Regrowing axons with alternative splicing

The regeneration of axons relies on a previously unknown mechanism that involves the regulation of alternative splicing by CELF proteins.

Modeling lobed leaves

In contrast to the extensively researched modeling of plant architecture, the modeling of plant organs largely remains an open problem. In this paper, we propose a method for modeling lobed leaves. This method extends the concept of sweeps to branched skeletons. The input of the model is a 2D leaf silhouette, which can be defined interactively or derived from a scanned leaf image. The algorithm...

Stability of Lobed Balloons

This paper presents a computational study of the stability of simple lobed balloon structures. Two approaches are presented, one based on a wrinkled material model and one based on a variable Poisson’s ratio model that eliminates compressive stresses iteratively. The first approach is used to investigate the stability of both a single isotensoid and a stack of four isotensoids, for perturbation...
