The sphere S contains a simple family of constant mean curvature (CMC) hypersurfaces of the form Λp,q a ≡ S p(a)×Sq( √ 1− a) for p+ q+1 = n and a ∈ (0, 1) called the generalized Clifford hypersurfaces. This paper demonstrates that new, topologically non-trivial CMC hypersurfaces resembling a pair of neighbouring generalized Clifford tori connected to each other by small catenoidal bridges at a ...

A psychological refractory period (PRP) approach and the locus of slack logic were applied to examine the novel question of whether spatial translation processes can begin before the central bottleneck when effector or noneffector stimuli are processed from an egocentric (viewer-centered) perspective. In single tasks, trials requiring spatial translations were considerably slower than trials wi...

In this paper, flip bifurcations of homoclinic orbits in conservative reversible systems are analysed. In such systems, orbit-flip and inclination-flip bifurcations occur simultaneously. It is shown that multi-pulses either do not bifurcate at all at flip bifurcation points or else bifurcate simultaneously to both sides of the bifurcation point. An application to a fifth-order model of water wa...

We present a review of the development of long-period fiber grating devices for application in optical communication. The recent studies on the realization of long-period gratings in optical planar waveguides are also highlighted.

There is considerable lay discussion that children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have increased difficulty with multitasking, but there are few experimental data. In the current study, we examine the simultaneous processing of two stimulus-response tasks using the Psychological Refractory Period (PRP) effect. We hypothesized that children with ADHD would show a greater PR...

today, there are a few dozens of historical index houses in the city sabzevar. reviews show that up until now, despite the presence of their special characteristics, variety and role, there have not been comprehensive studies about them but through the presence of valuable samples from various historical periods (teymouri, safavid, qajar, pahlavi), their exposure to destruction through changing...

abstract flood is among phenomena which result considerable damages to resources and is a serious issue among hydrologists. the proper estimation of runoff is necessary for designating appropriate approaches for its control or optimal management. various problems have been reported in application of empirical models. the regional analysis of runoff with different return periods by applying wate...

abstract today, pottery in shahreza of isfahan is a valuable arts with its up and downs which has stabilized  its place among iranian pottery centers. the investigation of contemporary pottery in the course of  history shows that iranian potters have used predecessors' experiences, as well as remained  professions of pottery art such as soheili, bahari and fakhar, and tried to promote qual...
