By varying the excitability and geometrical properties of the medium, propagation can be made unidirectional or bidirectional, giving rise, respectively, to the existence or not of sustained reentrant activity in a closed excitable track.5 p.application/pdfeng(c) American Physical Society, 2002Física estadísticaTermodinàmicaQuímica físicaDinàmica de fluidsStatistical physicsThermodynamicsPhysical chemistryFluid dynamicsUnidirectional mechanism for reentrant activity generation in excitable mediainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article500278info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
