CAPACITANCE MATRIX REVISITED

Capacitance Matrix Preconditioning

Membrane capacitance measurements revisited: dependence of capacitance value on measurement method in nonisopotential neurons.

During growth or degeneration neuronal surface area can change dramatically. Measurements of membrane protein concentration, as in ion channel or ionic conductance density, are often normalized by membrane capacitance, which is proportional to the surface area, to express changes independently from cell surface variations. Several electrophysiological protocols are used to measure cell capacita...

Matrix interpretations revisited ∗

The property of termination, well-known to be undecidable, is fundamental by many aspects of computer sciences and logic. Many heuristics have been proposed to provide automation for termination proofs. Almost all of them require, possibly after several transformations of the initial termination problem, to search a well-founded orderings satisfying some properties. Among the different kinds of...

Biofilms: the matrix revisited.

Microbes often construct and live within surface-associated multicellular communities known as biofilms. The precise structure, chemistry and physiology of the biofilm all vary with the nature of its resident microbes and local environment. However, an important commonality among biofilms is that their structural integrity critically depends upon an extracellular matrix produced by their consti...

Tapping the Matrix: Revisited

The software infrastructure used on Volunteered Distributed Computing is evolving to meet the diverse needs of researchers. These emerging systems are being built using Open Source tools. We describe a number of such systems in the context of this emerging field. Throughout this paper we revisit concepts presented in the April 2004 paper entitled, “Tapping the Matrix”. 1. Machines are underutil...
