Operating excitation forces of the linear vibratory system are normally determined by direct measurement techniques using load cells, strain gauges, etc. But, hydraulic forces of the rotating turbomachinery such as centrifugal pumps are exerted on an impeller due to asymmety of the flow by the interaction between pump impeller and volute. So, investigations of wide range of hydraulic designs and geometric deviations are difficult by direct method. This paper presents a hybrid approach for fourier transformed operational excitation forces, which uses pseudo-inverse matrix of the transfer matrix for the system and the measured vibrational data with standard installed pump. The determination of the transfer function matrix is based on a linear rotor/stationary system and steady state harmonic response in finite element analysis. And, vibrational data is collected in both vertical and horizontal directions at inboard and outboard bearing housings. The results of the process may be enhanced by making acceleration measurements at many more locations than there are forces to be determined.

Chicken monocular head and eye optokinetic nystagmus (OKN) were observed by coil recordings after intravitreal administration of GABA antagonists (picrotoxin and bicuculline) into the opened and closed eye. Before injection of drugs the chicken displayed an OKN for T-N stimulation being more efficient in evoking this visuomotor reflex than for N-T stimulation. The injection of GABA antagonist into the opened eye provoked a decrease or disappearance of the head and eye OKN. On the other hand, the injection of GABA antagonist into the closed eye, the head and eye OKN augmented. Thus, GABA antagonist abolished the directional asymmetry of the head and eye OKN, indicating the involvement of GABAergic mechanisms in the inhibition of the N-T component of the monocular OKN.
