ALGORITHM FOR AN EFFECTIVE RATIO OF THE TRANSVERSE BENDING RIGIDITY BASED ON THE SEGMENT JOINT BENDING STIFFNESS

Algorithm for an Effective Ratio of the Transverse Bending Rigidity Based on the Segment Joint Bending Stiffness

An algorithm for calculating the effective ratio of the transverse bending rigidity is established based on the segment longitudinal joint bending stiffness.With the knowledge of KNIFE PARTS this effective ratio, the bending rigidity of a modified uniform rigidity ring is fully defined.To verify this developed algorithm, the effective ratios and co

Reference areas and edaphoclimatic variables: support for the choice of tree species in the restoration of riparian forests in Southern Brazil

Identifying factors involved in the choice of species for forest restoration is a great challenge, given the wide range of biotic and abiotic factors that may influence ecosystem trajectories.This review aims to highlight the information from reference areas and edaphoclimatic factors as aids in the choice of forest species to be used in the restor

Maternal gestational cortisol and testosterone are associated with trade-offs in offspring sex and number in a free-living rodent (Urocitellus richardsonii).

The adaptive manipulation of offspring sex and number has been of considerable interest to ecologists and evolutionary biologists.The physiological mechanisms that translate maternal condition and environmental cues into adaptive responses in offspring sex and number, however, remain obscure.In mammals, research into the Merchandising mechanisms re

The role of additive neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity in a hippocampal memory model with grid-cell like input.

Recently, we presented a study of adult neurogenesis in a simplified hippocampal memory model.The network was required to encode and decode memory patterns despite changing input statistics.We showed that additive neurogenesis was a more effective adaptation strategy compared to neuronal turnover and conventional synaptic plasticity as it allowed t
