Extracellular recordings were obtained from 319 input units and 304 Purkinje cells (P-cells) in the dorsal paraflocculus of alert monkeys trained to fixate a visual target. They changed discharge rates with either eye movement, eye position, or visual stimulus movement. Of the 319 input units, recorded in the granular layer or white matter, most were mossy fibers (MFs), but 90 (28%) showed characteristic cellular spikes. The latter units were probably granular cells (p-GC). Of the 319 input units, 163 (51%) showed bursts with saccades (burst units) and 62 (19%) showed a prelude on the average 124 ms prior to the onset of saccade (long-lead burst units). Sixty-five (20%) had tonic activity related to eye position and also showed bursts with saccades (burst-tonic units), and the remaining 29 (9%) showed only tonic activity (tonic units). MFs and p-GCs showed no significant differences in the proportion of each type of unit or in their response properties. The majority of burst units (63%) were pan directional, whereas all long-lead burst units had directional selectivity. The preferred directions of long-lead burst, burst tonic, and directionally selective burst units were found in all four quadrants. Position-related activity was found in 48% of the burst-tonic and tonic units to be linearly related to eye position and to show position threshold. The other units also had position thresholds but their activity was not monotonically related to fixation position. Six climbing fibers (CFs), 32 input units (including 13 p-GC), and 8 P-cells showed cyclic responses during sinusoidal movements of a visual pattern. One class of MF units (57%) responded only to the direction, whereas the others responded to both the direction and retinal-slip velocity. Both CF and P-cell units responded to sinusoidal retinal-slip velocity. Of 67 input units, 23 showed cyclic modulation in firing during sinusoidal eye movements in the horizontal plane. Nineteen were burst-tonic and four were tonic units. They also showed position sensitivity. The phase of the cyclic responses tended to lag behind the eye velocity during low-frequency trackings. Of 237 P-cells, 163 (68.8%) discharged with saccades (burst P-cells), 42 (17.7%) paused with saccades (pause P-cells), and 32 (13.5%) discharged with saccades in one direction and paused in the other (burst-pause P-cells). Position sensitivity was found in 38 P-cells; 12 were burst, 5 were pause, and 10 were burst-pause P-cells. Eleven did not respond with saccades.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Driving Conditions

Abstract Tread pattern wear is predicted by using an explicit finite element model (FEM) and compared with the indoor drum test results under a set of actual driving conditions. One pattern is used to determine the wear rate equation, which is composed of slip velocity and tangential stress under a single driving condition. Two other patterns with the same size (225/45ZR17) and profile are used to be simulated and compared with the indoor wear test results under the actual driving conditions. As a study on the rubber wear rate equation, trial wear rates are assumed by several constitutive equations and each trial wear rate is integrated along time to yield the total accumulated wear under a selected single cornering condition. The trial constitutive equations are defined by independently varying each exponent of slip velocity and tangential stress. The integrated results are compared with the indoor test results, and the best matching constitutive equation for wear is selected for the following wear simulation of two other patterns under actual driving conditions. Tens of thousands of driving conditions of a tire are categorized into a small number of simplified conditions by a suggested simplification procedure which considers the driving condition frequency and weighting function. Both of these simplified conditions and the original actual conditions are tested on the indoor drum test machines. The two results can be regarded to be in good agreement if the deviation that exists in the data is mainly due to the difference in the test velocity. Therefore, the simplification procedure is justified. By applying the selected wear rate equation and the simplified driving conditions to the explicit FEM simulation, the simulated wear results for the two patterns show good match with the actual indoor wear results.

The Impact

Abstract A mathematical model is envisioned to discourse the impact of Thompson and Troian slip boundary in the carbon nanotubes suspended nanofluid flow near a stagnation point along an expanding/contracting surface. The water is considered as a base fluid and both types of carbon nanotubes i.e., single-wall (SWCNTs) and multi-wall (MWCNTs) are considered. The flow is taken in a Dacry-Forchheimer porous media amalgamated with quartic autocatalysis chemical reaction. Additional impacts added to the novelty of the mathematical model are the heat generation/absorption and buoyancy effect. The dimensionless variables led the envisaged mathematical model to a physical problem. The numerical solution is then found by engaging MATLAB built-in bvp4c function for non-dimensional velocity, temperature, and homogeneous-heterogeneous reactions. The validation of the proposed mathematical model is ascertained by comparing it with a published article in limiting case. An excellent consensus is accomplished in this regard. The behavior of numerous dimensionless flow variables including solid volume fraction, inertia coefficient, velocity ratio parameter, porosity parameter, slip velocity parameter, magnetic parameter, Schmidt number, and strength of homogeneous/heterogeneous reaction parameters are portrayed via graphical illustrations. Computational iterations for surface drag force are tabulated to analyze the impacts at the stretched surface. It is witnessed that the slip velocity parameter enhances the fluid stream velocity and diminishes the surface drag force. Furthermore, the concentration of the nanofluid flow is augmented for higher estimates of quartic autocatalysis chemical.

AbstractThe rheological characterization of concentrated suspensions is complicated by the heterogeneous nature of their flow. In this contribution, the shear viscosity and wall slip velocity are quantified for highly concentrated suspensions (solid volume fractions of 0.55–0.60, D4,3 ~ 5 µm). The shear viscosity was determined using a high-pressure capillary rheometer equipped with a 3D-printed die that has a grooved surface of the internal flow channel. The wall slip velocity was then calculated from the difference between the apparent shear rates through a rough and smooth die, at identical wall shear stress. The influence of liquid phase rheology on the wall slip velocity was investigated by using different thickeners, resulting in different degrees of shear rate dependency, i.e. the flow indices varied between 0.20 and 1.00. The wall slip velocity scaled with the flow index of the liquid phase at a solid volume fraction of 0.60 and showed increasingly large deviations with decreasing solid volume fraction. It is hypothesized that these deviations are related to shear-induced migration of solids and macromolecules due to the large shear stress and shear rate gradients.

Optokinetic Afternystagmus

Different types of fast eye movements, including saccades and fast phases of optokinetic nystagmus (OKN) and optokinetic afternystagmus (OKAN), are coded by only partially overlapping neural networks. This is a likely cause for the differences that have been reported for the dynamic parameters of fast eye movements. The dependence of two of these parameters—peak velocity and duration—on saccadic amplitude has been termed “main sequence.” The main sequence of OKAN fast phases has not yet been analyzed. These eye movements are unique in that they are generated by purely subcortical control mechanisms and that they occur in complete darkness. In this study, we recorded fast phases of OKAN and OKN as well as visually guided and spontaneous saccades under identical background conditions because background characteristics have been reported to influence the main sequence of saccades. Our data clearly show that fast phases of OKAN and OKN differ with respect to their main sequence. OKAN fast phases were characterized by their lower peak velocities and longer durations compared with those of OKN fast phases. Furthermore we found that the main sequence of spontaneous saccades depends heavily on background characteristics, with saccades in darkness being slower and lasting longer. On the contrary, the main sequence of visually guided saccades depended on background characteristics only very slightly. This implies that the existence of a visual saccade target largely cancels out the effect of background luminance. Our data underline the critical role of environmental conditions (light vs. darkness), behavioral tasks (e.g., spontaneous vs. visually guided), and the underlying neural networks for the exact spatiotemporal characteristics of fast eye movements.
