RESULTS

Preparation of wire—Effect of single stimulus . F : .” LOG 
CHAPTER XIII 
INORGANIC RESPONSE-—MOLECULAR MOBILITY : 
ITS INFLUENCE ON RESPONSE 
Effects of molecular inertia—Prolongation of period of recovery by 
overstrain—Molecular model—Reduction of molecular sluggish- 
ness attended by quickened recovery and heightened response— 
Effect of temperature—Modification of latent period and period of 
recovery by the action of chemical reagents—Diphasic variation . 104 
CHAPTER XIV 
INORGANIC RESPONSE—FATIGUE, STAIRCASE, AND 
MODIFIED RESPONSE 
Fatigue in metals —Fatigue under continuous stimulation—Staircase 
effect—Reversed responses due to molecular modification in nerve 
and in metal, and their transformation into normal after continuous 
stimulation—Increased response after continuous stimulation oe JS

INORGANIC RESPONSE—RELATION BETWEEN STIMULUS 
AND RESPONSE—SUPERPOSITION OF STIMULI 
Relation between stimulus and response—Magnetic analogue—In- 
crease of response with increasing stimulus—Threshold of response 
—Superposition of stimuli— Hysteresis ; A é : =
