A proton magnetic resonance study of polycrystalline Af as a function of magnetic field and temperature is presented.

Within certain wide limits anatomy dictates function and, if one is permitted to speculate, potential pathology should be included in this statement as well.

Decomposition, simplification, or slowing of multijoint movement may also be an effective strategy that therapists may use to improve function in patients with ataxia.

Other tools that assess motor function, balance and coordination are also highly valuable to help the therapist track the progress of their patient, as well as to quantify the patient's functionality.

Apart from the fundamental function of providing astronomers with a reference frame to report their observations in, astrometry is also fundamental for fields like celestial mechanics, stellar dynamics and galactic astronomy.
