Energy liberation rate (E) during steady muscle shortening is a monotonic increasing or biphasic function of the shortening velocity (V). The study examines three plausible hypotheses for explaining the biphasic E-V relationship (EVR): 1) the cross-bridge (XB) turnover rate from non-force-generating (weak) to force-generating (strong) conformation decreases as V increases; 2) XB kinetics is det...

Contour trees have been used in geographic information systems (GIS) and medical imaging to display scalar data. Contours are only defined for continuous functions. For an image represented by discrete data, a continuous function is first defined as an interpolation of the data. Then the contour tree is defined on this continuous function. In this paper, we introduce a new concept termed monoto...
