Many communicative behaviors in the animal kingdom consist of performing and recognizing specialized patterns of oscillatory motion. Here we present an approach to the representation and recognition of these oscillatory motions based on the categorical organization of a simple sinusoidal model having very specific and limited parameter values. This characterization is used to specify the types ...

This paper proposed a semi-theoretical model to quantitatively predict leakage rate of tubing and casing premium connections. The geometric parameters the sealing surface profile approximated by sinusoidal micro-convex were first obtained based on random normal distribution sampling method. With actual area prediction formula for elastic–plastic contact an axisymmetric body equivalent simulatio...

1.Introduction In this paper, a new method based on the modematching method in the sense of least squares [1], [2] for analyzing the two dimensional scattering problem of plane wave incidence to the infinite plane surface with an arbitrary imperfection of finite extent. The semi-infinite upper and lower regions of that surface are a vacuum and a perfect conductor, respectively. For this problem...

Measuring thresholds for the detection of brief decrements in the level of a sinusoid is an established method of estimating auditory temporal resolution. Generally, a background noise is added to the stimulus to avoid the detection of the "spectral splatter" introduced by the decrement. Results are often described in terms of a temporal-window model, comprising a band-pass filter, a compressiv...

The endocytosis of tracer particles by sinusoidal endothelial cells was studied in the bone marrow and liver of the rabbit and in the bone marrow of the rat after intravenous injection. The tracer particles used included carbon particles and polystyrene particles of different sizes ranging from 0.11 to 5.7 micron in diameter. The sinusoidal endothelial cells of the rabbit liver and rat bone mar...

BACKGROUND Hemodynamic changes in the liver remnant following partial hepatectomy (PHx) have been suggested to be a primary stimulus in triggering liver regeneration. We hypothesized that it is the increased sinusoidal flow per se and hence the shear-stress stimulus on the endothelial surface within the liver remnant which is the main stimulus to regeneration. In order to test this hypothesis w...

To determine the role of the hepatic sinusoidal endothelium in the hepatic disposition of liposomal doxorubicin, we compared the hepatic pharmacokinetics of doxorubicin hydrochloride and the pegylated, liposomal formulation of doxorubicin (Caelyx). The multiple indicator-dilution technique and electron microscopy were used to study the disposition of doxorubicin and liposomal doxorubicin in the...

Leung, L. Stan and Hui-Wen Yu. Theta-frequency resonance in frequency, and the resonant frequency is just below the natuhippocampal CA1 neurons in vitro demonstrated by sinusoidal ral oscillation frequency for a linear system. However, resocurrent injection. J. Neurophysiol. 79: 1592–1596, 1998. Sinusoinance at the theta frequency has not been clearly demondal currents of various frequencies we...

Semi active control systems are becoming increasingly popular because they offer reliability of passive systems combined with high performance and versatility of active control systems but with low power consumptions. As Magnetorheological (MR) fluids can produce good controllable damping force under application of magnetic field, MR damper can be used as effective element in semiactive vibrati...
