PURPOSE It has been tacitly assumed that overall extraocular muscle (EOM) volume is conserved during contraction and relaxation, yet this assumption has been untested up to now. We used high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to determine if total EOM volume changes during relaxation and contraction. METHODS Surface coil MRI in quasi-coronal planes was obtained in target-controlled, ...

Let T be a CQ(N) contraction on a separable Hubert space and let / — S(qPi) ffi S(<p¿) © • • ■ ®5(qpt) be its Jordan model, where m„ qpj,.. ., <pk are inner functions satisfying <ty|m,_i for j = 2, 3,..., k, and S(<fj) denotes the compression of the shift on H2 Q <PjH2,j 1, 2,..., k. In this note we show that T is reflexive if and only if S^/ipi) is. In this note we only consider bounded linear...

The main aim of this paper is to solve an inverse source problem for a general nonlinear hyperbolic equation. Combining the quasi-reversibility method and suitable Carleman weight function, we define map which fixed point solution problem. To find point, recursive sequence with arbitrary initial term by same manner as in classical proof contraction principle. Applying estimate, show that above ...

Although evidence of important contributions by Cl- channels to agonist-induced currents have been reported in vascular smooth muscle cells, the functional roles played by Cl- channels in the smooth muscle contraction and in setting the membrane potential remain essentially obscure. All of the admittedly few papers published have focused on the physiological roles of Cl- channels in the contrac...

Here we develop a minimal model of the cell actomyosin cortex by forming a quasi-2D cross-linked filamentous actin (F-actin) network adhered to a model cell membrane and contracted by myosin thick filaments. Myosin motors generate both compressive and tensile stresses on F-actin and consequently induce large bending fluctuations, which reduces their effective persistence length to <1 μm. Over a...

Electromyogram (EMG)-torque modeling is of value to many different application areas, including ergonomics, clinical biomechanics and prosthesis control. One important aspect of EMG-torque modeling is the ability to account for the joint angle influence. This manuscript describes an experimental study which relates the biceps/triceps surface EMG of 12 subjects to elbow torque at seven joint ang...

metabolic alkalosis is characterized by high hco3- as it is seen in chronic respiratory acidosis, but ph differentiates the two disorders. there is no characteristic symptom or sign. orthostatic hypotension may be encountered. weakness and hyporeflexia occur if serum k+ is markerdly low. tetany and neuromuscular irritability occur rarely. we report the results of retrospective data analysis of ...

the notions of quasi-prime submodules and developed  zariski topology was introduced by the present authors in cite{ah10}. in this paper we use these notions to define a scheme. for an $r$-module $m$, let $x:={qin qspec(m) mid (q:_r m)inspec(r)}$. it is proved that $(x, mathcal{o}_x)$ is a locally ringed space. we study the morphism of locally ringed spaces induced by $r$-homomorphism $mrightar...
