Examples

  • Similar results were obtained by Jokela et al. [59], who pointed UV radiometers azimuthally South, North, West, and East to assess UV dose rates on vertical surfaces in Saariselkä, Finland.

  • This azimuthal variation provides a strong vertical focusing on the circulating beam of ions and it is then not necessary to have the azimuthally averaged field to decrease with increasing radius as it has to do in the conventional cyclotron in order to maintain vertical focusing.

  • S2 is widely thought to provide a flexible tether that can bend radially, as well as azimuthally around the thick filament surface, to facilitate actin-myosin attachment.

  • This would suggest that the forces bending the lever arm azimuthally in situ, might also cause the lever arm to be twisted, a phenomenon which has been observed spectroscopically

  • Instead, the lever arm of the myosin head is compliant and bends azimuthally clockwise (looking Z-wards) with respect to the thick filament during the transition.

  • Their position is variable with respect to TM, both azimuthally and axially which argues against a specific interaction.

  • If S2 swings azimuthally during cross-bridge attachment so that it becomes angled with respect to the filament axis when force is initiated down the filament axis, that force will have both an azimuthal component (a torque) as well an axial component.

  • (C) Force production realigns S2 with the filament axis while bending the lever arm azimuthally.

  • When strong binding occurs and the working stroke is initiated the force is applied axially with a minimal torque but the lever arm is already bent azimuthally.

  • The total spread is unexpectedly wide given that the two starting structures are azimuthally only 4° apart, Holmes rigor, 118°, scallop transition state, 122°.

  • Things being "azimuthally symmetric" is a thing I learned about today.
