Cardiac action potential. The cardiac action potential is a brief change in voltage (membrane potential) across the cell membrane of heart cells. This is caused by the movement of charged atoms (called ions) between the inside and outside of the cell, through proteins called ion channels.
Smoke's Poutinerie is a Canadian nationwide poutine franchise founded by entrepreneur Ryan Smolkin. Founded in Toronto in 2008, its premiere location was the first poutine-exclusive restaurant in that town. Smolkin was inspired by Montreal restaurant La Banquise, which serves many different kinds of poutine. Smolkin frequents La Banquise whenever he visits Montreal.
Smoke's Poutinerie, the colorful, cult brand that has achieved icon status for its entertaining twist on Canada's classic fries, cheese curds and gravy, is poised for immense expansion, planning to open 1,300 restaurants in the next five years with 800 in the United States.
