Summation

How do we know if something has the quality of being true? We usually rely on our own experiences or the experiences of others. We rely on what we can see, smell, hear, taste or touch. We use our five senses to perceive something as real, to a certain extent, but our thoughts, our beliefs, and our personal experiences usually tend to come between reality and the actual truth. We usually ask questions or people for advice and we tend to believe what others tell us. To what extent do we have to believe them? Is it because it seems true? Is it because it seems legit? The information that is given to us, how do we know if it is true? We have many questions, and not many accurate answers. We can be easily manipulated depending on how certain information has been acquired. The Conversation, The Lives of Others, and Truth in Numbers all record reality using technology. The Conversation uses tape recorders, The Lives of Others mainly uses a typewriter, and Truth in Numbers uses the internet. Technology and the accuracy derived from this source can be deceiving if the technology is manipulative in any way. In The Conversation, Harry Caul is a paranoid, lonely man whose job is to eavesdrop conversations. He is hired by Stan, the director’s assistant, to record Ann and Mark’s conversations. We find out later that Ann is the director’s wife, and Mark is her lover. He becomes obsessed with protecting these individuals after a conversation he records. A conversation that Caul believes…

POW for the Hay Baler You have five bales of hay and for whatever reason you are weighing them in each possible combination of two: A and B, A and C, A and D, A and E, B and C, and so forth. You wrote down the weights of all of the combinations but you didn't keep track of which weight matched each pair of bales. The weights of the pairs were 80, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 90, and 91.The task at hand is to find out how much each bale weighs. You also need to find out if your answer is the…

Mrs.Sommers demonstrates a lack of responsibility when she buys everything she sees. In the beginning, it shows how Ms.Sommers bargains for every last penny so she can get the best deal possible. It also shows how she thinks about how she will spend the money. That Mrs.Sommers will buy a lot of new items for her children. But then towards the end she goes towards everything that she sees. Whether it is a performance, new stockings, or even a restaurant for food. This demonstrates how Mrs.Sommers…

RENT: The rent for the term…

THE NONES OF SEPTEMBER had arrived, and so began the fortnight of games known to all citizens as the Ludi Romani. The four factions of Alexandria gathered at the Lageum amidst the massing throngs that swarmed in the hippodrome, all intent on a day spent in revelry and of racing, all intent on seeing Rubio of the Reds continue his winning ways. The placards and advertisements had heralded the Germani lad as the circus favorite, him reputedly having the finest quadriga of Libyans ever yoked and…

Their ability to eliminate alternative explanations has made summation and retardation tests the most widely accepted techniques used to demonstrate empirical evidence for inhibitory conditioning. Numerous researchers have used the two-test strategy to demonstrate inhibitory conditioning on an extensive range of subjects including invertebrates, animals and humans. However, many reviews have argued that summation and retardation tests lack control over procedures, allowing alternative…

In this experiment, we investigated electrically stimulated nerves n the forearm to display recruitment, summation, tetanus and conduction velocity of action potentials. Muscle are either directly joined to the bone or connected by tendons, which by definition are resilient bundles of collagen fibers. Motor nerves innervate the fibers of the skeletal muscles, which is controlled voluntarily. The action potential in a muscle fiber allows for an increase in the influx of calcium causing what we…

These neurons transduce, or convert, the light energy from the photon into electrical impulses that neurons are able to utilize. The impulse travels through the stimulus-receiving apparatuses(dendrites for non-specialized neurons) and into the cell body in which the signal is summarized. Neural summation is, in theory, the addition of electrical signal which will be used to determine whether or not the neuron will carry on the signal or not. This usually occurs within the cell body, however, in…

The introduction of this lab report discussed and elaborated how muscle contraction is an intricate and precise step-by-step process in the body. The concepts outlined at the introduction intertwine with the experiments performed in this laboratory. The experiments aimed to showcase the physiological cause and effect of skeletal muscle response towards various settings. For instance, the first experiment demonstrated spatial summation through the form of muscle recruitment. The cause of this…

muscle had an optimal length at which maximal force was achieved. The optimal length of a muscle corresponds to the optimal overlap of the contractile filaments, actin and myosin. Once we passed the optimal length of a muscle the contraction force decreased. Our results mean that the strength of skeletal muscle contractions in functioning organisms is dependent on the length the muscle was stretch prior to contraction. Summation of skeletal muscle contraction: As the inter-stimulus interval…
