1. The discharge of peripheral otolith neurons in response to sinusoidal force variations was investigated in the barbiturate-anesthetized squirrel monkey (Saimiri sciureus). The sine waves were superimposed on a background force which biased the end organ so as to excite or inhibit the unit's firing. Both regularly and irregularly discharging neurons were studied. 2. The response amplitude, me...

In the present paper, discrete element method (DEM) is used to study wave propagation phenomenon in granular soils. The effect of factors such as coefficient of friction, frequency, normal stiffness and soil gradation on the wave velocity is studied. Using the wall motion based on the sinusoidal function is the method of loading used in this simulation, through which the pressure wave is transf...

Static characteristics of baroreceptors differ depending on whether receptors are connected to myelinated or unmyelinated axons (MBs and UBs) and whether they come from normotensive or spontaneously hypertensive rats (NTRs and SHRs). Dynamic characteristics are incompletely known and were examined using an in vitro rat aortic arch-aortic nerve preparation in which static characteristics are sim...

Multilevel inverter has so many advantages than conventional two level inverter. As the number of level increases the output approaches to a pure sinusoidal wave.Multilevel inverter using both fundamental frequency switching and higher frequency switching. In this paper discuss only about higher frequency switching.In higher frequency switching we are using two signals, one is reference signal ...

Background: The incomplete maturation of brain in preterm children results in long-term neurodevelopmental impairment. This study aimed to investigate the static balance function in children with a history of preterm birth. Methods: Participants were 31 preterm children including 21 moderately preterm (MPT), 10 very preterm (VPT), and 20 term children aged 5.5 and 6.5 years. The cervical ves...

The potentiality of millimter-wave (mm-wave) double-drift region (DDR) impact avalanche transit time (IMPATT) diodes based on a wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductor material, Gallium Phosphide (GaP) has been explored in this paper. A non-sinusoidal voltage excited (NSVE) large-signal simulation method has been used to study the DC and high frequency characteristics of DDR GaP IMPATTs dsigned to ope...
