Comparison of the three basic scattering functions of myoglobin in solution with those from the known structure in crystalline state

X-ray small-angle scattering of myoglobin in aqueous solutions enhances the probability that the structure of myoglobin is conserved on passing to the dissolved state. The agreement of measured and calculated results could be extended up to $\text{k = 1.2}\text{A}\text{?}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}$ which roughly corresponds to 5 Å resolution.

Operant conditioning of cortical steady potential responses in rats

This study was conducted to determine if amplitudes of rat corticol steady potential (SP) response to an auditory stimulus could be altered by operant conditioning procedures using food reinforcement. The negative SP responses to the 5-sec tone alone diminished with repeated presentation of the stimulus. When food reinforcement was given immediately following the tone, SP response amplitudes increased and stabilized after 4–5 sessions. Thereafter, the animals were required to increase or decrease the amplitudes of response in order to obtain reinforcement. Two of three rats required to increase amplitudes were successful and three of four rats required to decrease amplitudes were successful. It is concluded that changes in cortical SP responses can be operantly conditioned.

Evolution of the electron Langmuir oscillations in an inhomogeneous magnetized plasma

The conditions under which the energy of the electron Langmuir oscillations can escape from the plasma into vacuum are determined in the simplest model of a plane slab of an inhomogeneous cold magnetized plasma in a uniform magnetic field.
