Skeletal muscle fatigue--regulation of excitation-contraction coupling to avoid metabolic catastrophe.

ATP provides the energy in our muscles to generate force, through its use by myosin ATPases, and helps to terminate contraction by pumping Ca(2+) back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum, achieved by Ca(2+) ATPase. The capacity to use ATP through these mechanisms is sufficiently high enough so that muscles could quickly deplete ATP. However, this potentially catastrophic depletion is avoided. It ha...

M/M/1 Feedback Queue Subject to Catastrophe and Repairment

‎In this paper‎, ‎an M/M/1 queue with instantaneous Bernoulli feedback is studied in the event of server failure‎, ‎the catastrophe occurs and after repair‎, ‎it starts to work again‎. ‎The transient response for the probability function of the system size is presented‎. ‎The steady state analysis of system size probabilities and some performance measures of system are provided‎. ‎Then the resu...

Cooperating to the group’s utility

In this paper, we propose an definition of cooperation to shared plans that takes into account the benefit of the whole group, where the group’s benefit is computed by considering also the consequences of an agent’s choice in terms of the actions that the other members of the group will do. In addition, the members of a group consider whether to adopt the goals of their partners: an agent shoul...
