Plasticity, plasticity, plasticity…and the rigid problem of sex [PDF]
Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2013 Why is popular understanding of female–male differences still based on rigid models of development, even though contemporary developmental sciences emphasize plasticity? Is it because the science of sex differences still works from the same rigid models?

NeuroRX, 2006 Over the past 20 years, evidence has mounted regarding the capacity of the central nervous system to alter its structure and function throughout life. Injury to the central nervous system appears to be a particularly potent trigger for plastic mechanisms to be elicited.

Sensory plasticity in a socially plastic bee [PDF]
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2022 Abstract The social Hymenoptera have contributed much to our understanding of the evolution of sensory systems. Attention has focussed chiefly on how sociality and sensory systems have evolved together. In the Hymenoptera, the antennal sensilla are important for optimizing the perception of olfactory social ...

New plastic joints for plastic orthoses [PDF]
Prosthetics & Orthotics International, 1982 Plastic joints for orthoses have more advantages than metal joints. They are lightweight, noiseless comfortable to use, rust proof, corrosion free, and radiolucent. Two types of plastic joints were developed by the authors, one for the ankle joint and the other for the knee joint, elbow joint or hip joint. Polypropylene was chosen as the joint material

Environmental Health Perspectives, 1975 An overview is given of the processing of plastic materials from the handling of polymers in the pellet and powder form to manufacturing of a plastic fabricated product. Various types of equipment used and melt processing ranges of various polymer formulations to make the myriad of plastic products that are commercially available are discussed.

Forming of Magnesium — Crystal Plasticity and Plastic Potentials [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2007 Hexagonal close‐packed (hcp) metals show a deformation behavior, which is quite different from that of materials with cubic crystalline structure. As a consequence, rolled or extruded products of magnesium and its alloys exhibit a strong anisotropy and an unlike yielding in tension and compression.

Rehabilitation and Plasticity [PDF]
, 2013 Therapies for effective neurorehabiltiation are in part based on brain mechanism commonly described as neuroplasticity. These therapeutic approaches emphasize the re-learning of functionality that was lost due to the injury through reorganization of neural circuits in the remaining intact tissue.

The future is plastic: refiguring Malabou’s plasticity
Journal for Cultural Research, 2014 This article investigates Catherine Malabou’s claims to have produced some form of beyond of deconstruction with her reworking of the Hegelian concept of “plasticity” (Plastizität). In the light of Malabou’s critique of the unsuitability of the Derridean non-concept of “text” for being a suitable metaphor for neuronal functioning in her Plasticité, I ...
