✦ Synopsis

We present a simple model, describing the propagation of a travelling signal in a media that is intended to model phenomena in cardiac tissue. The model is a caricature designed to examine some characteristics of a propagating medium that can support spontaneous and non-stimulated fibrillation behaviour. The model consists of a large number of weakly interacting components, each of which operates according to a simplified set of rules. Specifically it is a form of cellular automaton, with the introduction of probabilistic nature in terms of a random refractory period.

A directed epidemic propagation process is modeled by a deterministic cellular automaton with three local states (infected, immunized and susceptible). The model is characterized by the choice of the lifetimes of the infected and immunized states as external parameters and by the existence of a cont

We combine linear and nonlinear signal analysis techniques to investigate the transmission of pressure signals along a one-dimensional model of fluid flow in an elastic tube. We derive a simple, generally applicable measure for the robustness of a simulated vessel against in vivo pressure fluctuatio
