The action potential of the unmyelinated nerve is metabolically expensive. Using the energetic cost per unit length for the biophysically modeled action potential of the squid giant axon, we analyze this cost and identify one possible optimization. The energetic cost arising from an action potential is divided into three separate components: 1) the depolarization of the rising phase; 2) the hyp...

We analyse the long-time tails of a charged quantum Brownian particle in harmonic potential presence magnetic field using Quantum Langevin Equation as starting point. position-autocorrelation function, position–velocity correlation function and velocity-autocorrelation function. study these correlations for coupled to Ohmic Drude baths, via position coordinate coupling. At finite temperatures w...

the potential function of lippincott and schroeder for linear hydrogen bond has been re-examined and extended to nonlinear hydrogen bond. the parameters originally introduced to the potential function by lippincott and schroeder have been determined from the structural parameters such as 0.. .odistance 0-h bond distance, h.. .o distance and hoo angle. thevalidity of harmonic oscillator approxim...

We consider incompressible Euler flows in terms of the stream function in two dimensions and the vector potential in three dimensions. We pay special attention to the case with singular distributions of the vorticity, e.g., point vortices in two dimensions. An explicit equation governing the velocity potentials is derived in two steps. (i) Starting from the equation for the stream function [Ohk...
