Vibratory behavior of the sound generating structures of the bird syrinx

Journal ArticleRecent endoscopic studies of the bird syrinx during phonation suggest that sound is generated by vibrating membrane folds or labia (Goller and Larsen, J. exp.

Like-charge attraction through hydrodynamic interaction

We demonstrate that the attractive interaction measured between like-charged colloidal spheres near a wall can be accounted for by a nonequilibrium hydrodynamic effect. We present both analytical results and Brownian dynamics simulations which quantitatively capture the one-wall experiments of Larsen and Grier (Nature 385, p. 230, 1997).Comment: 10 pages, 4 figure

Influence of SiO2 micro-particles onto microstructure, mechanical properties and wear resistance of uhmwpe based composite under dry sliding friction

Operation is demonstrated of a field-effect transistor made of transparant oxidic thin films, showing an intrinsic memory function due to the usage of a ferroelectric insulator. The device consists of a high mobility Sb-doped n-type SnO2 semiconductor layer, PbZr0.2Ti0.8O3 as a ferroelectric insulator, and SrRuO3 as a gate electrode, each layer prepared by pulsed laser deposition. The hysteresis behavior of the channel conductance is studied. Using gate voltage pulses of 100 µs duration and a pulse height of ±3 V, a change of a factor of two in the remnant conductance is achieved. The dependence of the conductance on the polarity of the gate pulse proves that the memory effect is driven by the ferroelectric polarization. The influence of charge trapping is also observed and discussed. © 1996 American Institute of Physics

Clinical Management of Larsen Syndrome in Inpatient Rehabilitation: A Case Report

Background: Larsen Syndrome is a rare osteochondrodysplasic disorder associated with Filamin 1 (FLN) gene mutations and clinically presents with frequent large joint dislocations, osseous disturbances, and craniofacial abnormalities. To date, no studies have assessed the medical and rehabilitative management of an individual living with Larsen Syndrome in an inpatient rehabilitation care setting. Case Presentation: A 30 year-old biological female presented to the emergency department after developing worsening right-sided low back pain while bending forward. The patient’s past medical and surgical history was significant for Larsen Syndrome complicated by chronic hip, knee, and back pain, Celiac disease, major depressive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, obstructive sleep apnea, gastroesophageal reflux disease, cholecystectomy, and multiple falls. Radiological imaging uncovered cervical spinal cord instability with multiple vertebral abnormalities, of which were managed non-surgically via a cervical stabilization orthosis and mobility precautions. Throughout the 13-day course of care, the patient’s pain and functional mobility decline were managed with pharmaceutical, rehabilitative, psychological, and recreational interventions. Upon discharge, the patient’s pain had improved from 7/10 to 0/10 on the Numerical Pain Rating Scale and Functional Independence Measure Motor subset scores improved from 55 to 75. Discussion: Primary goals of inpatient rehabilitation focused upon pain management and progressive return toward the patient’s prior level of function to promote a safe discharge to outpatient therapies and home-based activities. Physical, occupational, speech, and recreational therapies were a crucial adjunct to the management of the patient’s chief complaints, including addressing functional mobility impairments, activities of daily living safety, supported locomotion, and spinal protection. Spinal instability is considered the most emergent pathology in patients living with Larsen Syndrome, in light of the neurological consequences that may follow mechanical injury during spinal loading or high-velocity movements. Cervical spinal instability without thecal sac compression was uncovered during rehabilitation, necessitating cervical bracing and non-operative measures to mitigate progression of cervical myelopathy. Although non-operative management of spinal instability was pursed, the patient ultimately improved in global pain ratings and Functional Independence Measure scores, indicating higher likelihood of meaningful return to the desired level of function. Conclusions: Larsen syndrome is a debilitating, yet rarely encountered condition that requires the specialized management of a multi-disciplinary medical and rehabilitative team. FLN 1 gene mutations are suspected to be underdiagnosed and will continue to present with a variety of unique phenotypic impairments requiring treatment in the inpatient rehabilitation setting. We present this case of Larsen Syndrome to highlight the importance of diagnostic familiarity and approaches to rehabilitation of individuals living with FLN 1-associated conditions

The Communicative Criteria Found in 10th Year of Public Senior High School English Coursebooks

This thesis is a materials evaluation using communicative criteria. This topic is chosen considering that coursebooks are important teaching tools and communication ability is now a standard in pedagogical field. It aims to find the communicative criteria applied in the coursebooks. The writer attempts to find the criteria application and finds that the materials in the coursebooks apply to some extent the communicative criteria concerning the language knowledge, interaction, and language practice and use. The materials in the coursebooks are analyzed with constructed communicative criteria from Communicative Language Teaching principles by Larsen-Freeman and Anderson (2011). This study method is qualitative. The data are taken from English coursebooks for 10th Year of Public Senior High Schools in Indonesia. In conclusion, the coursebooks are fairly communicative because most materials apply one or more communicative criteria, except for materials in Vocabulary and Pronunciation sections. Further studies can be conducted on the materials suitability with students\u27 needs, the language skills and components and communicative competence taught
