1. To identify the forebrain and brain stem structures that are active during the perception of acute heat pain in humans, we performed H2 15O positron emission tomographic (PET) analyses of cerebral blood flow (CBF) on nine normal volunteers while they received repetitive noxious (50 degrees C) and innocuous (40 degrees C) 5 s heat pulses to the forearm (average resting temperature of 31.8 degrees C). Each subject rated the subjective intensity of each stimulation series according to a magnitude estimation procedure in which 0 = no heat sensation, 7 = barely painful, and 10 = barely tolerable. 2. Three scans were performed at each temperature. Mean CBF images were created for each experimental condition and oriented onto standardized stereotaxic coordinates. Subtraction images were created between conditions for each subject and averaged across subjects. Volumes of interest (VOI) were chosen, based on a priori hypotheses and the results of previously published PET studies. In addition, a separate statistical summation analysis of individual voxels was performed. Statistical thresholds were established with corrections for multiple comparisons. 3. Significant CBF increases to 50 degrees C stimuli were found in the contralateral thalamus, cingulate cortex, S2 and S1 cortex, and insula. The ipsilateral S2 cortex and thalamus, and the medial dorsal midbrain and cerebellar vermis also showed significant CBF increases. All subjects rated the 50 degrees C stimuli as painful (average subjective rating = 8.9 +/- 0.9 SD) and the 40 degrees C stimuli as warm, but not painful (average subjective rating = 2.1 +/- 1.0).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

14 blind-folded subjects were requested to give numerical judgments of the perceived intensities of ¼, ½, 1, 2, 4, 8, lily-of-the-valley bunches, according to a naturalistic approach. The psychophysical function conforms to a power law. The exponent, smaller than 1, is in the same range as those commonly found for smell.

The design and metrological characteristics of the acoustic flowmeter of a flow of a gaseous or liquid substance are considered. It is shown that the device has a simple design, is characterized by high accuracy (relative error of measuring the volume flow rate is less than 1%) and high speed (the time to determine the flow rate is not more than a few milliseconds).
