Inflorescence: 7--14 cm; branches many, 4--9 cm, generally tan; axis segment with a wide membranous groove.
Inflorescence: spike-like, 8--20 cm, cylindric, stiff, straight, breaking at nodes; spikelets alternate, 2-ranked, appressed, embedded in axis, falling with axis segment, lowest included in sheath.
When the anomaly index of a semi-major axis segment or inclination segment exceeds the corresponding threshold, a specific type of orbit manoeuvre with specific magnitude is declared.
Secondly, two anomaly indexes are introduced to measure the anomaly degree of the semi-major axis segment and the inclination segment with respect to the propagated states.
Spikelet: paired, dorsally compressed; sessile spikelet bisexual, glumes > florets, membranous, florets 2, lower vestigial, upper fertile, lemma translucent, tip awned; stalked spikelet staminate or sterile, pedicel hairy; spikelet pair and subtending axis segment breaking as a unit.
Spikelet: paired, pair with subtending axis segment falling as 1 unit; lower spikelet staminate or sterile, upper spikelet bisexual; glumes 1--2 mm, unequal, awned, lower glume 2-veined, 2-awned, awns 1--3.5 mm, upper glume 1-veined, 1-awned, awns 2.5--5 mm; lemma 3--4 mm, short soft-hairy on lower 2/3, awn 1.5--3 mm; anthers 1.5--2 mm, yellow.
A couple of test methods have been investigated for aspheric off-axis segments.
A matrix analytical compliance model is developed to evaluate the out-of-plane quasi-static response of general flexible hinges formed of serially-connected straight- and circular-axis segments with small and constant out-of-plane width, variable in-plane thickness, under the coupled action of bending and torsion.
Ten to fourteen short-axis segments were recorded depending on the overall size of the left ventricle.
