The primary goal of this research project is to extend our knowledge about the functional role of one of the most basic types of human reactions, the startle reflex. As pointed out earlier, although much is known about the startle reflex, there are clear gaps in our understanding of this ubiquitous human reaction. The most fundamental of these gaps relates to the functional reason humans are startled by intense sensory stimulation. The general assumption is that the startle reaction serves to…

Thomas Robert Malthus, Adam Smith and Karl Marx each address the influence of production and prices on the human population and well-being. Specifically, in relation to food, they had different expectations of the markets and growth in response to the industrial revolution. Malthus focuses on a big picture notion of food versus people, and how the human population will fight through scarcity. Smith concentrates on prosperity and its relation to the human population and productivity. Marx,…

Head Shakes and Dystonia Many people with dystonia experience head shake especially if the dystonia is affecting their neck. People often ask us about the difference between head shaking caused by essential tremor and that caused by dystonia. In this article Prof Karim explains what the differences are and how to tell if it is dystonia or not. A majority of the world’s population at some point use their head and neck muscles in order to carry or transport heavy goods. To do this, the control of…

Superfluid helium or He II is a macroscopic quantum fluid that exhibits extraordinary properties. %By applying the limit of low flow velocities, The behavior of the fluid can be understood using a Landau - Tisza model, where He II is considered to be a two-component fluid with independent velocity fields: the inviscid superfluid of density $\rho_s$, and the normal fluid of density $\rho_n$, where the total density $\rho$ = $\rho_s$ + $\rho_n$ \cite{Tisza,Landau}. The superfluid has neither…

number of remedial measures were to be applied which included tying down cables that snapped soon after installation, bumpers and inclined stay cables that all seemed to bare no fruits. The oscillations it received in relatively light winds was attributed as one of the major causes of its collapse. The oscillations were due to the wind vortex shedding in the bridge deck. The great failure then gave birth to the development of the engineering discipline of aerodynamics whose sole purpose was to…

sound is the oscillation of pressure in materials such as the atmosphere, water, or the earth. In spite of the fact that the domain for the pressure oscillations of sound is rather small, there is a significant difference in pressure between the weakest sound heard by a human being (such as the sound of the rustling of leaves), and the strongest sound heard by them (such as the launching of a missile, or an explosion). The size of such difference is measured by the range of the oscillations of…

In Robert Coles’ article, I Listen to My Parents and I Wonder What They Believe, he argues children perceive ethical issues and need guidance to develop their moral principles. Coles interviews numerous children and asks them questions regarding their moral beliefs. He uses the children’s moral questions and answers as evidence for his argument. Coles urges parents to engage with their children’s moral education to help their children avoid finding ‘wrong’ answers, and to help them establish a…

Chronic diseases of respiratory system are the fourth leading cause of death in the United States. They affect airways and lung function, one common obstructive lung disease is asthma. According to CDC.gov about 17.8 million adults and 6.8 million children are suffering from asthma [9]. According to world health organization estimates, 235 million people suffer from asthma worldwide [10]. Asthma disease doesn’t have obvious symptoms which makes it hard to diagnose, so major component of chronic…
