Thus, any transverse velocity of the emitting source plays no part in aberration.

) It has two heads, the oblique head originating obliquely across the central part of the midfoot, and the transverse head originating near the metatarsophalangeal joints of digits five to three.

Tomography has been one of the pillars of radiologic diagnostics until the late 1970s, when the availability of minicomputers and of the transverse axial scanning method gradually supplanted it as the modality of CT. Transverse axial scanning was due in large part to the work of Godfrey Hounsfield and South African-born Allan McLeod Cormack.

Although they seemingly can appear anywhere, the non-Andean mountains usually form part of transverse and coastal ranges.

These include most of the stomach, first part of the duodenum, all of the small intestine, caecum and appendix, transverse colon, sigmoid colon and rectum.

This manoeuvre was finally noticed by Cassius who tried a countermove by moving part of his army south into the marshes and making a transverse dam, trying to cut off Antony ’ s outstretched right wing.

Any precise description of a brain section plane therefore has to make reference to the anteroposterior part of the brain to which the description refers ( e. g., transverse to the midbrain, or horizontal to the diencephalon ).

The trapezius has three functional regions: the superior region ( descending part ), which supports the weight of the arm ; the intermediate region ( transverse part ), which retracts the scapulae ; and the inferior region ( ascending part ), which medially rotates and depresses the scapulae.

The lumbar vertebrae are the largest segments of the movable part of the vertebral column, and are characterized by the absence of the foramen transversarium within the transverse process, and by the absence of facets on the sides of the body.

The accessory process is situated at the back part of the base of the transverse process.

Either the dorsal scapular artery ( the only artery that comes off of the third part of subclavian when present, although its origin is highly variable in different people ) or when the dorsal scapular artery is absent, it is accompanied by the deep branch of the transverse cervical artery ( an artery coming off of the thyrocervical trunk, a branch of the first part of the subclavian artery, the other two branches being vertebral artery and internal thoracic artery ).

The lateral angles are situated at the extremities of the grooves for the transverse sinuses: each is received into the interval between the mastoid angle of the parietal and the mastoid part of the temporal.

* The mastoid angle is truncated ; it articulates with the occipital bone and with the mastoid portion of the temporal, and presents on its inner surface a broad, shallow groove which lodges part of the transverse sinus.

There are three rust-coloured transverse bars on the snout and head ; the upper part of the skin around the eye is blue.

The volar surface is concave above, and elevated at its lower and lateral part into a rounded projection, the tubercle, which is directed forward and gives attachment to the transverse carpal ligament and sometimes origin to a few fibers of the Abductor pollicis brevis.

Photomicrograph of the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus nerve ( DmX ) in a transverse section along the upper medulla shown to be affected by the abnormally deposited alpha synuclein as part of intraneuronal Lewy bodies found ( extreme right ).

In human anatomy the five vertebrae in the lumbar region of the back are the largest and strongest in the movable part of the spinal column, and can be distinguished by the absence of a foramen in the transverse process, and by the absence of facets on the sides of the body.

During this part of its course, it lies in front of the transverse processes of the upper three cervical vertebrae.

To meet this, at first the transverse and wall ribs were stilted, or the upper part of their arches was raised, as in the Abbaye-aux-Hommes at Caen, and the Abbey of Lessay, in Normandy.

In the earlier stage of rib vaulting, the arched ribs consisted of independent or separate voussoirs down to the springing ; the difficulty, however, of working the ribs separately led to two other important changes: ( I ) the lower part of the transverse diagonal and wall ribs were all worked out of one stone ; and ( 2 ) the lower horizontal, constituting what is known as the tas-de-charge ( q. v.

In the case of a shortage of skin, the transverse part of the Zig-Zag incision is left open.

The lateral sulcus also contains the transverse temporal gyri, which are part of the primary and below the surface auditory cortex.

It arises from the upper border of the scapula, and occasionally from the superior transverse scapular ligament which crosses the scapular notch, its extent of attachment to the scapula varying from a few millimetres to 2. 5 cm.

It arises from the apex of the spinous process of the axis and passes laterally and slightly upward, to be inserted into the lower and back part of the transverse process of the atlas.

