TL;DR: In this paper, a uniformly loaded plate, clamped on two lateral edges and on both ends, is proposed as a model of the basilar membrane in the spiral-shaped cochlea of the mammalian inner ear.
Abstract: A uniformly loaded plate, clamped on two lateral edges and on both ends, is proposed as a model of the basilar membrane in the spiral-shaped cochlea of the mammalian inner ear. The vibrational modes are principally radial rather than arcwise, as proposed in [4] and approved by several notable authorities, but spiral shaping would seem to require some arcwise “wave travel” properties as well. Curvatures of arc segments of the cochlea helical spiral and the corresponding span of the basilar membrane across the cochlea appear to be principally responsible for frequency discrimination. Surprisingly, the effects of curvature have not been included in most mathematical models, though the effects of spiral shaping are always assumed in studies of comparative physiology to be the basis of a frequency selection principle. In including the effect of the basilar membrane span width on frequency selection, especially in a “resonance” or “natural frequency” or “eigenvalue” type of argument, the proposed model is consonant with the classical theory of hearing of Helmholtz, but there are some differences with classical theories that are quite basic. In particular, the proposed model seems to have the capacity to accommodate recently observed effects given in [2] that have caused a renewed search for models, but detailed analyses are not entered into at this time.

TL;DR: An early disparity between what was hoped would be a general theory of electrically active cells and an observation of a nearly linear relation on the number of impulses evoked by an ionic membrane current stimulus in a stretch receptor of a frog is resolved on the basis of simple assumptions about self-inhibition.
Abstract: An early disparity between what it was hoped would be a general theory of electrically active cells and an observation of a nearly linear relation on the number of impulses evoked by an ionic membrane current stimulus in a stretch receptor of a frog is resolved on the basis of simple assumptions about self-inhibition that seem to be justified by what is now thought to be the microstructure and function of known self-inhibiting neural structures.

TL;DR: Preliminary evidence was presented indicating that fusidic-acid-resistant mutants inactivate fUSidic acid to a greater extent than sensitive cells.
Abstract: Penicillin-resistant staphylococci were examined to determine the spontaneous mutation frequency of resistance to antistaphylococcal antibiotics including fusidic acid, cephalothin and lincomycin. Fusidic-acid-resistant mutants were obtained about twenty times more frequently than cephalothin-resistant mutants and about one hundred times more frequently than lincomycin-resistant mutants. Among the fusidic-acid-resistant mutants, ninety-seven per cent were resistant to 20 μg/ml and thirty percent to 100 μg/ml of the drug. The fusidic-acid-resistant mutants had prolonged generation times not related to the level of drug resistance. Cross-resistance between fusidic acid and cephalothin and between lincomycin and erythromycin was detected. Preliminary evidence was presented indicating that fusidic-acid-resistant mutants inactivate fusidic acid to a greater extent than sensitive cells.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a simple analytic method for the prediction of the drag of bodies in the boundary layer and for the design optimization of fairings and other bodies immersed in a boundary layer.
Abstract: It is desirable to develop a simple analytic method for the prediction of the drag of bodies in the boundary layer and for the design optimization of fairings and other bodies immersed in the boundary layer. This problem has been attacked by describing the sheared flowfield in terms of Poisson's equation, VV = -fPoisson's equation has been solved using a method of finite differences and by direct solution. These solutions which are basically perfect fluid methods, have been compared with the results of experiments conducted in a small wind tunnel in which the sheared flow was produced by means of contoured honeycomb blocks. The comparison indicates good agreement except for regions of separated flows.
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that axons of nerve and muscle cells and possibly interconnected chains of inactive cells can carry very low-amplitude, high-frequency signals at high speed, thus providing a transmission mechanism for a hypothetical early warning alert system without resorting to wireless explanations, which appear to be suggested in some current responsible literature.
Abstract: It is seen that axons of nerve and muscle cells and possibly interconnected chains of inactive cells can carry very low-amplitude, high-frequency signals at high speed, thus providing a transmission mechanism for a hypothetical early warning alert system without resorting to wireless explanations, which appear to be suggested in some current responsible literature. The early warning alert mode would be one of four modes that nerve and muscle axons are known to operate in, depending on the amplitude and frequency range of loading. The difference in transmission mechanisms in each mode is analyzed here as characterized principally by differences in the form of line inductance. Slow subthreshold processes seem to show virtually no inductance properties and they appear to spread by a diffusion mechanism; action potentials provide a line inductance (balanced by other line parameters) of the form L/(πa2) and give a propagation rate proportional to the square root of the radius, whereas our hypothetical very low- amplitude and high-frequency mode provides a pure inductance of the form L/(2πa, giving an extremely fast rate of propagation independent of the radius. Several simple physical analogues are found to occur where different levels of loadings give very different behavior. The properties of a rod of heat-conducting combustible materials are discussed in this connection.
