چکیده
MARTONYI, B. AND E. S. VALENSTEIN. On drinkometers: problems and an inexpensive photocell solution. PHYSIOL. BEHAV. 7 (6) 913-914, 1971.-Electronic contact switches may interfere with measurements of taste discrimination and also the ability to utilize physiological recording or stimulation techniques simultaneously. An inexpensive and simplyconstructed photocell-drinkometer solution to both these problems is presented.

VAMP: a video activity monitoring processor for the registration of animal locomotor activity.
In many bioenergetic investigations, the discrimination of resting and activity metabolism represents an important problem. Personal observation, a possible solution to this problem, becomes very impractical in highly automated long-term experiments. An adequate method of measuring activity should meet the following demands: it should be able to quantify the movement of several objects simultan...
متن کاملThe precision of video and photocell tracking systems and the elimination of tracking errors with infrared backlighting.
Automated tracking offers a number of advantages over both manual and photocell tracking methodologies, including increased reliability, validity, and flexibility of application. Despite the advantages that video offers, our experience has been that video systems cannot track a mouse consistently when its coat color is in low contrast with the background. Furthermore, the local lab lighting can...
متن کاملAn efficient method for the numerical solution of Helmholtz type general two point boundary value problems in ODEs
In this article, we propose and analyze a computational method for numerical solution of general two point boundary value problems. Method is tested on problems to ensure the computational eciency. We have compared numerical results with results obtained by other method in literature. We conclude that propose method is computationally ecient and eective.
متن کاملOptimizing the power output of a ZnO photocell by piezopotential.
Using a metal-semiconductor-metal back-to-back Schottky contacted ZnO microwire device, we have demonstrated the piezoelectric effect on the output of a photocell. An externally applied strain produces a piezopotential in the microwire, which tunes the effective height of the Schottky barrier (SB) at the local contact, consequently changing the transport characteristics of the device. An equiva...
متن کاملB-Spline Solution of Boundary Value Problems of Fractional Order Based on Optimal Control Strategy
In this paper, boundary value problems of fractional order are converted into an optimal control problems. Then an approximate solution is constructed from translations and dilations of a B-spline function such that the exact boundary conditions are satisfied. The fractional differential operators are taken in the Riemann-Liouville and Caputo sense. Several example are given and the optimal err...
