An approximate numerical^graphical solution was made for the motion of a human aortic valve leaflet in a meridional plane through the center of the sinus of Vabalva. The observed buckling, whipping action of the leaflet was obtained. Of primary significance in the results was the location and the determination of the maximum curvature of the leaflet in this plane, since this point corresponds t...

the family eurytomidae includes economically important wasps, which feed on the seeds of various agricultural, horticultural and rangeland plants. this report is part of a survey conducted during 2009-2012 to identify the seed-eating pests of non-legume rangeland plants in the fars province of iran. the eurytomid species systole eremodauci zerova, 1994 was collected on ammoniacum plant, dorema ...

Anesthetized dogs were artificially cooled to temperatures at which a marked prolongation of systole was observed. Under these conditions, it was possible to identify undulations in pressure during the prolonged systole without confusion with incisural pressure changes. These pressure undulations in the aortic arch were observed to occur simultaneously with but in opposite phase relations to th...

We generalize optimal inequalities of C. Loewner and M. Gromov, by proving lower bounds for the total volume in terms of the homotopy systole and the stable systole. Our main tool is the construction of an area-decreasing map to the Jacobi torus, streamlining and generalizing the construction of the first author in collaboration with D. Burago. It turns out that one can successfully combine thi...

Many previous investigators have presented data suggesting that the processes involved in excitation and recovery in heart muscle limit the "vulnerable period" to a relatively small part of the heart cycle in late systole. Evidence presented in this report indicates that there are exceptions to this rule, at least in the intact animal, since under some conditions multiple extrasystoles and vent...
