The connection between prescribed levels of effort and force of handgrip was investigated using a ratio-production procedure. Subjects were 24 male right-handed students. The relation can be described as a linear function for both the right and the left hands.

A new method of computing residual anomalies for gravity prospecting data from a Bouguer gravity map has been evolved. In arriving at the proposed method, we have at first examined the behavior of the regional gravity field from an analytical point of view. With the concepts acquired therefrom in mind, we consider the case of square grids with such separation of stations that in an elementary area, formed by joining the four nearest stations around a central station, the regional field may be represented by a linear function of the Cartesian coordinates in the horizontal surface of observation. Making use of the formal relationship between the residual, regional, and Bouguer gravity values, we have been able to formulate in this case a set of simultaneous linear equations—one for each station of observation—with the residual values at the grid corners as the unknowns in the left hand sides of these equations and some linear function of the Bouger values at the grid corners as the known quantities in the right hand sides. With some plausible estimates of the residual values at the stations on the boundaries at hand, these equations can be solved efficiently with the aid of the relaxation technique as has been exemplified in the cases of theoretical model as well as field data.

A common theme in the theory of demand aggregation is that market demand can acquire properties which are not always individually present among the agents who make up that market, a phenomenon we call heteroiosis in this paper. This paper focusses on the well known result that with a suitable distribution of demand behavior (arising perhaps from the underlying distribution of preferences), market demand can become an approximately linear function of income or even take on approximately Cobb-Douglas properties. We highlight the mathematical arguments underpinning these models and show that in the right context, it is possible to carry the arguments further and achieve exact, rather than just approximate, results: exact Cobb-Douglas market demand or exact linearity of market demand with respect to income.

The aims of this study are to evaluate the the right-turn coefficients at intersection capasity formula by Indonesia Highway Capacity Manual (MKJI 1997). Therefore, it is necessary for analysis that examines right-turn coefficient values in intersection capacity function. The simulation with many various geometric intersections defined by many scenarios using vehicle tracking application program, which increase the space maneuver vehicle at the intersection includes: 1) widen approach lane; 2) add a right-turn lane; and 3) backward median in each approach. Intersection performance Analysis will produce degree of saturation that is affected by right-turn coefficient according to the simulated vehicle maneuver using new formula. The study can be concluded that the intersection changes the right-turn factor adjustment which was originally set with the value based on linear function being a log function. According to the new function, Prt Less 2,5% right turn vehicle make significant decrease of intersection capacity, that why, it makes many conflict based on opposite traffic from other approach. In the other side, if Prt more then 2,5%, it makes increase intersection capacity because intersection space used to right turn vehicles.

1. Relative co-ordination is demonstrated between the rhythms of the right and left scaphognathites (SG) and between the heart and either right or left SG or both simultaneously. 2. The co-ordination between these rhythms results from mutual phasedependent alteration of the period lengths as demonstrated by the phaseresponse curves for the interactions. 3. The standard deviation of the SG period lengths is an inverse linear function of the percentage coupling between the two SGs (r = 0.76; P < 0.01). 4. The right SG motor output may show relative co-ordination with respect to a sinusoidal, dorso-ventral movement applied along the radial axis of that appendage. 5. This is taken to indicate that sensory reafference resulting from the interplay between the applied and intended movements can alter the SG rhythm depending upon the relative phasing of the two movements. The effects of sensory reafference are therefore not merely tonic as has been believed until now. 6. Cautery of the right oval organ, a major phasic mechanoreceptor of the SG, has no significant influence on any of the above relationships. The significance of this and of the widespread occurrence of relative co-ordination between rhythmic activities is discussed.

SummaryRecently, there has been a proliferation of international agreements imposing minimum standards on states in respect of their treatment of foreign investors and allowing investors to initiate dispute settlement proceedings where a state violates these standards. Of greatest significance to Canada is Chapter 11 of the North American Free Trade Agreement, which provides both standards for state behaviour and the right to initiate binding arbitration. Since 1996, four cases have been brought under Chapter 11. This note describes the Chapter 11 process and suggests some of the issues that may arise as it is increasingly resorted to by investors.

Abstract The target article carefully describes the memory system, centered on the temporal lobe that builds specific memory traces. It does not, however, mention the laterality effects that exist within this system. This commentary briefly surveys evidence showing that clear asymmetries exist within the temporal lobe structures subserving the core system and that the right temporal structures mainly underpin face familiarity feelings.

It is well known that for reflections corresponding to large interplanar spacings (i.e., sin θ/λ small), the electron scattering amplitude, f, is sensitive to the ionicity and to the charge distribution around the atoms. We have used this in order to obtain information about the charge distribution in FeTi, which is a candidate for storage of hydrogen. Our goal is to study the changes in electron distribution in the presence of hydrogen, and also the ionicity of hydrogen in metals, but so far our study has been limited to pure FeTi. FeTi has the CsCl structure and thus Fe and Ti scatter with a phase difference of π into the 100-ref lections. Because Fe (Z = 26) is higher in the periodic system than Ti (Z = 22), an immediate “guess” would be that Fe has a larger scattering amplitude than Ti. However, relativistic Hartree-Fock calculations show that the opposite is the case for the 100-reflection. An explanation for this may be sought in the stronger localization of the d-electrons of the first row transition elements when moving to the right in the periodic table. The tabulated difference between fTi (100) and ffe (100) is small, however, and based on the values of the scattering amplitude for isolated atoms, the kinematical intensity of the 100-reflection is only 5.10-4 of the intensity of the 200-reflection.

A redesigned specimen holder and cap have made possible the freeze-etching of both fracture surfaces of a frozen fractured specimen. In principal, the procedure involves freezing a specimen between two specimen holders (as shown in A, Fig. 1, and the left side of Fig. 2). The aluminum specimen holders and brass cap are constructed so that the upper specimen holder can be forced loose, turned over, and pressed down firmly against the specimen stage to a position represented by B, Fig. 1, and the right side of Fig. 2.

The production of adrenocorticotropic hormone by non-pituitary carcinomas has been documented in several tumors, most frequently small cell carcinoma of the lung, islet cell carcinomas of the pancreas, thymomas and carcinoids. Electron microscopy of these tumors reveals typical membrane-limited "neurosecretory" granules. Confirmation of the granules as adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) requires the use of OsO4 as a primary fixative to give the characteristic cored granule appearance in conjunction with immunohistochemical demonstration of the hormone peptide. Because of the rarity of ectopic ACTH production by mammary carcinomas and the absence of appropriate ultrastructural studies in the two examples of such ectopic hormone production in the literature of which we are aware (1,2), we present biochemical and ultrastructural data from a carcinoma of the breast with apparent ACTH production.The patient had her primary tumor in the right breast in 1969. The tumor recurred as visceral and subcutaneous metastases in 1976 and again in 1977.
