Im looking for refs concerning the theory of stabilisation of sinusoidal oscillators using non linear semiconductor components. Any offers?-- 178.111.96.35 ( talk) 01:15, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
I brought a JTAG programming cable but the the key-way pin of the header isn't properly "blocked out". The end in question is a 1.27mm pitch female header. What's the name for the part used to "block out" certain female header pins? Alternatively a link to Digikey for the right part would help too. Johnson&Johnson&Son ( talk) 06:31, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
Greetings, does someone know what File:Salt Lake.JPG is a photo of? Jo-Jo Eumerus ( talk, contributions) 15:15, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
Am I right in my interpretation of this article that cod liver oil capsules which are over a year out-of-date have probably oxidised and become useless?
I've heard that zillions of neutrinos go through our bodies every second. I don't know if a neutrino can pass through a neutron, I would like to know. Anyway, what is the average number of collisions and/or passages thru per second? How many per 15 minutes? (I'm wondering if the were actually around 1 per hour, chance could distort the measurement of neutron half-life, provided the neutrino could somehow initiate neutron decay.

What is the relation between axon and its etymology? according to what I read, the meaning of "axon" is axis in Greek. My question is what is the relation between axis to the part of the neuron which is called axon. 93.126.95.68 ( talk) 22:54, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
The axon was definitely discovered by Camillo Golgi, probably in the late 1870s or early 1880s, but I can find no evidence he ever called it an axon. Merriam Webster's dictionary says the word "axon" was first used to describe a part of a neuron sometime in the 1890s, which could plausibly make the name an invention of Santiago Ramon y Cajal, though I have been unable to find the first publication to use the word. I'm able to find a publication titled "Neuron" in 1896 by one Aloysius Kelly that defines an axon as the "axis-cylinder", and just a year later, everyone seems to be throwing around the word "axon" as if you are expected to know what it means.

I always knew about the sympathetic and para sympathetic systems, and today I was told about the meta-sympathetic system, but I didn't understand well the man who told me about it and I didn't find enough or reliable information about this system, and if it's accepted in the scientific world or it's arguable. 93.126.95.68 ( talk) 23:29, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
Some presentations [7] and articles [8] seem to equate the metasympathetic and enteric nervous system, though according to [9] the enteric nervous system is just the enteric portion of the metasympathetic nervous system. One reference from 1953 [10] mentions the term but it is obscure journal/no abstract. The term stayed in Italy, without intervening publication, to 1974, after which it packed up and moved to Russia [11] in a journal that I think Nozdrachev's group also used. My guess is that this group finds it a more meaningful way to define a third autonomous nervous system than the enteric nervous system, but everyone else just wants to use a term other people understand.

"OH, HOLLOW! HOLLOW! HOLLOW!" What time the poet hath hymned The writhing maid, lithe-limbed, Quivering on amaranthine asphodel, How can he paint her woes, Knowing, as well he knows, That all can be set right with calomel? When from the poet's plinth The amorous colocynth Yearns for the aloe, faint with rapturous thrills, How can he hymn their throes Knowing, as well he knows, That they are only uncompounded pills? Is it, and can it be, Nature hath this decree, Nothing poetic in the world shall dwell? Or that in all her works Something poetic lurks, Even in colocynth and calomel? I cannot tell.
