Psychophysically Derived Work Frequencies Associated With Roof Shingling Operations Involving Change In Grade, Sang Dae Choi Dec 2003

Psychophysically Derived Work Frequencies Associated With Roof Shingling Operations Involving Change In Grade, Sang Dae Choi

Dissertations

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of roof slope on psychophysical roof shingling frequency. Twelve healthy males (21-30 years old) were used as participants. Experiment one was designed to determine Maximum Acceptable Roof Shingling Frequency (MARSF) for a workday period using psychophysical methodology. Results indicate that 198 shingles/hr is an acceptable roof shingling frequency for a workday. Furthermore, 2 hours is an acceptable testing period (equivalent to the workday). Postural sway and physiological variables support these findings. Experiment two was designed to study the effect of slope (18°, 26°, and 34°) on MARSF. Experiment two indicates …

Enhanced Retention In The Passive-Avoidance Task By 5-Ht1a Receptor Blockade Is Not Associated With Increased Activity Of The Central Nucleus Of The Amygdala, Allen M. Schneider, Emily Wilkins , '01, Aaron Alexander Firestone , '01, E. Carr Everbach, J. C. Naylor, Peter E. Simson , '78 Sep 2003

Enhanced Retention In The Passive-Avoidance Task By 5-Ht1a Receptor Blockade Is Not Associated With Increased Activity Of The Central Nucleus Of The Amygdala, Allen M. Schneider, Emily Wilkins , '01, Aaron Alexander Firestone , '01, E. Carr Everbach, J. C. Naylor, Peter E. Simson , '78

Psychology Faculty Works

The effect of blockade of S-HT1A receptors was investigated on (1) retention in a mildly aversive passive-avoidance task, and (2) spontaneous single-unit activity of central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA) neurons, a brain site implicated in modulation of retention. Systemic administration of the selective S-HT1A antagonist NAN-190 immediately after training markedly-and dose-dependently-facilitated retention in the passive-avoidance task; enhanced retention was time-dependent and was not attributable to variations in wattages of shock received by animals. Systemic administration of NAN-190 had mixed effects on spontaneous single-unit activity of CeA neurons recorded extracellularly in vivo; microiontophoretic application of S-HT, in contrast, consistently and …
