A variable gravity model of the otolith membrane

open access: yesApplied Mathematical Modelling, 1980
Abstract This paper describes a finite difference model of the otolith membrane which allows the acceleration due to gravity to vary, thus simulating conditions of gravity on the lunar and planetary surfaces. The differential coefficients of the second-order system of elliptic partial differential equations governing the steady state displacements ...

Tectorial Membrane and Otolithic Membrane of Pigeon Inner Ear. A Scanning Electron Microscope Study

open access: yesArchivum histologicum japonicum, 1973
The tectorial membrane and otolithic membrane of pigeon inner ear were observed by scanning electron microscopy. Special attention was paid to the possible connection of sensory cells to the membranes.1. Each hair bundle of the sensory cells of the cochlea was enclosed in a cavity on the under side of the tectorial membrane, the longest hairs being ...

On Strongly Coupled Linear Elliptic Systems with Application to Otolith Membrane Distortion [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Mathematics and Statistics, 2008
Problem Statement: In this research, the author discussed the problems associated with the approximation of the mixed derivative terms appearing in strongly coupled linear elliptic systems by the finite difference method over irregular domains. To avoid the appearance of mixed derivative terms the author introduced a reformulation for the system ...

Electron probe microanalysis of the otolithic membrane. A methodological and quantitative study. [PDF]

open access: yesScanning microscopy, 1992
The effect of tissue preparation on calcium and potassium weight percent in the otoconial layer in the utricle and saccule was studied in four groups of OF1 mice with electron probe X-ray microanalysis. Glutaraldehyde and freeze-drying, glutaraldehyde and air-drying, air-drying, and cryo-fixation and freeze-drying were compared.
