An analysis of muscle contraction based on irreversible thermodynamics is presented in this work. From reported experimental results, it is shown that a muscle, as an energy converter, does not obey linear phenomenological relations. Some more suitable nonlinear phenomenological relations are found

In most of the recent literature on fair allocation in economies with indivisible goods and a single infinitely divisible good, it is assumed that each agent can consume at most one indivisible good. In this paper, we show that if this assumption is dropped, there do not necessarily exist envy-free
The temporal relationship between myosin phosphorylation, contractile force and ATPase activity was studied in skinned preparations from the guinea-pig Taenia coli. When free Calcium concentration [( Ca2+]) was increased from pCa (-log[Ca2+]) 9 to pCa 4.5 at low calmodulin concentration (0.05 microM
