Working with C. S. Sherrington, 1918–24
نویسنده
چکیده
Sir Charles Sherrington FRS (1857–1952) was one of the most notable neurophysiologists of the twentieth century. After studies in Cambridge and London, he became a lecturer in physiology at St Thomas’s Hospital, London, then Professor of Physiology at Liverpool in 1895, and then Waynflete Professor of Physiology at Oxford (1913–35). His career focused on the structure and function of the nervous system, exemplified by his analysis of the reflex arc, summarized in The integrative action of the nervous system (1906), a significant landmark in modern neurophysiology. He described the reciprocal innervation of antagonistic muscles, by which the activity of one set of excited muscles is integrated with another set of inhibited muscles; he coined the word ‘synapse’ to describe the junction between nerve cells; he studied numerous sense organs; and he mapped the motor areas of the cerebral cortex of mammals. He was elected FRS in 1893 and knighted in 1922. He was President of the Royal Society from 1920 to 1925 and shared the 1932 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine with Lord Adrian FRS. This interview with Mr T. J. Surman was conducted in Cardiff in June 1996, transcribed and edited by E. M. (Tilli) Tansey, and funded by the Physiological Society. Some of the interview has been previously published in the Physiological Society’s newsletter and is reproduced with permission. The original tape and transcript will be deposited in the Physiological Society Archives, Archives and Manuscripts, The Wellcome Library, London.

متن کاملOptimization of Hot Workability in Ti-IF Steel by Using the Processing Map
Processing map for hot working of Ti-IF steel has been developed in the temperature range of 750 to 1100 °C and strain rate of 0.01 to 100 s-1. This map in the austenite region exhibits a single domain with a peak efficiency of 45% occurring at 1025 °C and strain rate of 0.02 s-1. The domain extends over the temperature range of 1000 to 1100 °C and strain rate range of 0.01 to 1 s-1. The true s...

Additional data on the synlophe and morphological measurements are provided for the heligmonellids Stilestrongylus aculeata (Travassos, 1918) and Stilestrongylus eta (Travassos, 1937), collected from Akodon montensis Thomas, 1913, of the Atlantic Forest, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The synlophe of S. aculeata is characterized by 19 cuticular middle body ridges in males and 24 cuticular middle body ...

Order-Parameter Flow in the SK Spin-Glass II: Inclusion of Microscopic Memory Effects
We develop further a recent dynamical replica theory to describe the dynamics of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick spin-glass in terms of closed evolution equations for macroscopic order parameters. We show how microscopic memory effects can be included in the formalism through the introduction of a dynamic order parameter function: the joint spin-field distribution. The resulting formalism describes...
