The role of the ventrolateral medulla in the pressor reflex to static muscular contraction
… kynurenic acid. The extracellular single unit discharge patterns in 107 of 167 VLM neurons increased by more than 70% during muscular contraction. Computer signal averaging techniques were used to determine if VLM unit discharge correlated temporally with a 2 to 6 Hz rhythm of sympathetic …

Low-frequency activity in the primate superior colliculus activates a head turning synergy: evidence using neck EMG recordings
… gaze shifts. We simultaneously recorded dSC unit discharge and electromyographic (EMG) activity of dorsal neck muscles from three rhesus monkeys performing a gap-saccade paradigm with different levels of reward expectancy. As reward expectancy increased, low-frequency dSC activity increased …

Sex differences in the neural control of muscle
… during force gradation by recording motor unit activity during maximal and submaximal contractions. Females had less force steadiness (FS), which may have resulted from neural compensation for a less optimal pennation angle or a tendency towards greater joint laxity. Higher motor unit …

Developmental Nicotine Exposure And Its Effects On Morphology And Electrophysiology Of Hypoglossal Motoneurons In The Neonatal Rat
… between tongue retraction force and motor unit discharge characteristics. These experiments utilized adult, anesthetized rats to record single motor units, whole muscle electromyography (EMG) activity and tongue retraction force during spontaneous breathing. We determined that during …

Neuromuscular adaptations of either endurance or high-intensity interval training
… surface electromyography (HDEMG) motor unit decomposition. This project consisted in two experiments, where healthy young men were recruited (aged between 18 to 35 years). In experiment one, the reliability of HDEMG motor unit variables (mean discharge rate, peak-to-peak amplitude, …

Experimental Study of Nappe Oscillations on Free Overfall Structures
… among which, under relatively low heads/discharges, nappe oscillations, also known as nappe vibrations. This oscillating phenomenon is characterized by oscillations of the thin flow nappe cascading downstream of the crest and results in a significant disturbing noise production that …

Flow resistance corrections for physical models using unit flowrates
… Evaluating physical models using a scaled unit flowrate provides a method by which the length-scale factor may be minimized. In this way, a scaled design discharge per unit width of channel is applied to a channel that is less wide than the prototype design. Using this approach greatly …

Improving patient outcomes through use of the teach-back method in the Post Anesthesia Care Unit
… (CNL) project was the Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) at a level I trauma center in the Bay Area. The goal was to improve the discharge education performed by the PACU nurses to improve patient safety and decrease the chance of complications or readmissions to this hospital. With no clear …
