Plasticity00:58

Plasticity

2.5K
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...

Survival Tree01:19

Survival Tree

132
Survival trees are a non-parametric method used in survival analysis to model the relationship between a set of covariates and the time until an event of interest occurs, often referred to as the "time-to-event" or "survival time." This method is particularly useful when dealing with censored data, where the event has not occurred for some individuals by the end of the study period, or when the exact time of the event is unknown.

Neuroplasticity01:01

Neuroplasticity

676
Neuroplasticity reflects the brain's remarkable capacity to adapt and evolve, responding dynamically to learning, experiences, or injury by reorganizing its neural circuitry. This reorganization involves creating new neural connections and refining old ones through a series of biological processes that contribute to the brain's lifelong development and adaptability.

Meristems and Plant Growth02:36

Meristems and Plant Growth

46.4K
Plants grow throughout their lives; this is called indeterminate growth, and it distinguishes plants from most animals. Although certain parts of plants stop growing (e.g., leaves and flowers), others grow continuously—like roots and stems.

Plastic Behavior01:21

Plastic Behavior

249
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 Deformations01:19

Plastic Deformations

169
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...

  • Biophysics
  • Computational modeling

Background:

  • Plant plasticity allows adaptation to environmental changes.
  • Wind's impact on plant growth is understudied computationally and experimentally.

  • Coupling a functional-structural plant model with a biomechanical model.
  • Simulating primary and secondary stem growth under wind loads.
  • Using Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II) for multi-objective optimization (stem biomass, tree height).

Main Results:

  • Simulated trees showed phenotypic plasticity in response to wind speed.
  • Tree height and leaf area decreased with increasing wind speed.
  • Diameter at breast height (DBH) increased at low wind speeds but decreased at high wind speeds.
  • Stronger winds resulted in smaller overall tree size.

Conclusions:

  • Modeling plant plasticity can be achieved through optimizing plant fitness functions.
  • Integrating biomechanical models enhances FSPMs and broadens their applicability.
  • The model realistically simulates tree responses to wind, offering insights into plant behavior.
