Previously, a relationship has been identified between the pleasantness perception of soft skin stroking and the firing rate of unmyelinated C-low- threshold mechanoreceptive afferents (C-LTMRs) known as C-tactile (CT) afferents in humans. This relationship is not seen for myelinated Aβ-LTMRs. The work in this thesis continued the basic characterization of CT response properties to pleasant touch by adding a thermal component to the stimulus. Using the electrophysiological technique of microneurography in combination with psychophysical testing we found a significant relationship between the hedonic evaluation of slow skin stroking stimuli and CT responses only for stimuli of skin-like temperature (i.e. not cooler or warmer temperatures), (Paper I).
  • Torshavn, Faroe Islands

    Torshavn, Faroe Islands

    Day 24 Aug. 17 – Torshavn, Faroe Islands – VAT Refund – Medical Evacuation Cost The day started with a calm sea, a light breeze, temperature of 55˚F and intermittent sun through broken clouds. The Maasdam was cruising through a series of small islands that are part of the Faroe Island chain. Closer to the harbor were these wind turbines, on the right, which seem to be located in most of the port cities we visit. We got these photos of the city of Torshavn as the Maasdam was being docked. From this distance the housing development up on the hill looked like a typical suburban subdivision scene in the US. The housing down closer to the port looked more like old European style houses with winding streets as shown below About 7:30am the Maasdam was docked at the Cruise Pier in the harbor at Torshavn. The map on the right shows where Torshavn is located in the Faroe Islands. Torshavn is the capital city of the Faroe Islands, Denmark, and is located on the southeastern end of Strymoy Island. In the early 9 th century, the first parliament, called the Althing, was set up. This government was dissolved when the Faroe Islands were incorporated into Norway in 1035, and then reformed in 1380 when Norway was absorbed into Denmark. The town of Torshavn has served as the central place for economic activity, such as fishing, transport and trade, in the Faroe Islands over the years. Touring Torshavn: By 9am we were ready to leave the ship and take a walking tour around Torshavn.

Swedish Generals and ° Colonels in Gray 1861-1865 '·\ Bertil Haggman* and Lars Gjertveu+ Preface At the outbreak of the American Civil War, the U.S. census of 1860 reported 750 Swedes living in what would be the Confederate States of America. Perhaps not more than fifty joined the Confederate army and navy. The full story of all these Swedes in gray remains to be written. This modest booklet is an attempt to introduce higher officers of Swedish origin who were in the Confederate army. Of the two generals, one (Brigadier General Charles G. Dahlgren)· was commissioned by the Governor of Mississippi; the other (Brigadier General Roger W. Hanson), by a Richmond commission . It is the hope of the authors that this little booklet will encourage further research, both in Scandinavia and the United States, into the military careers of these officers and contribute to the celebration this year [1996] in Sweden and the United States of the start of Swedish mass immigration to America in 1846.
