Physiological Theories: Cannon-Bard Theory of Emotion
0 Views •
2025
The Cannon-Bard theory of emotion, proposed by Walter Cannon and Philip Bard, challenges the notion that emotions are solely the result of physiological responses. Instead, this theory suggests that emotional experiences and physiological arousal occur simultaneously but operate through independent mechanisms. This dual response is initiated by the brain, specifically by the thalamus, which plays a critical role in processing sensory information. Upon perceiving a stimulus, such as a dangerous...

Source: Michael G. Benton and Kerry M. Dooley, Department of Chemical Engineering, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, LA Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow, and it is a useful parameter in the design of efficient product processing and quality control in a wide range of industries. A variety of viscometers are used to obtain the most accurate readings of experimental materials. The standard method of measuring viscosity is through a glass tube viscometer, which...

2025
This video demonstrates the method to assess the impact of shear stress on platelets. Antibody treatment induces dissociation and conformational changes in mechanoreceptor complexes, activating the platelets and expressing markers on the surface. These markers are observed via immunostaining and flow cytometry.

Two experimental devices for examining liquid jet impingement on a high-speed moving surface are described: an air cannon device and a spinning disk device. The apparatuses are used to determine optimal approaches to the application of liquid friction modifier (LFM) onto rail tracks for top-of-rail friction control.
FAQs
Temperature control is essential because a liquid’s viscosity changes as temperature changes. If measurements are taken at different temperatures, differences in efflux time may reflect thermal conditions rather than the material itself. Maintaining the specified temperature makes results more comparable and supports reliable engineering decisions about formulation, process monitoring, and liquid performance.
The calibrated capillary provides a consistent flow path for the liquid under gravity. The instrument uses the time required for the sample to pass through that path as the measurement basis for kinematic viscosity. Calibration allows efflux times obtained under the specified conditions to support reproducible comparisons among transparent, Newtonian liquid samples.
The method is intended for transparent, Newtonian liquids, so sample behavior and appearance matter before testing begins. Clean samples and maintained testing conditions help prevent unreliable or poorly reproducible results. These requirements are especially important when comparing materials, because contamination or unsuitable flow behavior can make measured differences difficult to interpret as genuine viscosity differences.
A basic measurement requires placing a suitable liquid in the glass instrument, maintaining the specified temperature, allowing the sample to flow through the calibrated capillary under gravity, and measuring the resulting efflux time. The time is then used to determine kinematic viscosity. Clean handling and consistent conditions support repeatable results across measurements.
Engineers can use this method when they need to compare the viscosity of transparent, Newtonian liquids during formulation, production monitoring, or material evaluation. Because the measurement relies on a calibrated flow path and controlled temperature, it can reveal whether samples show consistent flow behavior. This supports routine comparisons among batches or candidate materials.
The instrument can support evaluation of lubricants, fuels, solvents, polymers, and other liquid materials when they meet the method’s suitability conditions. These applications make viscosity data useful for comparing formulations and assessing liquid performance. The same measurement principle provides a common basis for engineering characterization across several material categories.
