Socioemotional Experience and Gender Development01:30

Socioemotional Experience and Gender Development

333
Social-emotional experiences and cultural influences play significant roles in shaping gender development. During middle childhood, from ages 6 to 11, peer groups become dominant in reinforcing gender norms. Children in this age group often align with same-gender peer groups, which actively encourage behaviors that conform to traditional gender roles. For instance, boys may be discouraged from engaging in activities perceived as feminine, reinforcing culturally dictated norms about masculinity...

Plasticity00:58

Plasticity

3.1K
Plasticity is the property where an object loses its elasticity and undergoes irreversible deformation, even after the deformation forces are eliminated. If a material deforms irreversibly without increasing stress or load, then this is called ideal plasticity. For example, when a force is applied to an aluminum rod, it changes its shape, but it does not return to its original shape once the force is removed. Plastic deformation or ductility is thus a permanent deformation or change in the...

Plasticizers01:31

Plasticizers

374
Water-reducers, or plasticizers, are chemical admixtures used in concrete to improve strength and workability. These additives reduce the water-cement ratio without compromising workability, lower the cement content while maintaining the same workability, or increase workability to assist concrete placement in inaccessible areas.
Plasticizers function by using surface-active agents to create repulsive electrostatic forces between cement particles. This dispersion enhances the concrete's...

Plastic Behavior01:21

Plastic Behavior

580
A material's elastic behavior is characterized by the disappearance of stress once the load is removed, allowing the material to return to its original state. However, when stress surpasses the yield point, yielding commences, marking the onset of plastic deformation or permanent set. This change from elastic to plastic behavior is influenced by the peak stress value and the duration before the load is removed. An intriguing observation occurs when a specimen is loaded, unloaded, and...

Plastic Deformations

473
It is essential to understand how structural members behave under plastic deformation when the bending stress exceeds the material's yield strength. This state of deformation permanently alters the shape of the member, in contrast to the linear elastic behavior observed before yielding. The strain at any point in the member is expressed in terms of maximum strain. Notably, the neutral axis, which coincides with the centroid during elastic bending, shifts away from the centroid under plastic...

Plastic Deformations

471
Plastic deformation represents a fundamental concept in materials science, which explains the irreversible change in the shape of a material when it experiences stress beyond its elastic capability. This phenomenon is important in structural engineering, especially in designing and analyzing cantilever beams—structures that are securely fixed at one end and bear loads at the opposite end. When these beams are subjected to loads within their elastic range, they will return to their...

Area of Science:

  • Medical research
  • Surgical subspecialties
  • Academic medicine

Background:

  • Women constitute over 50% of medical school graduates and 38% of faculty positions in US medical schools.
  • Despite progress, gender disparities persist in surgical subspecialties, including plastic surgery.
  • This study investigates gender authorship trends in academic plastic surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze gender authorship trends in academic plastic surgery.
  • To identify disparities in scholarly productivity between male and female plastic surgeons.
  • To explore factors influencing academic productivity in plastic surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-sectional study of 814 academic plastic surgeons in the United States.
  • Data collected from departmental websites and online resources.
  • National Institute of Health (NIH) funding assessed via Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools; publications and h-index from Scopus.

Main Results:

  • Women had fewer years in practice, lower academic ranks, and published less than men (P < 0.001).
  • Women with PhDs published less than men with PhDs (P = 0.04).
  • No significant gender difference in NIH funding (P = 0.57) or scholarly output among NIH-funded surgeons.

Conclusions:

  • Significant gender disparities in scholarly productivity exist among academic plastic surgeons.
  • Years in practice, academic rank, leadership roles, advanced degrees, and NIH funding correlate positively with academic productivity.
  • Future efforts must focus on improving gender equality and removing barriers to academic development in plastic surgery.
