Marked load-bearing ability of Mytilus smooth muscle in both active and catch states as revealed by quick increases in load.
The anterior byssal retractor muscle (ABRM) of the bivalve Mytilus edulis shows a prolonged tonic contraction, called the catch state. To investigate the catch mechanism, details of which still remain obscure, we studied the mechanical responses of ABRM fibres to quick increases in load applied during maximum active isometric force (P(0)) generation and during the catch state. The mechanical re...
متن کاملDifferential effects of sinusoidal vibrations on tension and stiffness in Mytilus smooth muscle during catch state.
Sinusoidal vibrations (10-100 Hz, 0.5-2.5%) reduced catch tension in the anterior byssal retractor muscle of Mytilus edulis, while the stiffness measured as the tension increment in response to the stretch phase of vibration did not change appreciably, indicating that the vibration-induced reduction of catch tension may not be simply explained as being due to the detachment of cross-links betwe...
متن کاملQuantifying the regional load-bearing ability of trans-tibial stumps.
This paper reports findings of experiments aiming to (1) compare the load tolerant ability over different regions of stumps of lower limb amputees, (2) study the effect of walking on the load tolerant ability, and (3) examine the distal-end weight-bearing ability supported by different interface materials. The method was to apply increasing load to the stump up to the pain level through a force...
متن کاملLoad and Antibiotic Susceptibility Pattern of Microorganisms in Muscle Foods Sold in Akure, Southwest Nigeria
Background: Muscle foods, notably red meat, poultry meat, and fish are the first choice of animal source food with adequate protein for human. The present study was undertaken to analyze the load and antibiotic susceptibility pattern of microorganisms in muscle foods sold in Akure, Southwest Nigeria. Methods: Hundred muscle food samples, including meat and fish were collected from different lo...
متن کاملa fundamental study of "histiriographic metafiction", and "literary genres", as introduced in "new historical philosophy", and tracing them in the works of julian barnes.
abstract a fundamental study of “historio-graphic metafiction” and “literary genres”, as introduced in “new historical philosophy”, and tracing them in the works of julian barnes having studied the two novels, the porcupine and arthur & george, by julian barnes, the researcher has applied linda hutcheon’s historio-graphic metafictional theories to them. the thesis is divided into five cha...
