THE TENDON-JERK AND MUSCLE-JERK IN DISEASE, AND ESPECIALLY IN POSTERIOR SCLEROSIS1

Methods of tendon jerk reinforcement. The role of muscle activity in reflex excitability.

This study was designed to reconcile the following clinical observations: subjects with anxiety represented in muscle tension generally have hyperactive tendon jerks. Yet, muscle tension evidenced by incomplete relaxation frequently results in reflex depression and the tendon reflex can only be elicited by having the subject 'relax'. Under consideration were the observations by Hoffmann (1922) ...

Hypogenetic chaotic jerk flows

Cosmic Jerk, Snap and Beyond

We clarify the procedure for expressing the Friedmann equation in terms of directly measurable cosmological scalars constructed out of higher derivatives of the scale factor. We carry out this procedure for pure dust, Chaplygin gas and generalised Chaplygin gas energy–momentum tensors. In each case it leads to a constraint on the scalars thus giving rise to a test of General Relativity. We also...

the relationship between learners critical thinking ability and their performance in the reading sections of the tofel and ielts test

the study reflected in this thesis aims at finding out relationships between critical thinking (ct), and the reading sections of tofel and ielts tests. the study tries to find any relationships between the ct ability of students and their performance on reading tests of tofel and academic ielts. however, no research has ever been conducted to investigate the relationship between ct and the read...
