In Neuroscience , homeostatic plasticity refers to the capacity of neurons to regulate their own excitability relative to network activity, a compensatory adjustment that occurs over the timescale of days. Homeostatic plasticity is thought to balance Hebbian learning Hebbian plasticity by modulating the activity of the synapse or the properties of ion channels. Homeostatic plasticity in neocortical circuits has been studied in depth by Gina Turrigiano and Sacha Nelson Brandeis University , who first showed in their paper in the journal Nature in 1998 describing a compensatory changes in excitatory post synaptic currents mEPSCs after chronic activity manipulations, there have been reports of related phenomena circa. 1992 . The exact mechanisms underlying this phenomenon are under active investigation. The term homeostatic plasticity derives from two opposing concepts homeostatic a product of the Greek words for same and state or condition and plasticity or change , thus homeostatic plasticity means staying the same through change.

Low plasticity burnishing LPB is a method of metal improvement that provides deep, stable surface compressive residual stress es with little cold work for improved damage tolerance and metal fatigue life extension. Improved fretting fatigue and stress corrosion performance has been documented, even at elevated temperatures where the compression from other metal improvement processes relax. The resulting deep layer of compressive residual stress has also been shown to improve high cycle fatigue HCF and low cycle fatigue LCF performance. History Unlike LPB, traditional burnishing tools consist of a hard wheel or fixed lubricated ball pressed into the surface of an asymmetrical work piece with sufficient force to deform the surface layers, usually in a lathe. The process does multiple passes over the work pieces, usually under increasing load, to improve surface finish and deliberately cold work the surface. Roller and ball burnishing have been studied in Russia and Japan, and were applied most extensively in the USSR in the 1970s. Various burnishing methods are used, particularly in Eastern Europe, to improve fatigue life. Improvements in HCF, corrosion fatigue and SCC are documented, with fatigue strength enhancement attributed to improved finish, the development of a compressive surface layer, and the increased yield strength of the cold worked surface.

unreferenced date December 2011 A T1 process is a topological rearrangement process of the first kind for four discrete objects such as Soap bubble bubbles , drop liquid drop s, Cell biology cells , etc. The four objects are initially arranged in a plane in the following way. Objects A and B are in contact and objects C and D are on either side of the AB group and touching both A and B. The T1 process consists in breaking the contact between A and B and establishing the contact between C and D. Materials made of these objects have a number of similar rheology rheological properties . Among these, plasticity physics plasticity allows them to be deformed irreversibly. For such materials, such irreversible deformations arise from the possibility to rearrange their constitutive objects. Thus, the T1 process is the major mesoscopic ingredient of plasticity for these materials. Category Topology ... more details
Unreferenced auto yes date December 2009 Genetic architecture refers to the underlying genetic basis of a phenotype phenotypic Trait biological trait . A synonymous term is the genotype phenotype map , the way that genotypes map to the phenotypes. The genotype phenotype map has been analyzed in terms of several principal axes epistasis, polygeny, pleiotropy, quasi continuity, modularity, phenotypic plasticity, robustness, and evolvability. Epistasis when the alleles at one Locus genetics locus change the phenotypic effects of genetic variation at another locus, the two genes are said to exhibit epistasis in their interactions. Polygeny when multiple genes contribute to a particular phenotypic character, the map is said to possess polygeny . The genetic architecture in cases of polygeny can be further characterized by the spectrum of contributions of the genes, e.g. many genes of small effect vs. few genes of large effect. Pleiotropy when multiple phenotypic characters are affected by a single genetic variation, the map is said to possess pleiotropy . Quasi continuity when small genetic changes map to small phenotypic changes, the map is said to possess Lewontin quasi continuity Lewontin . Modularity when two different phenotypic characters can be mapped to mostly non overlapping sets of genes, the map is said to possess modularity , though this concept is still in flux in the scientific literature. Phenotypic plasticity Plasticity when a single genotype gives rise to a spectrum of phenotypes, the phenotype is said to have plasticity . The plasticity may occur as different phenotypes among different individuals of the same genotype, or different phenotypes within the lifetime of a single individual, or different phenotypes in response to specific environmental conditions. Mutational robustness when the same phenotype occurs in an organism despite a variety of environmental perturbations, it is said to be robust . When the same phenotype is produced despite mutations ... more details
