    Description: The saccadic system accurately compensates for perturbations of eye position produced by microstimulation of the superior colliculus. This requires that information about the stimulation-induced change in eye position be provided by an extraretinal source--either proprioceptive endings in extraocular muscles or a centrally generated corollary discharge. It is shown that compensation remains intact after elimination of extraocular muscle proprioception, demonstrating that corollary discharge provides accurate eye position information.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Guthrie, B L -- Porter, J D -- Sparks, D L -- F32 EY05651/EY/NEI NIH HHS/ -- P30 EY03039/EY/NEI NIH HHS/ -- R01 EY01189/EY/NEI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1983 Sep 16;221(4616):1193-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6612334" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Notes: Abstract Although normal pressures at the stump socket interface of the lowerlimb amputee have been investigated, little is known about the shear stresses that also occur. Studies suggest that the combination of both shear and normal stresses significantly exacerbates discomfort and vascular and tissue damage. A means of simultaneously measuring normal and shear stresses will aid in the investigation and improvement of prosthetic fit. A miniature triaxial force transducer (4·9×16 mm diameter) has been developed which can be recessed into the socket wall. The principle of operation, construction, performance and limitations of the device are described. Preliminary measurements of the interface stress variations over the gait cycle in a supra-condylar PTB socket are presented. These show clear differences in the stress patterns present when two different prosthetic feet are used.

    Description: A comparison has been made of the velocity structure of non-star-forming dense molecular clouds and the output of a 512(exp 3) hydrodynamic code for compressible gas displaying features of turbulence. A remarkable similarity exists between the interstellar line profiles and the velocity profiles found by integrating, with an optically thin assumption, through subsections of the simulation. This similarity is in terms of both the structure of individual spectra, showing skewness, multiple peaks, and wings, and also the variations of the spectra from point to point. It is possible to see the origin of the various velocity substructures and how they correlate with regions of high density and velocity divergence, or regions of high vorticity, by deprojecting individual spectra of the simulation. It is found that the interstellar medium spectra are best represented by the epoch of the simulation in which the energy spectrum is essentially Kolmogorov-like and initially developed shocks have been largely converted into vorticity structures. Further, it is found that the vorticity peaks ascribed to intermittency contribute to the non-Gaussian features and wings of the line profile, but at an intensity level that is weak compared to the contribution of the bulk of the flow.
