The errors in plate motion azimuths inferred from shear wave splitting beneath any one tectonic plate are shown to be correlated with the errors of other azimuths from the same plate. To account for these correlations, we adopt a two-tier analysis: First, find the pole of rotation and confidence limits for each plate individually. Second, solve for the best fit to these poles while constraining...

When both B and B̄ can decay to the same final state composed of two vectors, the interference between them and those among three polarization states result in intricate phenomena. In this note we derive the time and angular distributions for general B → VaVb processes in a form convenient for actual analyses. We then apply them to specific examples and clarify the CP violating parameters obtain...

"We consider the motion of a viscous imcompressible fluid past rotating rigid body in three-dimensional, where translational and angular velocities are prescribed but time-dependent. In reference frame attached to body, we have non-autonomous Oseen-Navier-Stokes equations fixed exterior domains. We prove existence stability bounded mild solutions time t ONSE three-dimensional domains when coeff...

Lamb waves are dispersive in a plate and elastic properties of anisotropic materials are dependent on the crystal orientation. It is expected that the wave propagation on a thin anisotropic plate is complex due to dispersion of Lamb waves which will be dependent on the propagation direction. Therefore it is essential to understand elastic waves in an anisotropic plate. In the present work, a si...

OBJECTIVE To characterize kinematically any systematic aberration in multi-joint movements in cerebellar ataxia. METHODS Nine patients with cerebellar degeneration and nine normal subjects, mobile only at the shoulder and elbow of the right arm, were required to produce left-to-right cross-body linear hand trajectories on the horizontal surface of a digitizing tablet. Nonlinearity indicated f...

Path following controller, designed according to the principle of following a virtual robot, for a gyroscopically stabilized single-wheeled robot (gyrobot) is presented in this paper. Linear and angular velocities of the virtual robot are pre-computed such that it follows the desired path. These velocities also constitute the feed-forward component of the reference velocities for the gyrobot. T...

The aim of this study was to examine the long-term effects of static stretching of the plantar-flexor muscles on eccentric and concentric torque and ankle dorsiflexion range of motion in healthy subjects. Seventy five healthy male volunteers, with no previous history of trauma to the calf that required surgery, absence of knee flexion contracture and no history of neurologic dysfunction or dise...

The problem of concentric pervious spheres carrying a fluid source at their centre and rotating slowly with different uniform angular velocities Ω1, Ω2 about a diameter has been studied. The analysis reveals that only azimuthal component of velocity exists, and the couple, rate of dissipated energy is found analytically in the present situation. The expression of couple on inner sphere rotating...

The intrasubject variability of the angular kinematics of the wrist and elbow joints in the tennis forehand drive were studied. Two varsity tennis players were filmed as they performed flat forehand drives. The DLT method of 3-D reconstruction was used to measure the angular motion of the upper extremity for eight strokes to assess the intrasubject variability of selected kinematic variables. C...
