Sensing Stretch Is Fundamental
Stretch induces changes in cardiomyocyte biology that are implicated in heart failure, but the mechanism by which stretch is sensed and signals are transduced is unknown. New understanding of the Z disc elements of contractile units are beginning to elucidate the mechanism of stretch sensing and its relation to cardiac adaptation and disease.
متن کاملSpectrum Sensing: Fundamental Limits
Cognitive radio systems need to be able to robustly sense spectrum holes if they want to use spectrum opportunistically. However, this problem is more subtle than it first appears. It turns out that real-world uncertainties make it impossible to guarantee both robustness and high-sensitivity to a spectrum sensor. A traditional time-domain perspective on this is relatively straightforward, but t...
متن کاملFundamental ecology is fundamental.
The primary reasons for conducting fundamental research are satisfying curiosity, acquiring knowledge, and achieving understanding. Here we develop why we believe it is essential to promote basic ecological research, despite increased impetus for ecologists to conduct and present their research in the light of potential applications. This includes the understanding of our environment, for intel...
متن کاملFundamental Limits to Cellular Sensing
In recent years experiments have demonstrated that living cells can measure low chemical concentrations with high precision, and much progress has been made in understanding what sets the fundamental limit to the precision of chemical sensing. Chemical concentration measurements start with the binding of ligand molecules to receptor proteins, which is an inherently noisy process, especially at ...
متن کاملHow Does a Fundamental String Stretch its Horizon?
It has recently been shown that if we take into account a class of higher derivative corrections to the effective action of heterotic string theory, the entropy of the black hole solution representing elementary string states correctly reproduces the statistical entropy computed from the degeneracy of elementary string states. So far the form of the solution has been analyzed at distance scales...
