Skeletal muscle contraction is triggered by a rise in calcium concentration in the myofibrillar space. The objective of this study was to develop a voltage dependent compartment model of calcium dynamics in frog skeletal muscle fibers.

Developing compact algorithms for accurate electrodynamic calculations with minimal computational cost is an active area of research given the increasing complexity in the design of electromagnetic composite structures.

A strong correlation is found between machined surfaces and their fatigue limits.

Microwave-enabled exfoliation of graphite oxides has been recently shown to be capable of quickly producing graphene sheets of larger size and with fewer defects with the potential for low-cost mass production.

A Body Area Network (BAN) consists of a set of sensing devices deployed on a person (user) typically for health monitoring purposes.

Residential and small business customers often have need for high instantaneous download throughput for their Internet transactions which can exceed the throughput provided by the customer's Internet Service Provider (ISP).

OnLive is a thin-client, cloud-based, video game streaming service. As part of their service, OnLive must distribute game content to their servers in a manner that provides good performance for the players while using hardware resources effectively.

Computer games stand to benefit from “cloud” technology by doing heavy-weight, graphics-intensive computations at the server, sending only the visual game frames down to a thin client, with the client sending only the player actions upstream to the server.

Artemisinin (AN) is produced by Artemisia annua, a medicinal herb long used as a tea infusion in traditional Chinese medicine to treat fever; it is also the key ingredient in current artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) effective in treating malaria.
