If a three-element mechanical model incorporating a stress-dependent thermally activated rate process is used to predict the instantaneous and anelastic components of elastic modulus of high density polyethylene, it is suggested that the measured elastic modulus determines the anelastic response rat

โฆ Synopsis
We present the elements of a mathematical computational model that reflects the experimental finding that the time-scale of a neuron is not fixed; but rather varies with the history of its stimulus. Unlike most physiological models, there are no pre-determined rates associated with transitions between states of the system nor are there pre-determined constants associated with adaptation rates; instead, the model is a kind of "modulating automata" where the rates emerge from the history of the system itself. We focus in this paper on the temporal dynamics of a neuron and show how a simple internal structure will give rise to complex temporal behavior. The internal structure modeled here is an abstraction of a reasonably well-understood physiological structure. We also suggest that this behavior can be used to transform a "rate" code into a "temporal one".

## Abstract Individual neurons display characteristic firing patterns determined by the number and kind of ion channels in their membranes. We describe experimental and computational studies that suggest that neurons use activity sensors to regulate the number and kind of ion channels and receptors
In this article, an attempt was made to develop an activation process model. The average energy of the translational motion of the atoms, taking part in the elementary activation process and being in the thermodynamic equilibrium with thermal radiation, was obtained using the quantum canonical Gibbs
