  1. 11. Experimental studies on mouse slow and fast twitch muscles

    Författare :Filli Nurhussen; Anders Eriksson; Ulla Svantesson; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Other engineering mechanics; Övrig teknisk mekanik;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with physiological and mechanical properties of fast and slow twitch mouse muscles. It discusses isometric, concentric and eccentric contractions of mouse extensor digitorum longus ('EDL') and soleus ('SOL') muscles. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Quantifying strain in analogue models simulating fold-and-thrust belts using magnetic fabric analysis

    Författare :Thorben Schöfisch; Hemin Koyi; Bjarne Almqvist; Stefan Luth; Ram Weinberger; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; analogue modelling; AMS; fold-and-thrust belt; strain distribution; décollement friction; magnetic fabric analysis;

    Sammanfattning : Applying the anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility to analogue models provides detailed insights into the strain distribution and quantification of deformation within contractional tectonic settings like fold-and-thrust belts (FTBs). Shortening in FTBs is accommodated by layer-parallel shortening, folding, and thrusting. LÄS MER

  4. 13. On spinal mechanisms for reflex control in man : modulation of Ia-afferent excitation with changes in muscle length, activation level and fatigue

    Författare :Maria M. Nordlund; Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Electromyography; eccentric; concentric; presynaptic inhibition; H-reflex; central fatigue; twitch interpolation; muscle spindle; Medicin Teknik; Medicine Technology; Electromyography; eccentric; concentric; presynaptic inhibition; H-reflex; central fatigue; twitch interpolation; muscle spindle;

    Sammanfattning : To control muscle force, neural activation has to take alterations in muscle mechanics into account. This thesis assesses modulations in excitatory efficacy of Ia-afferents during muscle length changes at different levels of voluntary activation and during fatigue. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Modelling of muscular force induced by non-isometric contraction

    Författare :Natalia Kosterina; Anders Eriksson; Michael Günther; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Skeletal muscle; Muscular force; Concentric contractions; Eccentric con- tractions; History effect; Force modification; Muscle model; Musculoskeletal model;

    Sammanfattning : The main objective of the study was to investigate and simulate skeletal muscleforce production during and after isometric contractions, active muscle lengtheningand active muscle shortening. The motivation behind this work was to improve thedominant model of muscle force generation based on the theories of Hill from 1938. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Ground Movements in the Zagros Fold-Thrust Belt of SW Iran Measured by GPS and InSAR Compared to Physical Models

    Författare :Faramarz Nilfouroushan; Christopher Talbot; Hemin Koyi; Christophe Vigny; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Earth sciences; Zagros fold-thrust belt; deformation; GPS; InSAR; Physical modeling; tectonics; convergent settings; basal friction; Geovetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis uses geodetic satellite data to measure present-day crustal deformation in the Zagros fold-thrust belt (SW Iran). Geodetic-type measurements are also used in down-scaled models that simulate the surface deformations seen in convergent settings like the Zagros fold-thrust belt. LÄS MER
