✦ Synopsis
A mathematical model for bursting Ca 2þ oscillations is analysed from a physical point of view as a system of internally coupled fast and slow oscillators. We show that the fast subsystem determines the interburst frequency, whereas altering the kinetics of the slow processes changes the duration of the bursting phase in a resonant manner. The resonance effect appears between two oscillatory Ca 2þ -buffering mechanisms. This may be biologically important for a highly selective Ca 2þ signal transduction from cell receptors to target proteins.

We investigate the various types of complex Ca 2+ oscillations which can arise in a model based on the mechanism of Ca 2+ -induced Ca 2+ release (CICR), that takes into account the Ca 2+ -stimulated degradation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP 3 ) by a 3-kinase. This model was previously propos

An equation for the resonance frequency of a Helmholtz resonator was developed from the wave equation for the case of a cavity volume that was a rectangular parallelepiped and an orifice the flow from which had a constant velocity profile. The development resulted in an explicit form for the interio
