Fuelling the nuclear ring of NGC 1097

Galactic bars can drive cold gas inflows towards the centres of galaxies. The gas transport happens primarily through the so-called bar dust lanes, which connect the galactic disc at kpc scales to the nuclear rings at hundreds of pc scales much like two gi ...

Principle and Analysis of Radial-Force-Based Swirling Actuator for Low-Speed High-Torque Applications

Adrien Jean-Michel Thabuis

This article proposes a swirling actuator that uses the electromagnetic radial force and mechanical gears to generate rotational torque. The proposed actuator generates a rotating radial force between an inner stator and a swirler. The gears on the swirler ...

The neural correlates of non-retinotopic motion integration as revealed by high-density EEG

Michael Herzog, Gijs Plomp, Yvonne Evelina Thunell

Under normal viewing conditions, due to the motion of objects and to eye movements, the retinotopic representation of the environment constantly changes. Yet we perceive the world as stable, and we easily keep track of moving objects. Here, we investigated ...
