Response Definition and 538 Threads

The dose–response relationship, or exposure–response relationship, describes the magnitude of the response of an organism, as a function of exposure (or doses) to a stimulus or stressor (usually a chemical) after a certain exposure time. Dose–response relationships can be described by dose–response curves. This is explained further in the following sections. A stimulus response function or stimulus response curve is defined more broadly as the response from any type of stimulus, not limited to chemicals.

    Renal Response to Hydrated Exercise?

    I am doing a first year physiology course and during my studies i have found that the textbook displays very little about renal response to exercise. During a lab experiment, we measured osmolarity and urine amount of a period of 5 20 minute increments after approximately 600ml of water and...

    Help with frequency response of guitar tone circuit

    The circuit of interest is the basic circuit for a Fender Stratocaster guitar. A diagram can be found at http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/schematics/S_1singlecoil_1vol_1tone.html . Basically an electric guitar works by vibrating a metal string in a magnetic field. This in turn causes a...

    Impulse Matching: Finding the Unit Impulse Response

    Impulse Matching In regards to finding the unit impulse response of a system. We assume that x(t) = \delta (t) and that the intials conditions at t=0^_ are all zero. The impulse response h(t) therefore must consists of the systems's modes for when t \geq 0^+. But why is it that h(t) = A...

    Witnessing a Crash: A Story of Imminent Danger and Heroic Response

    Well I was on my way to the state written EMT-B exam, sitting on the bus station when at around 6:35 pm EST I spot a black Honda going from the left, and a white van coming from adjacent road. My brain was punching all the numbers and estimated an imminent collision, which took place in about 3...
