Deriving macroscopic myocardial conductivities by homogenization of microscopic models.
We derive the values for the intracellular and extracellular conductivities needed for bidomain simulations of cardiac electrophysiology using homogenization of partial differential equations. In our model, cardiac myocytes are rectangular prisms and gap junctions appear in a distributed manner as flux boundary conditions for Laplace's equation. Using directly measurable microproperties such as...
متن کاملSimulation of Pedestrian Dynamics with Macroscopic and Microscopic Mathematical Models
Here, we collect two parts of a research project on the pedestrian flow modeling. Rapid growth in the volume of public transport and the need for its reasonable, efficient planning have made the description and modeling of transport and pedestrian behaviors as important research topics in the past twenty years. First, we present a macroscopic model for the pedestrian flow based on continuum mec...
متن کاملMacroscopic-microscopic Mass Models
We discuss recent developments in macroscopic-microscopic mass models, including the 1992 finite-range droplet model, the 1992 extended-ThomasFermi Strutinsky-integral model, and the 1994 Thomas-Fermi model, with particular emphasis on how well they extrapolate to new regions of nuclei. We also address what recent developments in macroscopic-microscopic mass models are teaching us about such ph...
متن کاملMacroscopic Limits of Microscopic Models
Many physical systems are comprised of several discrete elements, the equations of motion of each element being known. If the system has a large number of degrees of freedom, it may be possible to treat it as a continuous system. In this event, one might wish to derive the equations of motion of the continuous (macroscopic) system by taking a suitable limit of the equations governing the discre...
متن کاملMacroscopic Interpretation of Microscopic models
The method of renormalization group and its associated geometric language for describing macroscopic phenomenology is a powerful technique for studying physics problems with many degrees of freedom. The abstract problem solving strategy embodied by the method — solving a hard problem by transforming it to a sequence of similar but simpler problems — acquires new power in the context of sophisti...
