We studied the spatial characteristics of 45 vestibular-only (VO) and 12 vestibular-plus-saccade (VPS) neurons in two cynomolgus monkeys using angular rotation and static tilt. The purpose was to determine the contribution of canal and otolith-related inputs to central vestibular neurons whose activity is associated with the central velocity storage integrator. Lateral canal-related neurons res...

We report on the first fabrication of ~In,Ga!As/GaAs quantum dots with both vertical and lateral ordering forming a three-dimensional array. An investigation of the photoluminescence spectra from the ordered array of quantum dots, as a function of both temperature and optical excitation intensity, reveals both a lateral and vertical transfer of excitation. © 2003 American Institute of Physics. ...

This article reports the development of (a) vertical and (b) lateral diamond vacuum field emission devices with excellent field emission characteristics. These diamond field emission devices, diode and triode, were fabricated using a self-aligning gate formation technique from silicon-on-insulator wafers using conventional siliconmicropatterning and etching techniques. High emission current N0....

Field observations of the incurred damages to the buildings and bridges due to earthquakes in near field show there are various failure modes which are in relation to the forces caused by vertical component. While vertical component of earthquake for ordinary buildings in most seismic regulations and standards is not considered. Therefore, in the current study the effects of vertical and horizo...

Tuning localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) is crucial for practical applications of two-dimensional Ag nanoplates (AgNPs) and relies on the precise control of their lateral length or/and thickness. In the present seed-mediated synthetic method, by taking advantage of underpotential deposition (UPD) of Cu on the (111) surfaces of AgNPs, a solely lateral growth of AgNPs was achieved when C...

The linguistic metaphors of time appear to influence how people gesture about time. This study finds that Chinese English bilinguals produce more vertical gestures when talking about Chinese time references with vertical spatial metaphors than (1) when talking about time conceptions in the English translations, and (2) when talking about Chinese time references with no spatial metaphors. Additi...
