With few exceptions, afferent neurons in the various sensory systems respond to wide ranges of stimuli. In those for which stimulus dimensions are understood, response functions these may be described; they usually simple with one maximum, although many variations exist. chemical senses, not known, and thus neural have never been described. The present paper presents methods determine senses. A tentative function taste is developed, preliminary steps taken toward disclosing dimensions.
We have fabricated a wide-bandwidth, high dynamic range, low-noise cryogenic amplifier based on superconducting kinetic inductance traveling-wave device. The device was made from NbTiN and consisted of long, coplanar waveguide silicon chip. By adding DC current an RF pump tone we are able to generate parametric amplification using three-wave mixing. devices exhibit gain more than 15 dB across instantaneous bandwidth 4 8 GHz. total usable bandwidth, including both sides the signal-idler...
We consider a free-electron model of exchange coupling between transition-metal ferromagnetic films separated by paramagnetic metal spacer. The minority-spin energy bands in the ferromagnets are matched to those majority-spin electrons experience repulsive potential arising from lack corresponding states height barrier is equal exchange-energy gap ferromagnets. show how model, applicable trilayer film such as Fe/Cr/Fe or Co/Ru/Co, generates an infinite sum terms with coefficients...
Nineteen odorants were arranged in a two-dimensional space by ALSCAL, nonmetric multidimensional scaling procedure, on the basis of similarity psychological odor quality. Adjective scales concerning hedonic and 'tactile' qualities related to spatial arrangement Physiocochemical properties such as Raman spectra, Laffort's parameters, functional group well.
The spatial organization of the cell depends upon intracellular trafficking cargos hauled along microtubules and actin filaments by molecular motor proteins kinesin, dynein, myosin. Although much is known about how single motors function, there significant evidence that in vivo are carried multiple motors. While some aspects function have received attention, cargo itself —and on cargo—affects transport has not been considered. To address this, we developed a three-dimensional Monte Carlo...
Summary Mice of strains deficient in hemolytic complement have been immunized with sera positive for activity. The resulting antisera react only from mice Typing a variety individuals both the serum antigen and activity indicate that same locus, Hc, determines two. An absorbed rabbit antiserum prepared against partially purified also reacts This suggests allele at previously described as Hc0, no recognizable product.
Abstract Our understanding of the sense taste is largely based on research designed and interpreted in terms traditional four “basic” tastes: sweet, sour, salty, bitter, now a few more. This concept basic tastes has no rational definition to test, thus it not been tested. As demonstration, preliminary attempt test one common but arbitrary psychophysical included this article; that are unique being able account for other tastes. was falsified stimuli do about as well words stimuli. To extent...
Thresholds for nine food odors were found two groups of subjects, young and elderly. Dravniek's dynamic triangle olfactometer, which employs the forced-choice, principle controls guessing was used. Elderly subjects to have a considerably reduced sensitivity these compared with subjects.
