High speed two-photon imaging of calcium dynamics in dendritic spines: consequences for spine calcium kinetics and buffer capacity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2007 Rapid calcium concentration changes in postsynaptic structures are crucial for synaptic plasticity. Thus far, the determinants of postsynaptic calcium dynamics have been studied predominantly based on the decay kinetics of calcium transients.

Deep phenotyping of coarse root architecture in R. pseudoacacia reveals that tree root system plasticity is confined within its architectural model. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 This study aims at assessing the influence of slope angle and multi-directional flexing and their interaction on the root architecture of Robinia pseudoacacia seedlings, with a particular focus on architectural model and trait plasticity.

Three-dimensional multi-mechanism bounding surface model for sands
Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2017 Within the multi-mechanism framework, a novel constitutive model for sands is proposed based on the critical state and bounding surface plasticity theories. The model assumes that the macroscopic deformation behavior of sands can be obtained by summation

Uniqueness of human running coordination: The integration of modern and ancient evolutionary innovations [PDF]
, 2016 Running is a pervasive activity across human cultures and a cornerstone of contemporary health, fitness and sporting activities. Yet for the overwhelming predominance of human existence running was an essential prerequisite for survival. A means to hunt,

ON ACCURACIES OF UNIAXIAL CYCLIC PLASTICITY BEHAVIOURS PREDICTED BY MULTI-SURFACE MODEL
Doboku Gakkai Ronbunshu, 1989 A stress-strain model which was highly accurate and distinct in nature was already subjected to complex repetitive loads. The model is based on one of the multi-surface plasticity theories. Material parameters introduced in the model are three functions expressing fundamental sizes of multi-surfaces and weighting functions to describe the sizes at ...

Influence of gaseous hydrogen on plastic strain in vicinity of fatigue crack tip in Armco pure iron
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018 A multi-scale characterisation of the crack tip plasticity has been investigated in a fatigue crack propagation under gaseous hydrogen at gas pressure of 35 MPa in a commercially pure iron, Armco iron. The dislocation structure beneath a fracture surface
