Structural Classification of Joints01:20

Structural Classification of Joints

Joints, also known as articulations, are classified based on their structural characteristics, i.e., based on whether the articulating surfaces of the adjacent bones are directly connected by fibrous connective tissue or cartilage, or whether the articulating surfaces contact each other within a fluid-filled joint cavity. These differences serve to divide the joints of the body into three structural classifications.
A fibrous joint is where the adjacent bones are united by fibrous connective...

Mechanistic Models: Overview of Compartment Models

Mechanistic models, a category encompassing both physiological and compartmental modeling, differ from empirical models' approaches to incorporating known factors about the systems being modeled. Empirical models describe data with minimal assumptions, while mechanistic models aim to provide a robust description of available data by specifying assumptions and integrating known factors about the system. Compartmental analysis is a key example of a mechanistic model in pharmacokinetics and...
Functional Classification of Joints01:09

Functional Classification of Joints

Functional Classification of Joints
The functional classification of joints is determined by the amount of mobility between the adjacent bones. Joints are functionally classified as a synarthrosis or immobile joint, an amphiarthrosis or slightly moveable joint, or as a diarthrosis, a freely moveable joint. Fibrous and cartilaginous joints can be functionally classified as either synarthroses  or amphiarthroses, whereas all synovial joints are classified as diarthroses.

Structuralism01:26

Structuralism

Structuralism, an early psychological theory developed by Wilhelm Wundt and his student Edward Bradford Titchener, sought to dissect the human mind into its most fundamental components. Wundt's groundbreaking work in his laboratory set the stage for Titchener to define structuralism's goal as cataloging the "atoms" of the mind—sensations, images, and feelings—akin to how chemists identify elements of matter.
Titchener's approach to structuralism was unique. He employed introspection, a method...
Multicompartment Models: Overview01:14

Multicompartment Models: Overview

Multicompartment models are mathematical constructs that depict how drugs are distributed and eliminated within the body. They segment the body into several compartments, symbolizing various physiological or anatomical areas connected through drug transfer processes such as absorption, metabolism, distribution, and elimination.
These models offer a more comprehensive representation of drug behavior in the body than one-compartment models. They accommodate the complexity of drug distribution,...
Morphogenesis02:19

Morphogenesis

Plant morphogenesis—the development of a plant’s form and structure—involves several overlapping developmental processes, including growth and cell differentiation. Precursor cells differentiate into specific cell types, which are organized into the tissues and organ systems that make up the functional plant.

Area of Science:

  • Plant Science
  • Computational Biology
  • Software Engineering

Background:

  • Functional-structural plant models (FSPMs) are crucial for understanding plant behavior and developing decision support systems.
  • Traditional programming methods hinder the integration and reuse of distinct plant functions within FSPMs.
  • A need exists for improved methodologies to manage the complexity of FSPMs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce an aspect-oriented programming (AOP) approach for developing FSPMs.
  • To demonstrate how AOP can overcome limitations in modularity and reusability of FSPM components.
  • To facilitate the integration of diverse plant functions within a unified modelling framework.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the L-system-based plant modelling language L+C.
  • Developed an aspect-oriented approach using multi-modules, where each module represents a functional aspect.
  • Implemented aspect weaving via pseudo-L-systems for inter-aspect communication.

Main Results:

  • Successfully integrated independent models of carbon dynamics, apical dominance, and biomechanics into a kiwifruit shoot FSPM.
  • Demonstrated the ability to incorporate pre-existing code with minimal modifications.
  • Validated the effectiveness of the aspect-oriented approach in managing complex, multi-faceted plant models.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed aspect-oriented approach facilitates the creation of well-organized and comprehensive FSPMs.
  • This methodology is highly suitable for studying complex plant phenomena by integrating various functional aspects.
  • Future work may involve extending this approach into a dedicated aspect-oriented programming language for FSPMs.
