If the form of a fold is conical, important elements of its geometry are the attitude of its axis and the degree of conicity (i.e. the size of the semi-apical angle of the cone). (If the fold is cylindrical this angle is 0°; but as the semi-apical angle increases to 90° as a limit, the cone approaches a plane.) These elements of a conical fold can be calculated, given the attitudes of a number of planes tangential to the fold surface. Also the standard deviation of the observations from the ideal can be calculated and used to test the structural homogeneity of a given area. Previous solutions to this problem lead to ambiguous answers, as shown by C. S. Venkitasubramanyan (this issue).

The theory of sky-polarimetric Viking navigation has been widely accepted for decades without any information about the accuracy of this method. Previously, we have measured the accuracy of the first and second steps of this navigation method in psychophysical laboratory and planetarium experiments. Now, we have tested the accuracy of the third step in a planetarium experiment, assuming that the first and second steps are errorless. Using the fists of their outstretched arms, 10 test persons had to estimate the elevation angles (measured in numbers of fists and fingers) of black dots (representing the position of the occluded Sun) projected onto the planetarium dome. The test persons performed 2400 elevation estimations, 48% of which were more accurate than ±1°. We selected three test persons with the (i) largest and (ii) smallest elevation errors and (iii) highest standard deviation of the elevation error. From the errors of these three persons, we calculated their error function, from which the North errors (the angles with which they deviated from the geographical North) were determined for summer solstice and spring equinox, two specific dates of the Viking sailing period. The range of possible North errors Δ ω N was the lowest and highest at low and high solar elevations, respectively. At high elevations, the maximal Δ ω N was 35.6° and 73.7° at summer solstice and 23.8° and 43.9° at spring equinox for the best and worst test person (navigator), respectively. Thus, the best navigator was twice as good as the worst one. At solstice and equinox, high elevations occur the most frequently during the day, thus high North errors could occur more frequently than expected before. According to our findings, the ideal periods for sky-polarimetric Viking navigation are immediately after sunrise and before sunset, because the North errors are the lowest at low solar elevations.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Endosopic septum pellucidotomy is used for treating patients with unilateral and specific types of bilateral hydrocephalus. The ideal location for septostomy is controversial; however, an avascular region is preferred. OBJECTIVE: As the septal veins (SVs) are viewed only from one side, we studied the symmetry of the SVs in an attempt to define a safe area for septostomy. METHODS: Sixteen cadaver brains were dissected. The septum pellucidum was exposed bilaterally and divided into 3 regions. SVs of both sides were evaluated according to number, size, distribution, and location relative to common markers on both sides. RESULTS: Each side included 1 to 7 large veins (mean ± standard deviation, 2.3 ± 1.4), 0 to 3 small veins (2.05 ± 1.73), and a total of 2 to 7 veins (4.35 ± 1.53). Of the large veins, 88% were located in the anterior septal region (anterior to the foramen of Monro). Among the 10 brains that were extensively dissected, 90% had asymmetric SVs (either in the number of large veins or in the existence of any veins) in at least 1 of the septal regions, and 50% of brains had asymmetric SVs in the anterior region. CONCLUSION: Distribution of the SVs is asymmetric in most cases. We recommend septostomy be performed at the anterior area of the middle septal region, at the level of the foramen of Monro, mid-height between the corpus callosum and fornix. Careful evaluation of preoperative images and thorough coagulation at the septostomy site are essential to avoid injury to a contralateral large SV.

Wire and arc additive manufacturing has unique process characteristics, which make it have great potential in many fields, but the large amount of heat input brought by this feature limits its practical application. The influence of heat input on the performance of parts has been extensively studied, but the quantitative description of the influence of heat input on the surface quality of parts by wire and arc additive manufacturing has not received enough attention. According to different heat input, select the appropriate process parameters for wire and arc additive manufacturing, reversely shape the profile model, select the appropriate function model to establish the ideal profile model according to the principle of minimum error, and compare the two models to analyze the effect of heat input on the surface quality of the parts manufactured by wire and arc additive manufacturing. The results show that, when the heat input is high or low, the standard deviation value and the root mean square value reach 1.908 and 1.963, respectively. The actual profile is larger than the ideal profile. When the heat input is moderate, the standard deviation value and the root mean square value are only 1.634 and 1.713, respectively, and the actual contour is in good agreement with the ideal contour. Combined with the analysis of the transverse and longitudinal sections, it is shown that the heat input has a high degree of influence on the surface quality of the specimen manufactured by wire and arc additive manufacturing, and higher or lower heat input is disadvantageous to it.

Within the field of performance of agricultural experimentation we have some obstacles related to conducting experiments, the biggest of which is the comparison between treatments with the greatest possible precision, in order to arrive at safe conclusions from the observed results. The objective of this work was to evaluate the relationship between the plot sizes and the stand determination, height at maturation, as well as soybean yield. Three areas were cultivated with soybean for this purpose. In the plant stand determination 18 plot sizes were tested, at the plant height at maturation 14 sizes were tested, and 10 sizes were tested for productivity. The characteristics measurement was performed in triplicate for each plot size, randomly distributed within each area. The characteristic mean for each plot size allowed the adjustment subjective of two regression models, one facing up and one facing down. At the point where the difference among the adjusted models reached the value of the sample standard deviation, the ideal minimum plot size was determined. The evaluation of 14.3 linear m is required in the soybean plants stand determination. It is necessary to quantify 26 plants to guarantee an ideal estimate of the soybean plants at maturity height. It is necessary crop 22 m2 plot to safeguard an ideal estimate of soybean yield.
