Tail pressure and the tail entropy function

Ergodic Theory and Dynamical Systems, 2011
AbstractBurguet [A direct proof of the tail variational principle and its extension to maps. Ergod. Th. & Dynam. Sys.29 (2009), 357–369] presented a direct proof of the variational principle of tail entropy and extended Downarowicz’s results to a non-invertible case.

Functional Morphology of the Aardvark Tail

Anatomia, Histologia, Embryologia, 2012
SummaryThe musculoskeletal system of the aardvark (Orycteropus afer) tail was morphologically examined in two adult specimens. The tail musculature comprised three muscular groups, viz. a dorsal sacrocaudal system that consisted of the irregularly oriented Musculus sacrocaudalis dorsalis medialis and M. sacrocaudalis dorsalis lateralis, a lateral inter‐

The anatomy, movement, and functions of human sperm tail: an evolving mystery

Biology of Reproduction, 2020
Sperms have attracted attention of many researchers since it was discovered by Antonie van Leeuwenhoek in 1677. Though a small cell, its every part has complex structure and different function to play in carrying life.

On Smooth Statistical Tail Functionals

Scandinavian Journal of Statistics, 1998
Many estimators of the extreme value index of a distribution functionF that are based on a certain numberkn of largest order statistics can be represented as a statistical tail function al, that is a functionalT applied to the empirical tail quantile functionQn.

Branched-Tail Lipid Nanoparticles Potently Deliver mRNA In Vivo due to Enhanced Ionization at Endosomal pH.

Small, 2019
The potential of mRNA therapeutics will be realized only once safe and effective delivery systems are established. Unfortunately, delivery vehicle development is stymied by an inadequate understanding of how the molecular properties of a vehicle confer ...

Cumulative Functions and Tails

2009
This chapter is devoted to recursions for cumulative functions and tails of order t for t=0,1,2,… of functions on the non-negative integers that satisfy a recursion of the type studied in Chap. 5. In some cases, we present the recursions for more general functions on the non-negative integers when the proof does not depend on properties specific for ...

Calculating Fourier Transforms of Long-Tailed Functions

SIAM Journal on Scientific and Statistical Computing, 1987
We describe a method for evaluating Fourier transform functions numerically when function values f(x) are available for any value of x. Our method is based on the Möbius inversion of the Poisson summation formula, and employs a nonlinear series acceleration technique.

Continuing organizer function during chick tail development

Development, 1998
ABSTRACT Development of the posterior body (lumbosacral region and tail) in vertebrates is delayed relative to gastrulation. In amniotes, it proceeds with the replacement of the regressed node and primitive streak by a caudal blastemalike mass of mesenchyme known as the tail bud.

Structure and function of tuna tail tendons

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Molecular & Integrative Physiology, 2002
The caudal tendons in tunas and other scombrid fish link myotomal muscle directly to the caudal fin rays, and thus serve to transfer muscle power to the hydrofoil-like tail during swimming. These robust collagenous tendons have structural and mechanical similarity to tendons found in other vertebrates, notably the leg tendons of terrestrial mammals ...

Myosins: Tails (and Heads) of Functional Diversity

Physiology, 2005
The myosin family of actin filament-based molecular motors consists of at least 20 structurally and functionally distinct classes. The human genome contains nearly 40 myosin genes, encoding 12 of these classes. Myosins have been implicated in a variety of intracellular functions, including cell migration and adhesion; intracellular transport and ...