In human anatomy, the superior mesenteric artery ( SMA ) arises from the anterior surface of the abdominal aorta, just inferior to the origin of the celiac trunk, and supplies the intestine from the lower part of the duodenum through two-thirds of the transverse colon, as well as the pancreas.

At the instant of any observation of an object, the apparent position of the object is displaced from its true position by an amount which depends solely upon the transverse component of the velocity of the observer, with respect to the vector of the incoming beam of light ( i. e., the line actually taken by the light on its path to the observer ).

In contrast, stellar aberration is independent of the distance of a celestial object from the observer, and depends only on the observer's instantaneous transverse velocity in certain frame of reference, at the moment of observation.

The light beam from a distant object cannot itself have any transverse velocity component, or it could not ( by definition ) be seen by the observer, since it would miss the observer.

Another way to state this is that the emitting object may have a transverse velocity with respect to the observer, but any light beam emitted from it which reaches the observer, cannot, for it must have been previously emitted in such a direction that its transverse component has been " corrected " for.

They always used two-stroke engines and, from 1931, the company was a pioneer in front-wheel drive and transverse mounting.

So the parameters are: a — distance from center C to either vertex b — length of a perpendicular segment from each vertex to the asymptotes c — distance from center C to either Focus point, F < sub > 1 </ sub > and F < sub > 2 </ sub >, and θ — angle formed by each asymptote with the transverse axis.

) There are variants of μSR, e. g. muon spin rotation, which is affected by the presence of a magnetic field applied transverse to the muon beam direction ( since muons are typically produced in a spin-polarized state from the decay of pions ), and avoided level crossing ( ALC ), which is also called level crossing resonance ( LCR ).

The DKW Schnellaster, manufactured from 1949 to 1962 was a small monospace ( or one-box ) design featuring its front wheels set forward of the passenger cabin, a short, sloping aerodynamic hood, front-wheel drive, transverse engine, flat load floor throughout with flexible seating and cargo accommodations – the key design ingredients that describe the modern minivan configuration popularized in such notable examples as the Renault Espace and Chrysler Voyager / Caravan minivans.

The recorder is held outwards from the player's lips ( rather than to the side, like the " transverse " flute ).

It was designed to test the transverse Doppler effect – the redshift of light from a moving source in a direction perpendicular to its velocity – which had been predicted by Einstein in 1905.

Recovery from transverse myelitis usually begins between weeks 2 and 12 following onset and may continue for up to 2 years in some patients.

From the symptoms and signs, it may be very difficult to distinguish acute transverse myelitis from these conditions and it is almost invariably necessary to perform an emergency magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI ) scan or computerised tomographic ( CT ) myelogram.

The prognosis for significant recovery from acute transverse myelitis is poor in approximately 66 % of the cases ; that is, significant long-term disabilities will remain.

** The open flute family, in which the player's lips form a stream of air that goes directly from the players lips to the edge, such as transverse flutes and end-blown flutes.

For over twenty years, Mitchell has suffered pain from nerve damage, caused by transverse myelitis, and is a supporter of the Neuropathy Trust .< ref > Neuropathy Trust accessed 27 Jun 2007

The vagus nerve supplies motor parasympathetic fibers to all the organs except the suprarenal ( adrenal ) glands, from the neck down to the second segment of the transverse colon.

This is a transverse section of the striatum from a structural MR image.

The New Testament writings about the crucifixion of Jesus do not speak specifically about the shape of that cross, but the early writings that do speak of its shape, from about the year 100 on, describe it as shaped like the letter T ( the Greek letter tau ) or as composed of an upright and a transverse beam, sometimes with a small ledge in the upright.

** The greater omentum ( or gastrocolic ) hangs from the greater curve of the stomach and loops down in front of the intestines before curving back upwards to attach to the transverse colon.

The transverse wavenumbers can be specified from the standing wave boundary conditions for a rectangular geometry crossection with dimensions a and b:

The transverse processes are large ; they project laterally and downward from the lateral masses, and serve for the attachment of muscles which assist in rotating the head.
