Elements: Chemical Symbols and Isotopes

125.5K
A chemical symbol is an abbreviation used to indicate an element or an atom of an element. For example, the symbol for mercury is Hg. The same symbol is used to indicate one atom of mercury (microscopic domain) or to label a container of many atoms of the element mercury (macroscopic domain).
Some symbols are derived from the common English name of the element; others are abbreviations of the name in another language — Latin, Greek or German. For example, the symbol for aluminum (common name)...

Classification of Elements and Compounds02:54

Classification of Elements and Compounds

73.0K
Pure substances consist of only one type of matter. A pure substance can be an element or a compound. An element consists of only one type of atom, while a compound consists of two or more types of atoms held together by a chemical bond. Elements are classified as atomic or molecular based on the nature of their basic units.
Compounds are pure substances composed of two or more elements in fixed, definite proportions. Compounds are classified as ionic or molecular (covalent) based on the bonds...

Periodic Classification of the Elements

58.8K
The periodic table arranges atoms based on increasing atomic number so that elements with the same chemical properties recur periodically. When their electron configurations are added to the table, a periodic recurrence of similar electron configurations in the outer shells of these elements is observed. Because they are in the outer shells of an atom, valence electrons play the most important role in chemical reactions. The outer electrons have the highest energy of the electrons in an atom...

Key Elements for Plant Nutrition02:35

Key Elements for Plant Nutrition

24.1K
Like all living organisms, plants require organic and inorganic nutrients to survive, reproduce, grow and maintain homeostasis. To identify nutrients that are essential for plant functioning, researchers have leveraged a technique called hydroponics. In hydroponic culture systems, plants are grown—without soil—in water-based solutions containing nutrients. At least 17 nutrients have been identified as essential elements required by plants. Plants acquire these elements from the...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Computational Mechanics
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Accurate breast biomechanical modeling is crucial for surgical planning and understanding tissue mechanics.
  • Finite element (FE) analysis offers a powerful tool for simulating complex soft-tissue deformations.
  • Quantifying mechanical differences between natural and augmented breasts can inform clinical practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a subject-specific FE modeling framework for estimating breast hyperelastic parameters from gravity-driven deformation.
  • To investigate mechanical differences between post-augmentation breasts with silicone implants and natural breasts.

Main Methods:

  • Modeled breasts from MRI data of 12 participants (6 natural, 6 post-augmentation).
  • Simulated upright morphology using a two-step gravity procedure in Abaqus with an Ogden hyperelastic law.
  • Identified apparent stiffness parameters (Ogden exponent α and shear modulus μ) by minimizing shape discrepancies.

Main Results:

  • The FE workflow accurately reproduced standing breast morphology.
  • Post-augmentation breasts demonstrated a higher effective shear modulus compared to natural breasts.
  • Significant inter-individual variability was observed in the Ogden exponent (α).

Conclusions:

  • A subject-specific FE framework can accurately model breast deformation and reveal altered biomechanical properties.
  • Breast augmentation with silicone implants leads to increased apparent stiffness.
  • This framework supports individualized surgical planning, implant selection, and outcome prediction in breast biomechanics.
