Level structures of 95,97Mo — A comparative study

High-spin states of ^95,97Mo (Z=42, N=53,55) nuclei have been investigated through ⁸²Se(¹⁸O, xn) reaction at Eb=60 MeV. The level scheme in ⁹⁵Mo has been observed upto ≏ 10 MeV in the present experiment. The level structure shows mainly single particle character. In ⁹⁷Mo, the ground state level sequence has been extended to ≏ 4.5 MeV while the previous information had been up to 2.4 MeV. A negative parity band built on 1437 keV (11/2⁻) excited state has been extended to 5.5 MeV. The structure seems to show a coexistence of single particle and collective modes of excitation. Properties of both the nuclei have been compared with shell model calculations using OXBASH.     

Development of a universal measure of quadrupedal forelimb-hindlimb coordination using digital motion capture and computerised analysis

Background  

Clinical spinal cord injury in domestic dogs provides a model population in which to test the efficacy of putative therapeutic interventions for human spinal cord injury. To achieve this potential a robust method of functional analysis is required so that statistical comparison of numerical data derived from treated and control animals can be achieved.     

A proof of the Morse-Bott Lemma

It is often said that the Morse-Bott Lemma can be viewed as a “parameterized” Morse Lemma, and its proof should follow from the differentiability of the methods used to prove the Morse Lemma. The goal of this expository paper is to fill in the details. We present Palais' proof of the Morse Lemma using Moser's path method, which yields the necessary differentiability.
