Stimuli were applied to the plantar surface of the hindpaw and each trial consisted of the application of a single von Frey hair 10 times in descending force order, each for a period of 2 3 s.
Once a positive withdrawal response was established, the paw was retested starting with the next descending von Frey filament until no response occurred; the testing of responses to von Frey filaments of ascending and descending force was then repeated until a reproducible threshold force was determined.
It's as if rising and descending forces acted simultaneously in Angelico, with gravity given a slight edge.
Scorched roof tops and burnt tress were visible in the valleys above, from where smoke had also rapidly descended, forcing roads to shut and scores of people – residents and holiday makers – to be evacuated.
HR was first slowed with a sinus node inhibitor (zatebradine), and atrial pacing to progressively increase the HR caused a positive inotropic response (assessed by maximum positive first derivative of LV pressure, LV dP/dtmax) up to a HR of 282 beats/min with the onset of a descending limb of the force-frequency relation (FFR) at 332 beats/min.
On another day, when a gunshot was heard within the 30-square-mile search area, agents descended in force on a farmer who said he was trying to exterminate a meddlesome rabbit.
The report found that most of the 471 officers did not work weekends, when most of the calls for help occurred, and that crime-fighting units were so disorganized that one narcotics unit once descended with force on a major drug suspect only to find that another squad had gotten there first.
The most vocal opponents are the state association of insurance agents, and the drug companies are about to descend in force, because there's a lot in there the drug industry won't like.
He had just reached the summit of the Titan Dome and was beginning to descend, the force of gravity propelling him toward his destination, which was only about a hundred miles away.
He took issue with some of the State Department's priorities during the crisis, such as its apparent concern that armed, uniformed U.S. forces descending upon an unstable scene in a foreign country could worsen the situation.
With British forces descending on New York, Adams delivered a two-hour tour de force proclamation declaring that Britain's encroachment on God-given freedoms could not stand.
