| Citation | Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge. Lecturer on Physiology. Has made important contributions to physiological science, especially in relation to the processes of excitation. Author of the following papers, published in the Journal of Physiology: - 'Influence of Tension on the Contraction of Muscle at High Temperatures' (1904); 'The Gradation of Activity in Muscle Fibre' (1905); 'The Conducted Disturbance in Muscle' (1906); 'Analysis of Complex Excitable Tissues by their Response to Electric Currents of Short Duration' (1907); 'The Excitable Substances of Amphibian Muscle' (1907); 'The Rate of Variation of the Exciting Current as a Factor of Electrical Excitation' (1907); 'Temperature and Excitability' (in conjunction with G R Mines, 1907); 'The Temperature Coefficient of Conduction in Nerve' (1908); 'The Rate of Development of the Excitatory Process in Muscle and Nerve' (1908); 'The All or None' Contraction of Amphibian skeletal Muscle Fibre' (1909); 'The Relation between the Electric Disturbance in Muscle and the Propagation of the Excited State' (1909); 'The Refractory Period of Muscle and Nerve' (1909); 'Quantitative Researches on the Summation of Inadequate Stimuli, with Observations on the Time Factor in Electric Excitation' (1910); 'An Analysis of the Changes and Differences in the Excitatory Process of Nerves and Muscles based on the Physical Theory of Excitation' (1910); 'The Recovery of Muscle and Nerve after the Passage of a Propagated Disturbance' (1910); 'The Relation of the Refractory Period to the Propagated Disturbance in Nerve' (in conjunction with J C Bramwell, 1911); 'The Transference of the Progated Disturbance from Nerve to Muscle, and on Wedensky's Inhibition' (1911). Also author of 'A Bathymetrical Survey of the Lakes of New Zealand' (Geog Journ, 1904), and other papers. Much of the work was only made possible by the highly ingenious improvements designed by the author in the apparatus used. |
