A Novel Antigen Sensitive to Calcium Chelation That is Associated with the Tip Links and Kinocilial Links of Sensory Hair Bundles [PDF]
Tip links are extracellular, cell-surface-associated filaments of unknown molecular composition that are thought to gate the mechanotransducer channel of the sensory hair cell.

A heuristic mathematical model for the dynamics of sensory conflict and motion sickness [PDF]
The etiology of motion sickness is now usually explained in terms of a qualitatively formulated sensory conflict hypothesis. By consideration of the information processing task faced by the central nervous system in estimating body spatial orientation ...

Otolith responses to dynamical stimuli: results of a numerical investigation [PDF]
.: To investigate the dynamic effects of external forces on the displacement of the otolith membrane and subsequent neuronal responses of otoliths, we performed numerical analyses of otolith membrane displacements.

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

The Effect of Golf Shoe Characteristics on Static Balance Over an Extended Duration [PDF]
Golf performance is greatly impacted by balance ability, specifically during a golfer’s swinging and putting motion. Previous studies have found that certain shoe characteristics can affect balance; however, no such study has been conducted for golf ...

Laboratory simulation of the action of weightlessness on the human organism [PDF]
A brief history of attemps by the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. to simulate weightlessness in the laboratory is presented. Model for laboratory modeling of weightlessness included the bed regimen, the clinostat, and water immersion.

Coherent motion of stereocilia assures the concerted gating of hair-cell transduction channels
The hair cell's mechanoreceptive organelle, the hair bundle, is highly sensitive because its transduction channels open over a very narrow range of displacements.

Efficient reconfigurable architectures for 3-D medical image compression [PDF]
Recently, the more widespread use of three-dimensional (3-D) imaging modalities, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), and ultrasound (US) have generated a massive amount of volumetric ...

Morphological and histochemical observations were made of the otolith membrane of the macula utriculi in normal guineapigs.The influences of fixatives upon the structure of the otolith membrane were observed with several kinds of fixatives.The histochemical stainings were mainly applied to identify the acid mucopolysaccharides. Several of main findings
