Neurostimulation in tactile perception
Full text linkNeurostimulation techniques are used to study the healthy human central and peripheral nervous system non-invasively by stimulating neural tissue magnetically or electrically. Such approaches have been successfully applied to study the motor system as well as several other brain systems. This chapter will focus on stimulation of the somatosensory system. Typically, neurostimulation is applied to a certain brain area by positioning a coil (e.g., in transcranial magnetic stimulation, TMS) or an electrode (e.g., transcranial electrical stimulation, TES) on the scalp location over the brain area of interest. When primary motor cortex (M1) is stimulated with TMS, motor-evoked potentials (MEPs) and twitches are observed in the targeted muscles of the body. However, unlike over M1, stimulation to somatosensory and other cortices does not produce immediately observable outputs. This introduces problems of localization and other challenges, such as the optimal experimental designs and behavioral tasks, when using neurostimulation to study tactile perception. This chapter will describe and evaluate these approaches. Practical and participant-specific difficulties will be noted. Neurostimulation methods offer relatively cheap and reliable means of modulating somatosensation, yet care is required to ensure that the experimental design is adequate, that the optimal location is stimulated, and that the data are able to answer your theoretical question

Synthesis and coordination of stibine and bismuthine ligands with transition metals
No full textThe complexes trans[RuX2L4] (X = Cl, Br, I; L = AsMe2Ph, SbMe2Ph) and trans-[RuX2(L-L)2] (X = Cl, Br, I; L-L = Ph2Sb(CH2)3SbPh2) have been prepared from RuCl3.nH2O, LiX and L and from [Ru(dmf)6][CF3SO3]3 (dmf = dimethylformamide), LiX and L or L-L. Oxidation of trans-[RuX2L4] and trans-[RuX2(L-L)2] to trans[RuX2L4][BF4] and trans-[RuX2(L-L)2][BF4] has been achieved either using AgBF4 in CH2Cl2 or concentrated HNO3 in aqueous HBF4. The complexes have been characterised by analysis, UV-Vis, IR and 1H NMR spectroscopy and the RuII -RuIII oxidations probed by cyclic voltammetry.Complexes of the distibinomethane ligands, Ph2SbCH2SbPh2 (dpsm) or Me2SbCH2SbMe2 (dmsm) with copper, silver, gold, platinum, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium and osmium have been prepared. Complexes have been characterised by analysis, mass spectrometry and multinuclear NMR (1H, 13C,{1H}, 63Cu, 109Ag and 195Pt). The single crystal structures of cis, trans-[{PtCl2(dpsm)}2], cis, trans-[{PtBr2(dpsm)}2] and cis, trans-[{PdBr2(dpsm)}2] have been determined and show unique geometries. Single crystal structures of trans, trans-[{PdI2(dpsm)}2] and [RuI2(dpsm)3] have also been determined the last being the first reported example of dpsm acting as a chelate.Complexes of triphenylantimony and the distibinomethane ligands with manganese and rhenium carbonyls and carbonyl halides have been prepared for [Mn2(CO)10], [Re2(CO)10], [Mn(CO)5Cl] and [Re(CO)5Cl]. The single crystal X-ray structures of ax-[Mn2(CO)9(SbPh3)], [Mn2(CO)6(dpsm)2], [Mn(CO)5(SbPh3)][CR3SO3] and fac-[Re(CO)3Cl(SbPh3)2] have also been obtained.Substituted group 6 carbonyl complexes of the distibinomethane ligands of types [M(CO)5(η1dpsm)], [(OC)4M(μ-dpsm)2M(CO)4] and [(OC)4M(μ-dmsm)2M(CO)4] (M = Cr, Mo, W) have been prepared. The single crystal structures of all tungsten complexes have also been obtained. The effect of coordination on the C-Sb-C angles and the Sb-C lengths in dpsm and SbPh3 has also been examined using the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD).</p
Pastiches de Sherlock Holmes
No full textSherlock Holmes a donné lieu à une multitude d’adaptations et de pastiches. J’ai découvert que même Conan Doyle a écrit des pastiches de Sherlock Holmes. On trouve des Sherlock Holmes contre Dracula, des Sherlock Holmes contre Fu Manchu, des trucs assez incroyables. Et c’est quasiment toujours intéressant. La Solution à 7 % de Nicholas Meyer, qui explique pourquoi Sherlock est devenu détective, est un très bon roman. L’Ultime défi de Sherlock Holmes, de Michael Dibdin, où Sherlock Holmes est ..

Depression in elderly life sentence prisoners
No full textBACKGROUND: The life sentence population is growing older and increasing in number. Despite the potential negative physical and social environment in prisons little is known about the prevalence or aetiology of depression in elderly 'lifers'. AIMS: To determine the prevalence and associated risk factors of depression in elderly life sentence prisoners. METHOD: One hundred and twenty-one elderly life/indeterminate sentence prisoners from two category B prisons in the United Kingdom were interviewed using the Geriatric Depression Scale and the relationship with prison and non prison specific variables analysed. RESULTS: Over half of the prisoners scored above the threshold for mild depression. The length of sentence served and other prison related variables were not associated with the depression score. However, the imported chronic physical ill health was strongly related to depression score. CONCLUSIONS: Depression in long term prisoners is common and is related to the burden of imported chronic ill health as opposed to specific effects of imprisonmen
