TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the thermally stimulated decay of the dielectric modulus M(T, t) for poly(vinylacetate) by monitoring the electric field E(t) under the condition of a constant voltage for t > 0.

TL;DR: Exctracellular recordings of neural responses to auditory stimuli from far advanced stations of two parallel pathways demonstrated that the representations of interaural time difference and frequency in the forebrain pathway differ from those in the midbrain pathway, suggesting that the fore brain representation may serve as a population code supporting fine discrimination of central inter aural time differences and coarse indication of laterality of a stimulus for large interaurally time differences.

TL;DR: It is suggested that these basic motion elements (fixations, head rotations, translations along a straight line, and translation along a curved trajectory) may be combined to form longer and more complex behavior.

TL;DR: A statistical analysis was used to evaluate the regionalization of the cervical spine in the barn owl and suggested 3–7 regions that allow a high degree of flexibility, potentially facilitating the large head turns that barn owls are able to make.

TL;DR: The normal development of the barn owl was documented with the intent of providing a guideline for determining the maturational stage of embryos and posthatching individuals, and skeletal measures were the most reliable parameters for judging maturation.
