Mechanism of Sensitivity Changes of Sense Organs

The Physiology of Sense Organs

to the non-sporeforming anaerobes (Bacteroidaceae, anaerobic cocci, Lacto-bacteria and Corynebacteria, Actinomycetes). The book by Smith and Holdeman, published as part of the American Lecture Series in Clinical Microbiology, fills a void. Both authors have been working in the Anaerobic Bacteriology Laboratory at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute for years and draw on extensive experience, par...

Making sense of the role of sense organs in trichotillomania

postnatal studies of bats (pipistrellus kuhlii and miniopterus schreibersii) & histomorphology and histochemistry studies of organs and diseases of (neurergus microspilotus and n. kaiseri)

1. to determine whether difference in birth body mass influenced growth performance in pipistrellus kuhlii we studied a total of 12 captive-born neonates. bats were assigned to two body mass groups: light birth body mass (lbw: 0.89 ± 0.05, n=8) and heavy birth body mass (hbw: 1.35 ± 0.08, n=4). heavier body mass at birth was associated with rapid postnatal growth (body mass and forearm length) ...

The labyrinthine sense organs of the frog.

A study of the macula and crista organs of the frog's labyrinth with the use of an improved method of histological preparation has shown these endings to be more complex than heretofore believed. The structure lying over the layer of sensory and supporting cells is not a single "gelatinous" body as commonly described, but consists of two distinct layers with separate functions. In all these end...

Making sense of palaeoclimate sensitivity

Many palaeoclimate studies have quantified pre-anthropogenic climate change to calculate climate sensitivity (equilibrium temperature change in response to radiative forcing change), but a lack of consistent methodologies produces a wide range of estimates and hinders comparability of results. Here we present a stricter approach, to improve intercomparison of palaeoclimate sensitivity estimates...
