Membrane properties and calcium ion activity in skeletal muscle fibres of the dystrophic mouse
… in normal soleus and extensor digitorum longus (EDL) by 4 weeks and 3 weeks respectively. Electrophysiological parameters in dystrophic soleus developed in a similar maimer to normal muscle, but RMP in dystrophic EDL was reduced and input resistance was elevated suggesting the presence of a …

Interface Driven Dynamics at Nanoscales:Polymer thin films and Electrical Double Layer
The electrical double layer (EDL) is formed due to the accumulation of charge at the interface of a metal surface in contact with an electrolyte. The total charge in the EDL compensates the charge on the metal surface. As EDL is the layer that "connects" the electrode to the "bulk", all electrode …

Far-right party-movement interactions in times of crises (2009-2019): The cases of Lega-CasaPound Italia in Italy and UKIP-EDL in the United Kingdom
Understanding how political parties and social movements interact and what are the results of these interactions is important for both scholars of Political Science and Sociology. This is particularly true for far-right actors since they are characterised by diverse ideological and organisational …

Signal Transduction in Skeletal Muscle Mediating Responses to Phenotype Altering Signals
… in both fast rat extensor digitorum longus (EDL; 3% type I fibres) and slow Soleus (84% type I fibres) would be systematically different. Secondly, it was hypothesised that following 6 weeks of chronic electrical stimulation (CMNS) where the EDL undergoes a fast-to-slow transformation, the …
