On the Propagation of Calcium Waves in an Inhomogeneous Medium
Although the exact details are disputed, it is well established that propagating waves of increased intracellular free Ca2+ concentration arise from a positive feedback or autocatalytic mechanism whereby Ca2+ stimulates its own release. Most previous modeling of the propagation of Ca2+ waves has assumed that the sites of autocatalytic Ca2+ release, the activation sites, are homogeneously distri...
متن کاملReflected Waves in an Inhomogeneous Excitable Medium
Propagation can be encumbered in an excitable cable in which intrinsic properties change abruptly. A sudden increase in diameter or a decrease in conductivity or excitability can lead to propagation block or delay in propagation with or without reflection. We study such transient phenomena from a geometric point of view. A simple two-cell caricature, with one cell enlarged to mimic diameter inc...
متن کاملOscillatory Waves in an Inhomogeneous Excitable Medium
An excitable medium is a nonlinear dissipative dynamical system able to sustain undamped wave propagation. Examples of excitable media include cardiac tissue and neural media. This thesis investigates a class of novel dynamical phenomena in excitable media, known collectively as oscillatory waves. The examples of oscillatory waves considered here are Tango waves, breathers and pulse generators....
متن کاملLocalized standing waves in inhomogeneous Schrödinger equations
A nonlinear Schrödinger equation arising from light propagation down an inhomogeneous medium is considered. The inhomogeneity is reflected through a non-uniform coefficient of the non-linear term in the equation. In particular, a combination of self-focusing and self-defocusing nonlinearity, with the self-defocusing region localized in a finite interval, is investigated. Using numerical computa...
