FIGURE 9.1 Amplitude and phase profiles of focal fields. Amplitude (a) and (b) phase in the focal xy-plane. Amplitude (c) and phase (d) in the yz-plane. The phase difference below and above the focal plane is a signature of the Gouy phase shift. The propagation phase was subtracted for clarity. Calculations are for a 1.1 NA water immersion lens and the wavelength is 800 nm. In the panels the lateral axis runs from -1.0 xm to 1.0 xm and the axial axis from -3 4m to 3 xm. 

Conceptual Use of the Projected Lateral Axis in the Two Mayan Cultures... 

Despite these similarities, there is a crucial difference between the two groups in the conceptual structuring of space. It concerns the projected lateral axis, that is, the axis of the space in front of the torso (thus, projected ), that is parallel to the shoulder line. For Mopan Mayans, the projected lateral axis is not contrastive in the sense that to-the-right-of and to-the-left-of relations do not play a role in the conceptual handling of space. In contrast, the projected lateral axis is contrastive for Yucatec Mayans. 

In contrast, in the single example from a Mopan story, time flow and plot development are represented along the sagittal (i.e. front-back) axis. There is no Mopan example in which the projected lateral axis is used to represent time-flow or plot development. 

Paradigmatic contrast Also spatialized in both Yucatec and Mopan gesture are cases of paradigmatic contrast, in which two things that are the same in some respects but are different in other respects are contrasted. Yucatec Mayans use the projected lateral axis to represent this contrast. 

Full details of our-home-made spectromicroscope system have been described previously [21]. The set-up is shown in Figure 30.1a. A near-infrared femtosecond pulse train at 800 nm is illuminated on a line (one lateral axis, denoted as the X axis) on a specimen using a resonant scanning mirror oscillating at 7.9 kHz. Total multiphoton-induced fluorescence from the linear region was focused on the slit of an imaging polychromator. 

Asked what he thought the initial expectations for genomic data were, Dr Michael C. Venuti, former head of research at Arris (later Axys) Pharmaceuticals, and now CEO of BioSeek, put it wryly. I think everyone in biotech and pharma hoped that we would take out our secret decoder ring and there d be all kinds of things in there that would be obvious if we turned on our computers at the right time of day, he said. I think everyone eventually came to the realization that it s what everyone did with the information that matters, and it s still what anyone does with the information that matters. ... 

Figure 9. Computation of the difference of the surface free energies, /f, of a uniform rim and a deformed rim. The vertical axis is the difference of the surface free energy between before and after the deformation, /f, and the lateral axis is the number of nodes in the model rims. Three curves in the graph are for three different amplitudes offluctuation, e, given to thickness of the model rim, and the horizontal line corresponds to the rim without deformation, e= 0.

The dramatic stimulation of parallel fiber growth by hyperthyroidism may have functional consequences for the cerebellum, since longer parallel fibers will excite Purkinje cells more laterally placed than these same fibers would normally contact. Since the projections of Purkinje cells to specific deep cerebellar nuclei differ depending on where the Purkinje cells are placed along the medial-lateral axis of the folia (Bell and Dow, 1967 Palay and Chan-Palay, 1974), additional Purkinje cells may be excited by these longer parallel fibers, which will then influence inappropriate deep nucei, leading to abnormal functioning of this circuitry. 

The appearance of the primitive streak provides an unequivocal indication of the anterior-posterior axis and helps with the orientation during dissection. Early gas-trulation embryos are therefore used in experiments that demand knowledge of the source of cells in the anterior-posterior and medial-lateral axis. However, if only a distinction between proximal and distal epiblast is required, both pre- (without the primitive streak) and early gastrulation embryos can be used. 

The vertebrae, particularly those of the lumbar spine and thoracic spine, also increase in size. The enlargement involves the anteroposterior axis of the bone more than the lateral axis. Consequently, vertebral enlargement interferes with the patient s flexion, and he has difficulty bending to touch the floor. The increase in skeletal size is not associated with a corresponding increase in muscular strength and, in spite of his frightening appearance, the acromegalic is often feeble and clumsy.
