Biological inhibitors for typing rates

[M00T]

Could typing rates be inhibited by magnoliophyta (the leguminosae family in particular) induced irritation to the olfactory senses?

The neural systems for those chemical senses can distinguish thousands of different odors and flavors. Identification begins at membrane receptors on sensory cells, where odorant or taste molecules fit into molecular slots or pockets with the right "lock and key" fit. This latching together of ligand and membrane receptor leads to the production of an electrical signal, which speeds along a pathway formed by nerve cells (neurons) and their extensions called axons. In this way, information reaches brain areas that perceive and interpret the stimulus.

Usually when something offends one's olfactory senses, it tends to absorb it and then forget about it, allowing the person to function despite the existence of the offending odor. However, I find that Angiospermae tend to be a special case particularly in their processed form. Their odor has a more lasting effect on the olfactory senses leading to a sensation of the scent "coming and going". The irritation induced by them follows quite naturally from this effect so I won't spend any time discussing that. However, irriation to the olfactory senses in general is a topic worthy of examination. Can this affect typing rates? The answer is most definitely yes. The olfactory senses is one of the strongest links to memory and as we are all aware, reminiscing tends to lead to decreased productivity. Reduced productivity would without a doubt translate to being a biological inhibitor of typing rates.

When the fecel particals enter the epithelium, its molecules enter the cilia in the nose and are transported via the olfactory system to the limbic system of the brain. The brain then responds to particular aromas that affect emotional and physical balance.

Reel, you make an interesting point regarding Angiospermae in general. Though I find your discussion of olfactory senses relating to memory to be rather pedantic. Anyone who has reviewed the latest journal articles regarding Alzheimer's research is well aware of the relationship between the olfactory senses and memory in context of the recent breakthroughs that researches have experienced with their clinical trials. However, I question the premise of memory leading to reduced productivity thus leading to lowered typing rates. I believe you are making a fallacious argument and if you review your logic, it would become clear to you where the error lies. Consider in particular the recent article by Harvey Levin at BCM: Effects of Methylphenidate on Working Memory and Cerebral Glucose Metabolism Persons with Severe Traumatic Brain Injury. I think that if you review this material you will gain a better understanding of the topic at hand.

I don't know anything about biology, but I can type 100+ wpm. I used to be the Desktop Publishing manager at Kinko's, and my partner used to pass gas all the time. Whenever this happened, I could easily sustain a burst of 120-130 for a couple of minutes so I could finish what I was doing and get the hell out of there. Hope that helps.

Hahaha.

The irritation induced by the release of vapors of the leguminosae family of magnoliophytand can be - generally - satisfactorily mitigated by the presence of rapidly-oxidizing phosphorus. A simple mixture of antimony sulphide and potassium chloride, activated by abrasion, was originally used to eradicate any foreign airborne particles. John Walker discovered this incredible method in 1827. This solution was quite timely, as he was likely tired of poor lab performance due to the biological inhibitors.
