Electrical Waves in a One-Dimensional Model of Cardiac Tissue
The electrical dynamics in the heart is modeled by a two-component PDE. Using geometric singular perturbation theory, it is shown that a traveling pulse solution, which corresponds to a single heartbeat, exists. One key aspect of the proof involves tracking the solution near a point on the slow manifold that is not normally hyperbolic. This is achieved by desingularizing the vector field using ...
متن کاملHarmonic Morphisms with One-dimensional Fibres
We study harmonic morphisms by placing them into the context of conformal foli-ations. Most of the results we obtain hold for bres of dimension one and codomains of dimension not equal to two. We consider foliations which produce harmonic mor-phisms on both compact and noncompact Riemannian manifolds. By using integral formulae, we prove an extension to one-dimensional foliations which produce ...
متن کاملTissue mechanics.
The human body, from an engineering point of view, is a load-transmitting mechanism. It is subjected to self-originated and/or environmentally-imposed actions (Abrahams 1965, Paul 1967). These in turn manifest themselves in actions on tissue, and the tissue’s capability to withstand and transmit the corresponding loads through deforming appropriately can be characterized in health and disease. ...
متن کاملLung tissue mechanics as an emergent phenomenon.
The mechanical properties of lung parenchymal tissue are both elastic and dissipative, as well as being highly nonlinear. These properties cannot be fully understood, however, in terms of the individual constituents of the tissue. Rather, the mechanical behavior of lung tissue emerges as a macroscopic phenomenon from the interactions of its microscopic components in a way that is neither intuit...
متن کاملThree - Dimensional Impedance Map Analysis of Biological Tissue To
Three-dimensional impedance maps (3DZMs) are computational models of acoustic impedance of tissue constructed from a series of adjacent histology images. The power spectrum of a 3DZM can be analyzed to estimate model-based quantitative ultrasound parameters such as effective scatterer diameter (ESD) and effective acoustic concentration (EAC). The goal in this approach is to determine a link bet...
