The early chemical changes in continuously contracting muscle have been definitely shown to involve anaerobic reactions. The formation of lactic acid from glycogen, the hydrolysis of phosphocreatine, the hydrolysis of adenosinetriphosphate, and the formation of hexosemonophosphate liberate energy which may be used for muscular contraction. Most of the theories of muscular contraction postulate ...

We introduce a flow of maps from a compact surface of arbitrary genus to an arbitrary Riemannian manifold which has elements in common with both the harmonic map flow and the mean curvature flow, but is more effective at finding minimal surfaces. In the genus 0 case, our flow is just the harmonic map flow, and it tries to find branched minimal 2-spheres as in Sacks-Uhlenbeck [13] and Struwe [16...
