The amplitude and phase characteristics of an EOD can be manipulated in order to elucidate the receptive fields of the electrosensory neurons of the lateral line lobe. The experiment described above involving the Eigenmannia in a two-compartment chamber apparatus allows researchers to identify the approximate location of the neuron’s receptive field responding to amplitude modulations (Heiligenberg 1987). In order to identify the approximate location of the receptive fields for neurons that are…

edifying as seeing a dog in a parody of breeches and a feather hat walking on his hind legs” (Conrad, 1990, pg. 33). In this passage, Marlow begins to show he is following in the footsteps of Kurtz and his old self is slipping away. At the end of the book, he is introduced to the intended for Kurtz and the audience sees the transformation complete. “The last word he pronounced was- your name” (Conrad, 1990, 71).

Prior to the 19th century it was believed that students with special needs were not able to be taught. Historically, the education of students with disabilities has progressed from neglect, to institutions, to pullout programs and mainstreaming and is continuing in the direction of full inclusion for all students with disabilities (Bradely, Sears & Switlick, 1997).

This…
