Spiral wave attachment to millimeter-sized obstacles.
BACKGROUND Functional reentry in the heart takes the form of spiral waves. Drifting spiral waves can become pinned to anatomic obstacles and thus attain stability and persistence. Lidocaine is an antiarrhythmic agent commonly used to treat ventricular tachycardia clinically. We examined the ability of small obstacles to anchor spiral waves and the effect of lidocaine on their attachment. METH...
متن کاملNoise characterization in millimeter sized micromanipulation systems
Efficient and dexterous manipulation of very small (micrometer and millimeter sized) objects require the use of high precision micromanipulation systems. The accuracy of the positioning is nevertheless limited by the noise due to vibrations of the end effectors making it difficult to achieve precise micrometer and nanometer displacements to grip small objects. The purpose of this paper is to an...
متن کاملBare Objects, Ordinary Objects, and Mereological Essentialism
From five plausible premises about ordinary objects it follows that ordinary objects are either functions, fictions or processes. Assuming that the function and fiction accounts of ordinary objects are not plausible, in this paper I develop and defend a (non-Whiteheadian) process account of ordinary objects. I first offer an extended deduction that argues for mereological essentialism for masse...
متن کاملElasticity of nanometer-sized objects
We initiate the development of a theory of the elasticity of nanoscale objects based upon new physical concepts which remain properly defined on the nanoscale. This theory provides a powerful way of understanding nanoscale elasticity in terms of local group contributions and gives insight into the breakdown of standard continuum relations. We also give two applications. In the first, we show ho...
متن کاملThe Discovery of Halley-sized Kuiper Belt Objects Using HST
We report the statistical detection (at the > 99% confidence level) of a population of 28th magnitude objects exhibiting proper motions of ≈1 arcsecond per hour at quadrature in deep HST/WFPC2 images. The drift directions imply a preponderance of objects on prograde orbits concentrated near the ecliptic plane. We interpret this as the detection of objects which reside in the Kuiper belt near or...
