My username is my number from my fraternity. Lambda chi alpha is the fraternity and kappa gamma is the chapter and I am the 698th member of that chapter (actually I am the 697th member because they did not give anyone the 666 number). Which gives you kappagamma698

My user name is my married name. I have a thing for names, that is even in addresses etc I am very keen on 'well sounding' names.

Have you ever met some one new and asked there name, and it was a really funny name. It is difficult to stop yourself from laughing (although it is not nice to laugh about someone's name)

I am very proud of my new name.

And this lecture really stuck with me:

Ivan Petrovich Pavlov was a Russion physiologist and experimental psychologist. He was professor at the military medical academy and director of the physiology department at the Institute for Experimental Medicine, St. Petersburg, from 1890. Pavlov was a skillful ambidextrous surgeon; using dogs as experimental animals, he established fistulas from various parts of the digestive tract by which he obtained secretions of the salivary glands, pancreas, and liver without disturbing the nerve and blood supply. For his work on the physiology of the digestive glands he received the 1904 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Using the same technique to create an artificial exterior pouch of the stomach, he experimented on nervous stimulation of gastric secretions and thus discovered the conditioned reflex, which has had widespread influence in neurology and psychology. He also demonstrated that specific areas in the cerebral cortex are concerned with specific reflexes and based on these findings a mechanistic theory of human behavior that found political favor; in 1935 the government built a laboratory for him. His chief work was Conditioned Reflexes (1926, tr. 1927). Basically he used dogs to study association - ring a bell - open the dog food - dog salivates -- eventually the dog responds to the ringing bell and begins to salivate - hence, the term Pavlovian response.

Aren't you glad you asked

Hi guys,

Pavlov:
I prefer the Rowan and Martin explanation of Pavlovs experiment...

place a male dog and a female dog in a box, separated by a sliding partition. Ring the bell and remove the partition. It's amazing how quickly the male dog associates the ringing bell with seeing the female.

It's even more amazing how quickly the female dog learns to ring the bell...

kappagamma:
obviously we've all seen the films about college life in the US and have a basic understanding of the system, but I didn't know that you have 'chapters', etc. How does this work please?

I assumed it was just the name of the building that you all slept in...

As for user names, I think mine should be pretty obvious :-)

Regards
Peter
