Ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (OVEMPs) produced by whole-body vibration (WBV) by Todd, Neil P. M., Bell, Steven L., Paillard, Aurore, Griffin, Michael J.

“…In this paper we report the results of an experiment to investigate the emergence of ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (OVEMPs) during the linear vestibular ocular reflex (LVOR) evoked by whole-body vibration (WBV). OVEMP and electrooculogram (EOG) montages were employed to record periocular potentials (POPs) from six subjects during WBV in the nasooccipital (NO) axis over a range of frequencies from 0.5 to 64 Hz with approximately constant peak head acceleration of 1.0 ms.…”

The effects of design on the tone and response of clarinet mouthpieces by Pillinger, Edward

“…Baffle angle and shape, together with the slipway under the reed, were shown to play an important role in balancing brightness in a way hitherto not clearly understood, whilst the lay profile, arguably influencing the tone and response more than any other parameter, was found to have a direct relationship with the reed's natural curvature during vibration. A large bore mouthpiece in conjunction with a small bore, French style instrument equipped with a shorter (and sometimes smaller bore) barrel, was found to increase vibrancy in many set-ups and to shift the spectrum of sound closer to Germanic tone. …”

Novel opto-electronic and plastic fibre sensors by Ioannides, Nicos

“…An automated version of the sensor under software control is also demonstrated for monitoring large amplitude (0.15 mm - 6 mm), single degree vibrations. The maximum determined frequency of the vibrating surface is about 150 Hz and this is only limited by the target displacement which is close to the resolution limits of this version of the sensor (0.15 mm). …”

Infrared spectroscopy of NaCl(CH3OH)n complexes in helium nanodroplets by Sadoon, Ahmed M., Sarma, Gautam, Cunningham, Ethan M., Tandy, Jonathan D., Hanson-Heine, Magnus W. D., Besley, Nicholas A., Yang, Shengfu, Ellis, Andrew M.

“…For n ≥ 4, there is a dramatic shift from discrete vibrational bands to very broad absorption envelopes, suggesting a profound change in the structural landscape and, in particular, access to multiple low-energy isomers.…”

The determination of the crystal structure of four compounds of industrial importance by Banerjee, Anuradha

“…Anisotropic thermal vibrations were allowed for, and hydrogen atom positions were calculated resulting in the conventional R-factors of 6.7, 6.1, 6.6 and 6.1% for the four structures. …”

The effect of temperature on permittivity measurements of aqueous solutions of glucose for the development of non-invasive glucose sensors based on electromagnetic waves by Jayanthi, Renu, Virdee, Bal Singh, Lubangakene, Innocent, Ganguly, Priyanka, Mariyanayagam, Dion

“…The rise in thermal energy normally causes dipolar liquids like water to vibrate and rotate disrupting the alignment of the dipoles in response to an electric field thereby reducing its permittivity. …”
