insertions are usually linear or slight curved with the anterior convexity. While operating squint surgeries, we found a presence of ridge-like structure at the medial rectus insertion. None of the other rectus muscle insertions had such structure. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients undergoing squint surgery were included in the study. All the patients had negativ...

This paper presents a new method for solving di erential algebraic equation systems using a mixed symbolic and numeric approach Discretization formu lae representing the numerical integration algorithm are symbolically inserted into the di erential algebraic equation model The symbolic formulae manipulation algorithm of the model translator treats these additio nal equations in the same way as ...

Cellular activation, proliferation and survival in chronic inflammatory diseases is regulated not only by engagement of signal trans-duction pathways that modulate transcription factors required for these processes, but also by epigenetic regulation of transcription factor access to gene promoter regions. Histone acetyl transferases coordinate the recruitment and activation of transcription fac...

Linear logic provides a framework to control the complexity of higher-order functional programs. We present an extension of this frameworkto programs with multithreading and side effects focusing on the case ofelementary time. Our main contributions are as follows. First, we providea new combinatorial proof of termination in elementary time for the func-tional case. Seco...

here have been few attempts to model the demand for factors of pro-JL duction at a sub-national level, even though the main emphasis of regional policy in most countries has been an attempt to increase the demand for labour and capital through the availability of factor subsidies. Estimates of the parameters of production functions are more readily available with regard to the US and Japanese r...

The media imperialism thesis is the most widespread systemic account of cultural globalization. This is in spite of the fact that various ethnographic studies of culture consumption continue to produce evidence that shows that the predictions derived from this approach are not consistent with what is observed. In‐ stead of homogeneity of consumption, we find diversity of interpretat...

Twenty-five cases of blowout fracture were treated at Yamaguchi University hospital between 1981 and 1984. Eighteen cases were male and seven cases were female. Chief complaints and major symptoms were diplopia, disturbance in eyeball movement and disturbance of vison. Sinus-x-ray examination by occipito-frontal view, Waters' view and occipito-frontal polytomography were recommended for precise...

Conifers contain ascorbic acid which is probably a protective against oxidative attacks. In yellow needles of damaged conifers the ascorbic acid content is increased, this suggests an in­ duction by air pollutants and/or photooxidants of a protection mechanism in trees. To study this mechanism in more detail, a green cell suspension culture of spruce (Picea abies) has been established. These ce...
