Nerve Conduction Through Dendrites via Proton Hopping

Background: In our previous studies of nerve conduction conducted by proton hopping, we have considered the axon, soma, synapse and the nodes of Ranvier. The role of proton hopping described the passage of information through each of these units of a typical nerve system. The synapse projects information from the axon to the dendrite and their associated spines. Methods: We have invoked the passage of protons via a hopping mechanism to illustrate the continuum of the impulse through the system, via the soma following the dendrites. This is proposed to be a continuum invoked by the proton hopping method. Results: With the proposal of the activity through the dendrites, via proton hopping, a complete model of the nerve function is invoked. At each step to the way, a water pathway is present and is invoked in the proposed model as the carrier of the message via proton hopping. The importance of the dendrites is evident by the presence of a vast number of spines, each possessing the possibility to carry unique messages through the nervous system. Conclusion: With this model of the role of dendrites, functioning with the presence of proton hopping, a complete model of the nerve system is presented. The validity of this model will be available for further studies and models to assess it\u27s validity

Letter from Achsah and J.S. Lemont to Frank L. Lemont, December 7, 1862

Letter from Acsah Lemont and J.S. Lemont to Frank L. Lemont, December 7, 1862. The bulk of both entries deals mostly with their new life in Lewiston and the culture there. They also discuss the state of the family and the weather, specifically the health of J.S. Lemont regarding a sore on her arm that as yet had not healed by the time they sent this correspondence.

Overcoming the Politics of Reform: The Story of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma Constitutional Convention

A pressing international challenge is developing processes of constitution-making that manage the politics of reform and produce legitimate and effective constitutions. This challenge is of special concern for numerous American Indian nations that have been embroiled in dual governments and constitutional crises over the past several decades. This article traces the recent constitutional reform process of the second largest Indian nation in the United States, the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma. During the middle of its own constitutional crisis in 1999, the Nation formed an independent constitution commission and held a nine-day constitutional convention. The inclusiveness and independence of these two institutions - combined with innovative strategies for achieving maximum citizen education and participation in the reform process - provide a model for other nations interested in pursuing constitutional reform. In addition, Convention debates over the boundaries of citizenship, patterns of political representation and methods for achieving separation of powers reflect the substantive challenges faced by Indian nations as they have diversified and assumed greater governmental responsibilities over the past several decades

Letter from Achsah Lemont to Frank L. Lemont, September 20, 1863

Letter from Achsah and Josie Lemont to their brother Frank L. Lemont, September 20, 1863. In it Achsah tells Frank of a fun excursion to the top of Mount Washington and the excitement of the day including the state of the weather and the difficulty of the trek up the mountain. Josie also included a short letter to Frank as well, stating that she felt well enough to do so. She expressed her deep desire to get an education for herself and how difficult it was for her to attend, but that she would not stop trying. Taken from the Paul W.

Letter from Achsah Lemont to Frank L. Lemont, December 21, 1862

Letter from Augusta Lemont to her brother Frank L. Lemont, December 21, 1862. In it she expresses her relief that he was not wounded or killed at Fredericksburg but laments that the war seemingly has come to no real conclusion and that all the life lost on the battlefield was a terrible waste. Turning from such grim statements she remarks on the weather and life in Lewiston especially the happy times spent with her friends marveling over some fashion presented by a friend in town.

Letter from Achsah Lemont to Frank L. Lemont, May 16, 1862

Letter from Achsah Lemont to her brother Frank L. Lemont May 16, 1862. In this letter she writes of life back in Maine and her waning enthusiasm for the war, especially because of how it has put her brother in danger. She mentions the death and funeral of someone they knew who died in the service of the Union and how distraught his family was, later commenting on the religious revival in their community and the state of the weather at the time. It is also important to note that Achsah states her brother sent her a four leaf clover from Virginia which was (and is) inside the note, thus why there is the pigmentation in the letter that is in the shape of a clover.
