Cardiac modeling entails the epistemic uncertainty of input parameters, such as bundles and chambers geometry, electrical conductivities cell thus calling for an quantification (UQ) analysis. Since cardiac activation subsequent muscular contraction is provided by a complex electrophysiology system made interconnected conductive media, we focus here on fast conductivity structures atria (interno...

• Networks have been found through simulated annealing with mean internodal distances lower than any previously reported for a given number of nodes $N$ with a maximum of $p$ outgoing links per node. These networks form the closest known approximations to Moore networks. However, the improvements in mean internodal distance obtained are relatively small (a few percent) and this improvement decr...

Calcification by charophytes improves the quality of water, although most studies on calcification have only examined ecorticate species. We investigated the formation and relationship of alkalines and acids with regard to calcification on internodal cells in Chara corallina, an ecorticate species, and Chara globularis, a corticate species. We observed that alkaline and acidic areas with distin...

The influences of axon diameter, myelin thickness, and internodal length on the velocity of conduction of peripheral nerve action potentials are unclear. Previous studies have demonstrated a strong dependence of conduction velocity on internodal length. However, a theoretical analysis has suggested that this relationship may be lost above a nodal separation of ∼0.6 mm. Here we measured nerve co...

Electrical resistance measurements, made with intracellular microelectrodes on a system consisting of two giant internodal cells of Nitella translucent joined by a node, show that the specific resistance of the node is 50 times smaller than the specific resistance of the internodal cell plasmalemma. The node is a complex structure of small cells which separate the internodal cells by a single l...

We used postembedding electron microscopic immunocytochemistry with colloidal gold to determine the ultrastructural distribution of Na+,K(+)-ATPase in the sciatic and optic nerves of the rat. Using a polyclonal antiserum raised against the denatured catalytic subunit of brain Na+,K(+)-ATPase, we found immunoreactivity along the internodal axolemma of myelinated fibers in both nerves. This antis...

Schematic diagram of an alternate possible mechanism in the Lown-Ganong-Levine syndrome. The impulse from the sinoatrial node (SAN) arrives either via the posterior internodal tract (PIT) or the normal tract to the atrioventricular node (AVN) at a His-Purkinje junction (LAMBDA) distal to the recording site of the His electrode. Retrograde depolarization of the proximal, and antegrade depolariza...

Microspectrophotometric analysis of the DNA content of nuclei in various parts of Chara zeylanica Willd. revealed that the amount of DNA in the nucleus of an internodal cell equals twice the amount of DNA in the nucleus of a sperm, while the half-anaphase stage of the same nodal cells contains the same amount of DNA as the nuclei of the male gametes. The DNA content of the nuclei of internodal ...
