Basic progress and future therapeutic perspectives of relaxin in ischemic heart disease.

abstract：:This paper analyzes the effect of low amplitude friction and noise in accelerating phase space transport in time-independent Hamiltonian systems that exhibit global stochasticity. Numerical experiments reveal that even very weak non-Hamiltonian perturbations can dramatically increase the rate at which an ensemble of o...
