Muscle is a meta-material operating at a critical point
نویسنده
چکیده
Passive mechanical response of skeletal muscles at fast time scales is domineered by long range interactions inducing cooperative behavior without breaking the detailed balance. This leads to such unusual ’material properties’ as negative equilibrium stiffness and drastically different behavior in force and displacement controlled loading conditions. Fitting experimental data strongly suggests that muscles are finely tuned to perform close to a critical point.

Muscle as a metamaterial operating near a critical point.
The passive mechanical response of skeletal muscles at fast time scales is dominated by long range interactions inducing cooperative behavior without breaking the detailed balance. This leads to such unusual "material properties" as negative equilibrium stiffness and different behavior in force and displacement controlled loading conditions. Our fitting of experimental data suggests that "muscl...
متن کاملIntelligent Tuned Harmony Search for Solving Economic Dispatch Problem with Valve-point Effects and Prohibited Operating Zones
Economic dispatch with valve point effect and Prohibited Operating Zones (POZs) is a non-convex and discontinuous optimization problem. Harmony Search (HS) is one of the recently presented meta-heuristic algorithms for solving optimization problems, which has different variants. The performances of these variants are severely affected by selection of different parameters of the algorithm. Intel...
متن کاملEffects of ionic parameters on behavior of a skeletal muscle fiber model
All living cells have a membrane which separates inside the cell from it's outside. There is a potential difference between inside and outside of the cell. This potential difference will change during an action potential. It is quite common to peruse action potentials of skeletal muscle fibers with the Hodgkin-Huxley model. Since Hodgkin and Huxley summarized some controlling currents like inwa...
متن کاملEffect of Progressive Muscle Relaxation on the outcomes of Multiple Sclerosis disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory disease, makes damage in central nervous system. Evidence showed Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) technique is one of the non-pharmacological methods used to treat MS. The purpose of the study was to determining the effect of PMR on the MS's outcomes in published papers in the field. Method: This systematic and meta-analysis study we...
متن کاملMonodromy problem for the degenerate critical points
For the polynomial planar vector fields with a hyperbolic or nilpotent critical point at the origin, the monodromy problem has been solved, but for the strongly degenerate critical points this problem is still open. When the critical point is monodromic, the stability problem or the center- focus problem is an open problem too. In this paper we will consider the polynomial planar vector fields ...
