Computing Average Passive Forces in Sarcomeres in Length-Ramp Simulations
Passive forces in sarcomeres are mainly related to the giant protein titin. Titin's extensible region consists of spring-like elements acting in series. In skeletal muscles these elements are the PEVK segment, two distinct immunoglobulin (Ig) domain regions (proximal and distal), and a N2A portion. While distal Ig domains are thought to form inextensible end filaments in intact sarcomeres, prox...
متن کاملNon-Muscle Sarcomeres Sense Rigidity and Generate High Forces
The interrelationship between microtubules and the actin cytoskeleton in mechanoregulation of integrin-mediated adhesions is poorly understood. Here, we show that uncoupling of microtubules from integrin adhesions by depletion or displacement of KANK family proteins connecting the adhesion protein talin with microtubule tips led to disruption of podosomes and augmentation of focal adhesions, si...
متن کاملPassive Forces in Fixturing and Grasping
Analysis and characterization of contact forces are important in fixture design and robotic grasping since they define the object stability during fixturing or grasping. This paper presents a description of passive forces arising at the normal and frictional contacts by passive physical means. The passivity nature requires application of the minimum norm principle to solve a constrained quadrat...
متن کاملComputing Average Value in Ad Hoc Networks
We consider a single-hop sensor network with n = Θ(N) stations using R independent communication channels. Communication between the stations can fail at random or be scrambled by an adversary so that it cannot be distinguished from a random noise. Assume that each station Si holds an integer value Ti. The problem that we consider is to replace the values Ti by their average (rounded to integer...
متن کاملComputing the Average Height in Trace Monoids
The height of a trace is the height of the corresponding heap of pieces in Viennot's representation, or equivalently the number of factors in its Cartier-Foata decomposition. Let h(t) and jtj stand respectively for the height and the length of a trace t. We prove that the bivariate commutative series P t x h(t) y jtj is rational, and we give a nite representation of it. We use this result to ob...
