What is the effector involved the patellar reflex?

In order to provoke the patellar reflex one must strike the patellar tendon with a tendon hammer (and only a tendon hammer, striking with an ordinary hammer is ill-advised). In other words, strike the region immediately below the patella.


Why do infants need reflexes?

We've evolved to react automatically to some things; for instance newborn babies are born with the reflex to 'suck' if an object is put into their mouth and 'swallow' liquid, e.g. milk, in order to survive. If that was something that had to be learnt, they wouldn't live long enough to learn it. Or if we are exposed to extreme heat, like fire, our reflex is to move away from it, or we would get burnt. The well-known 'knee-jerk' reflex, combined with other muscles, helps us to walk without needing to think about each step. Through natural selection, animals and humans with these extra survival abilities have lived to pass on their genes, wheras the ones who died of malnourishment as infants, or were burnt to death, didn't.


What are the man-made causes of earthquakes?

Human activity can cause, or at least trigger, earthquakes in an otherwise earthquake-prone region. Underground mining, such as that done in coal mining, can trigger earthquakes. The very action of extracting coal and fluid can cause stress on the earth. Instability due to excavation during construction of major engineering projects (e.g. dams) can also be a man-made trigger for earthquakes. A 1961 study by scientists suggested that earthquakes could be caused by injecting fluid waste into the earth's crust under high pressure. Extracting natural gas from the earth can trigger seismic activity. Drilling and fracking (which means using pressurised fluid to fracture rocks, thus releasing natural gas or coal seam gas) has links to earthquake activity. fluid is used to fracture rock layers in the earth's crust in order to release petroleum (oil), natural gas, coal steam gas, Source: Planetsave (http://s.tt/13Kw8) fluid is used to fracture rock layers in the earth's crust in order to release petroleum (oil), natural gas, coal steam gas, Source: Planetsave (http://s.tt/13Kw8)


Does tariffs contribute to infant industry protection?

Infant industry protection can come in the form of Tariffs, Quotas, Non-Tariff-Barriers or any inhibition of free trade in order to protect a *particular* industry (rather than the whole economy) as that particular industry or firm achieves dynamic increasing returns (costs fall with cumulative production rather than with the current rate of production- in other words, costs fall as the firm gains experience). The argument of using tariffs to protect an infant industry are only valid when 1) the protection is for a firm or industry rather than the whole economy, 2) the industry is a potential source for comparative advantage and 3) the protection (usually a tariff) is temporary and ends when the firm becomes internationally competitive (this is especially difficult due to issues with political economy)

Why need trigger in sql server 2000?

Why not trigger in SQL Server 2000? I think you need to understand what the definition of a database trigger is in this case. A database trigger is simply code that the database system will trigger when a certain event occurs. The classic example is having a multi-table order system that has the order # in one table and parts ordered linked in a orderDetails table, with the order pointing to the product description in a separate table. So a useful trigger would be that when an order gets deleted from the order table, all the matching order detail rows in the orderDetails table get deleted. Hope this helps.

What will happen if the reflex action do not work?

If the reflex action does not work, it could indicate a problem in the nervous system. This could result in difficulties with motor control and coordination, as well as a decreased ability to respond quickly to potentially dangerous stimuli. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional in order to determine the cause and appropriate treatment for the lack of reflex action.
