Contact pressure models for spiral phyllotaxis and their computer simulation.

چکیده
We present a simple, biologically motivated model for the creation of phyllotactical patterns in capitula and their computer simulation. An in-depth investigation of Ridley's contact pressure model is performed and a refinement of contact pressure between primordia on the basis of local centroidal Voronoi relaxation is presented. Using this method in combination with Hofmeisters rule for placing new primordia creates stable patterns with Fibonacci spirals of high degree for a large range of initial conditions.

Application of Nano-Contact Mechanics Models in Manipulation of Biological Nano-Particle: FE Simulation
Contact mechanics is related to the deformation study of solids that meet each other at one or more points. The physical and mathematical formulation of the problem is established upon the mechanics of materials and continuum mechanics and focuses on computations involving bodies with different characteristics in static or dynamic contact. Contact mechanics gives essential information for the s...

متن کاملModeling and Simulation of Spherical and Cylindrical Contact Theories for Using in the Biological Nanoparticles Manipulation
The low Young's modulus of biological particles results in their large deformation against the AFM probe forces; therefore, it is necessary to study the contact mechanics of bioparticles in order to predict their mechanical behaviors. This paper specifically deals with the contact mechanics of DNA nanoparticles with spherical and cylindrical shapes during manipulation. In previous studies, ...
متن کاملA plausible model of phyllotaxis.
A striking phenomenon unique to the kingdom of plants is the regular arrangement of lateral organs around a central axis, known as phyllotaxis. Recent molecular-genetic experiments indicate that active transport of the plant hormone auxin is the key process regulating phyllotaxis. A conceptual model based on these experiments, introduced by Reinhardt et al. [Reinhardt, D., Pesce, E. R., Stieger...
متن کاملAn Efficient Technique for Substrate Coupling Parasitic Extraction with Application to RF/Microwave Spiral Inductors (RESEARCH NOTE)
This paper presents an efficient modeling method, based on the microstrip lines theory, for the coupling between a substrate backplane and a device contact. We derive simple closed-form formulas for rapid extraction of substrate parasitics. We use these formulas to model spiral inductors as important substrate-noise sources in mixed-signal systems. The proposed model is verified for the freque...
