A dynamic supine stander for subjects with disabilities leading to prolonged immobility
… of the body. Disabilities that lead to prolonged immobility will result in a decrease of the osteogenic processes and an increase in resorption of bone by osteoclast cells. This disuse modeling can lead to osteopenia, osteoporosis, and subsequent non-traumatic fractures. These disabilities are …

The effects of social experience and inductive procedure on tonic immobility in domestic chicks
Previous studies on tonic immobility in fowl have used a variety of inductive procedures and rearing conditions. The present study sought to parametrically evaluate the effects of three common methods of induction: ventral, dorsal and lateral placements within the context of groups of varying …

Food intake regulation and tonic immobility in the domestic fowl as medicated by tyrosine and tryptophan
… administered tyrosine and tryptophan on tonic immobility (TI) were also tested. Duration and susceptibility of TI were unaffected by tyrosine and tryptophan, suggesting that these amino acids acted upon mechanisms specifically involved in the regulation of food intake.

Obscure, unclassed and undefinable: social immobility for mixed races in the nineteenth century presented in Jude the Obscure and Of One Blood
<p>This paper examines the problematic nature of western reliance on class-based societies through looking at postbellum United States and Victorian England through a transatlantic lens. I prove how the classification system produces a group of “unclassed” peoples based on a racial and intellectual …

Behavior-genetic analyses in Japanese quail chicks
… some of the biological factors affecting tonic immobility in young Japanese quail. Both duration and incidence of tonic immobility were measured on each bird at six days and again at 12 days of age. A significant line effect was found at both ages, and rankings of these lines for duration and …

Serotonergic involvement in the behavioral depression produced by intermittent swim stress
… hallmark features of behavioral depression are immobility, as determined in a Forced Swim Test (FST) and escape learning deficits, as determined by operant tasks such as the shuttlebox test. In Experiment 1, rats were exposed to either ISS or confinement and, 24 hours later, subjected to a swim …

The Role of Neuronal Leak Channels in Anesthesia
… including reversible lossof consciousness and immobility. The mechanism of action of VAs remains oneof the great, unsolved puzzles of neuroscience and medicine. Recent geneticstudies revealed that mutations that change anesthetic sensitivity in modelorganisms alter specific sodium (NCA or …

Differences in sympathetic nervous response due to gender
… freeze response, otherwise referred to as tonic immobility, is being explored here for its survival value in the specific context of gender. It is our belief that in situations of interpersonal aggression, females may be more suited to survive by utilizing a tonic response when they are …

Automation of In-Bed Repositioning, Assistance to Sitting, and Transfer for Bedridden Patients via Robot Arms and Strap Interface
Mobility and immobility as fundamental aspects of a patient’s health. There are several factors that contribute to mobility impairments, including various medical conditions and injuries. Prolonged immobility has detrimental effects many of the body’s vital organ systems and decreases quality of …

An investigation into the anthelmintic properties of seed extracts from endophyte containing pasture grasses
… there was no observable difference in the immobility of larvae incubated in either AR542, nil Tall fescue or meadow fescue (P>0.05). For rye grass varieties, LD50 for larval immobility was significantly greater in nil RG and wild-type RG than either AR1 or AR37. For T. colubriformis larvae …
