The sarcomere length non-uniformity theory (SLNT) is a widely accepted explanation for residual force enhancement (RFE). RFE is the increase in steady-state isometric force following active muscle stretching. The SLNT predicts that active stretching of a muscle causes sarcomere lengths (SL) to become non-uniform, with some sarcomeres stretched beyond actin-myosin filament overlap (popping), cau...

Recent results on the theory of the Hamilton{Jacobi equation and the regularity of their solutions, in spite of the non regularity of the data, are reviewed, and discussed with attention to the cancellation mechanisms that make regularity possible. The Hamilton Jacobi equation for an invariant torus in a ` dimensional hamiltonian system close to an integrable system takes one of the forms: (! 0...

For a closed subset K of a compact metric space A possessing an α-regular measure μ with μ(K) > 0, we prove that whenever s > α, any sequence of weighted minimal Riesz s-energy configurations ωN = {x i,N} N i=1 on K (for ‘nice’ weights) is quasi-uniform in the sense that the ratios of its mesh norm to separation distance remain bounded as N grows large. Furthermore, if K is an α-rectifiable com...

The uniformity requirements of direct-drive targets are <tringent. The requirements on both sphericity and wall thickness uniformity are of the order of less than 1%. In the past, dualbeam interference microscopy has been used at LLE to characterize the wall thickness and uniformity of transparent targets.' With this technique, an interference pattern is formed between one beam that passes thro...

LLE Review, Volume 69 1 The ultimate goal of the LLE uniformity program is to reduce the rms laser-irradiation nonuniformity to the 1%–2% level, which is required for cryogenic implosion experiments on OMEGA. The combination of distributed phase plates (DPP’s), two-dimensional (2-D) smoothing by spectral dispersion (SSD), polarization wedges, and beam overlap should be sufficient to reach this ...

The Complete fluidic sprinkler was originally created by China. Irrigation uniformity in no-wind conditions was studied in this paper. Radial water distribution for complete fluidic sprinkler type 10 was got by experiment. MATLAB was used to establish computation program to change the radial data into net data. Three-dimensional water distribution figures for single sprinkler and combined sprin...
