We bound the geodesic residual finiteness growths of closed hyperbolic manifolds that immerse totally geodesically in non-compact right-angled reflection orbifolds, extending work of the fourth author from the compact case. We describe a rich class of arithmetic examples to which this result applies, and apply the theorem to give effective bounds on the geodesic residual finiteness growths of m...

Solar sensor nodes equipped with micro-solar subsystems [1] provide a novel approach to harvest ambient energy, which partially alleviated the energy-limitation in traditional wireless sensor networks. However, it also poses new challenges that the amounts of energy harvested by nodes are dynamic and unbalanced among them thus network life cannot be necessarily prolonged if no well-designed ene...

OBJECTIVES This study was conducted to evaluate the long term clinical and electrophysiological outcome by recording the H reflex in a consecutive series of six patients treated by selective tibial neurotomy for spastic equinus foot. METHOD The amplitudes of Hmax reflexes, Mmax responses, and Hmax:Mmax ratio were recorded in six patients with chronic lower limb spasticity, before and after su...

Background: The disorder of reflex and motor function in patients affected by stroke causes negative impact on the performance of movement patterns and affects the functional activities. Objectives: To investigate the immediate effects of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and cryotherapy interventions on the spinal reflex excitability and in the voluntary electromyography (EMG)...

Two-dimensional potential flow of the ideal incompressible fluid with free surface and infinite depth can be described by a conformal map of the fluid domain into the complex lower half-plane. Stokes wave is the fully nonlinear gravity wave propagating with the constant velocity. The increase of the scaled wave height H/λ from the linear limit H/λ = 0 to the critical value Hmax/λ marks the tran...

To respond appropriately to objects, we must process visual inputs rapidly and assign them meaning. This involves highly dynamic, interactive neural processes through which information accumulates and cognitive operations are resolved across multiple time scales. However, there is currently no model of object recognition which provides an integrated account of how visual and semantic informatio...

The objective of this study was to determine the upper thermal limits of Arctic cod Boreogadus saida by measuring the response of maximum heart rate (f(Hmax)) to acute warming. One set of fish were tested in a field laboratory in Cambridge Bay (CB), Nunavut (north of the Arctic Circle), and a second set were tested after air transport to and 6 month temperature acclimation at the Vancouver Aqua...

Invasive plants can alter ecosystem properties, leading to changes in the ecosystem services on which humans depend. However, generalizing about these effects is difficult because invasive plants represent a wide range of life forms, and invaded ecosystems differ in their plant communities and abiotic conditions. We hypothesize that differences in traits between the invader and native species c...

27 The aim of this study was to determine how muscle activity and body orientation contribute to 28 the triceps surae spinal transmission modulation, when moving from a sitting to a standing 29 position. Maximal H-reflex (Hmax) and motor potential (Mmax) were evoked in the soleus 30 (SOL), medial and lateral gastrocnemius in 10 male subjects and in three conditions: passive 31 sitting, upright ...
