In this paper, we consider an infinite-dimensional extension of Chua's circuit (Fig. 1) obtained by replacing the left portion of the circuit composed of the capacitance C2 and the inductance L by a lossless transmission line as shown in Fig. 2. As we shall see, if the remaining capacitance C1 is equal to zero, the dynamics of this so-called time-delayed Chua's circuit can be reduced to that of a scalar nonlinear difference equation. After deriving the corresponding 1-D map, it will be possible to determine without any approximation the analytical equation of the stability boundaries of cycles of every period n. Since the stability region is nonempty for each n, this proves rigorously that the time-delayed Chua's circuit exhibits the "period-adding" phenomenon where every two consecutive cycles are separated by a chaotic region.

Abstract The critical speeds of a spinning Timoshenko shaft with an intermediate attached disk subjected to a longitudinal force are analytically solved. The expressions of whirl speed equations for hinged-hinged, hinged-clamped, clamped-hinged, and clamped-clamped rotors are given respectively. The critical speeds of each shaft-disk system are sought from its corresponding whirl speed equation by using simple numerical techniques. The effects of the disk location and the longitudinal force on the critical speeds of the shaft-disk systems are investigated. Numerical results reveal that if the disk locates in the left portion of the shaft, both the primary forward and backward critical speeds for the rotor subjected to a follower force are larger than those subjected to an axial force with the same magnitude. The results are contrary while the disk locates in the right portion of the shaft.

Abstract In Caenorhabditis elegans, individuals heterozygous for a reciprocal translocation produce reduced numbers of viable progeny. The proposed explanation is that the segregational pattern generates aneuploid progeny. In this article, we have examined the genotype of arrested embryonic classes. Using appropriate primers in PCR amplifications, we identified one class of arrested embryo, which could be readily recognized by its distinctive spot phenotype. The corresponding aneuploid genotype was expected to be lacking the left portion of chromosome V, from the eT1 breakpoint to the left (unc-60) end. The phenotype of the homozygotes lacking this DNA was a stage 2 embryonic arrest with a dark spot coinciding with the location in wild-type embryos of birefringent gut granules. Unlike induced events, this deletion results from meiotic segregation patterns, eliminating complexity associated with unknown material that may have been added to the end of a broken chromosome. We have used the arrested embryos, lacking chromosome V left sequences, to map a telomere probe. Unique sequences adjacent to the telomeric repeats in the clone cTel3 were missing in the arrested spot embryo. The result was confirmed by examining aneuploid segregants from a second translocation, hT1(I;V). Thus, we concluded that the telomere represented by clone cTel3 maps to the left end of chromosome V. In this analysis, we have shown that reciprocal translocations can be used to generate segregational aneuploids. These aneuploids are deleted for terminal sequences at the noncrossover ends of the C. elegans autosomes.


The body, of which the dissection is described in this paper, exhibited a considerable tumour, placed immediately above the region of the pubis. Upon opening the abdomen, a quantity of fluid resembling blood was found in its cavity, and a tumour, four times the size of a hen’s egg, obstructed the view of the internal parts of generation, resting upon the left portion of the anterior surface of the uterus; a blood-vessel, which proved to be a branch of the left spermatic artery, and of the size of a large crow-quill, penetrated the dense portion of this tumour, and a smaller vessel communicated with the spermatic vein. The inferior portion of the tumour presented diaphanous membranes, through which was seen a fœtus of about four months’ growth. The fact of an extra-uterine conception being thus made out, the author proceeded to examine the connection of the tumour with the neighbouring parts, and the condition of the uterus; whence it appears that the tumour was seated in the left ovarium, which had burst in three places, so as to suffer the membranous sac containing the fœtus to protrude into the cavity of the abdomen; and that by the growth of the fœtus that part of the covering of the ovarium was ultimately lacerated, which involved the placenta by which the adhesions of the latter were torn, producing the sudden and fatal hæmorrhage which killed the patient and filled the abdomen with blood.

Traditionally, the economics of farm number adjustments have been inferred from the relative positions of firms on a longrun average cost curve. The steep slope of the left portion of the commonly drawn curve suggests demise of the smaller units as fast as off-farm and inter-farm markets can absorb their labor and land resources. On the less steeply declining middle portion of the curve, insufficient volume of output (income) is suggested as a cause of firms quitting. The argument is supported by the fact that most empirical estimates do not show the long-run cost curve rising at large outputs. This places downward pressure on product prices, reducing per unit margins, and creating income problems for the middle group of firms. Adjustments in the farming sector are then viewed as constrained by the limitations of factor and product markets, as well as by values and traditions of farm people.

Abstract The right subclavian artery may originate from the left portion of the aortic arch. This aberrant vessel is known as the arteria lusoria. Its course to its usual site runs behind the esophagus, which may cause a disease known as dysphagia lusoria, responsible for symptoms of discomfort. This artery is often associated with other anomalies, such as the non-recurrent laryngeal nerve and the bicarotid trunk, and with diseases such as aneurysms, congenital heart defects, and even genetic syndromes. During routine dissection of a male cadaver fixed in 10% formalin solution, an arteria lusoria was found. This article reports the variation and discusses its embryological, clinical and surgical aspects.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of color on eye movements while viewing a restaurant menu. Heat maps suggest that participants tended to view the middle and upper-left parts of the menu the most, regardless of color upon first exposure. Gaze plots showing the order of fixations indicated that color may have impacted initial eye movements in the first 10 seconds. Participants tended to view the center of the menu first in the color condition and the top left portion of the menu first in the non-color version. These results may be useful when designing restaurant menus and understanding the role color may have when attracting users’ gaze.
