Plasticity of the brain is when rewiring occurs because of brain damage, finding different neural pathways and not relying on the damaged structures.

* Plasticity ( physics ), in physics and engineering, plasticity is the propensity of a material to undergo permanent deformation under load

* Plasticity is the behaviour observed after the material is subjected to a yield stress :</ br > A material that behaves as a solid under low applied stresses may start to flow above a certain level of stress, called the yield stress of the material.

Plasticity is vital for coking as it represents its ability to gradually form specific plasticity phases during the coking process, measured by coal dilatation tests.

Plasticity in a crystal of pure metal is primarily caused by two modes of deformation in the crystal lattice, slip and twinning.

* Plasticity or plastic deformation is the opposite of elastic deformation and is defined as unrecoverable strain.

* Brain Basics Synaptic Plasticity Synaptic transmission is plastic

Plasticity in female choice is favored for adapting to changes in ecological and social environments.

Plasticity surface friction is also very low in comparison to the plastic deformation energy and can be neglected.

Plasticity spreads throughout the solid and at the limit load, the plastic zone becomes very large and the displacements become unbounded and the component is said to have collapsed.

Plasticity is the major explanation for the phenomenon.

Schaffer collaterals affect the hippocampus to develop short ( Short-term Plasticity ) and long term synaptic plasticity ( Long-term Plasticity ) in terms of storing information and changing in the efficiency of synaptic transmission following previous synaptic activity.

* 1919 – Effect of Fineness of Cement on Plasticity and Strength of Concrete ( Experimental research on the effect of the fineness of concrete and various types of additives on plasticity and strength ).

Sometimes when there are many outcomes for a single trial, we group these outcomes into two classes, as in the example of the die, where we have arbitrarily constructed the classes `` ace '' and `` not-ace ''.

Particularly when based upon a single dominant party, governments may respond to such a situation by claiming a monopoly of understanding about the national interest.

One of the greatest Homerists of our time, Frederick M. Combellack, argues that when it is assumed The Iliad and The Odyssey are oral poems, the postulated single redactor called Homer cannot be either credited with or denied originality in choice of phrasing.

The Orioles got a run in the first inning when Breeding, along with Robinson, the two Birds who got a pair of hits, doubled to right center, moved to third on Russ Snyder's single to right and crossed on Kunkel's wild pitch into the dirt in front of the plate.

Jim Gentile bounced a hard shot off Kunkel's glove and beat it out for a single, and when Lumpe grabbed the ball and threw it over first baseman Throneberry's head Brandt took third and Gentile second on the error.

Last year, when he worked out at halfback all season, he didn't get into a single game.

So when old Mr. Lovejoy, the company president, talked about putting in a single sales manager for both branches after the head of the regular steels had gone with Carnegie-Illinois, it looked like the perfect chance for Bobbie.

It is often useful to be able to compute the variance in a single pass, inspecting each value only once ; for example, when the data are being collected without enough storage to keep all the values, or when costs of memory access dominate those of computation.

Atomic orbitals exactly describe the shape of this " atmosphere " only when a single electron is present in an atom.

The Radicals in the House of Representatives impeached him in 1868 ( a first for a U. S. president ), charging him with violating the Tenure of Office Act, when he sought to remove his Secretary of War without Senate approval ; his trial in the Senate ended in an acquittal by a single vote.

The Radicals in the House of Representatives impeached him in 1868 ( a first for a U. S. president ), charging him with violating the Tenure of Office Act, when he sought to remove his Secretary of War without Senate approval ; nevertheless, his trial in the Senate ended in an acquittal by a single vote.

Cross-resistance to several antibacterials may also occur when a resistance mechanism encoded by a single gene conveys resistance to more than one antibacterial compound.

Ethnic crossovers also occur when distinct elements meet in a single recipe.

In an imaging system, it occurs when light from one point of an object does not converge into ( or does not diverge from ) a single point after transmission through the system.

This is a serious problem if one has either a single trade or many related trades with a single counterparty, whose failure thus poses a threat, or in the event of a financial crisis when many counterparties fail.

Beam bridges are horizontal beams supported at each end by substructure units and can be either simply supported when the beams only connect across a single span, or continuous when the beams are connected across two or more spans.

In 1931 Lemaître went further and suggested that the evident expansion of the universe, if projected back in time, meant that the further in the past the smaller the universe was, until at some finite time in the past all the mass of the Universe was concentrated into a single point, a " primeval atom " where and when the fabric of time and space came into existence.

Lemaître, however, thought thatIf the world has begun with a single quantum, the notions of space and time would altogether fail to have any meaning at the beginning ; they would only begin to have a sensible meaning when the original quantum had been divided into a sufficient number of quanta.

The use of the term " battle " in military history has led to its misuse when referring to almost any scale of combat, notably by strategic forces involving hundreds of thousands of troops that may be engaged in either a single battle at one time ( Battle of Leipzig ) or multiple operations ( Battle of Kursk ).

A single constellation may contain fifty or more stars, but the Greek alphabet has only twenty-four letters ; when these ran out, Bayer began using lower-case Latin letters: hence s Carinae ( s of the Keel ) and d Centauri ( d of the Centaur ).

Certainly the most positive event of the 2011 season for the Orioles, was their involvement in the events that took place on September 28, when they defeated the Boston Red Sox 4-3 thanks to 9th inning heroics by both Nolan Reimold, and Robert Andino leading to a walk-off win on an Andino RBI single, and prevented them from earning the Wild Card berth.

Lara also holds the test record of scoring most number of runs in a single over in a Test match, when he scored 28 runs off an over by Robin Peterson of South Africa in 2003.

The distinction between genotype and phenotype is commonly experienced when studying family patterns for certain hereditary diseases or conditions, for example, haemophilia.

Unfortunately, even when the affected functional domain is known, it is difficult to predict the phenotypical consequences of a particular mutation ( see Correlation of genotype and phenotype ).

Incomplete dominance occurs when the phenotype of the heterozygous genotype is distinct from and often intermediate to the phenotypes of the homozygous genotypes.

In genetics, maternal effects occur when an organism shows the phenotype expected from the genotype of the mother, irrespective of its own genotype, often due to the mother supplying mRNA or proteins to the egg.

In genetics, a maternal effect occurs when the phenotype of an organism is determined by the genotype of its mother.

The non-territorial female does not normally show evidence of its genetic type, but when females are given testosterone implants, they display the male territorial behaviour corresponding to their genotype.

The homozygous recessive genotype when combined with the agouti gene ( iiA -), produces tabby coloration, which can vary along a spectrum ranging from a deeply patterned brown tabby, to a lighter " golden tabby ", to the very lightly colored shaded or chinchilla golden colors.

Somatic mosaicism occurs when the somatic cells of the body are of more than one genotype.

In plants with SI, when a pollen grain produced in a plant reaches a stigma of the same plant or another plant with a similar genotype, the process of pollen germination, pollen tube growth, ovule fertilization, and embryo development is halted at one of its stages, and consequently no seeds are produced.

Also of note, individuals with the LL genotype show significant improvements in alcohol misuse when treated with ondansetron, compared with individuals with the other genotypes of the 5HTTLPR polymorphism, who showed no improvement over placebo.

This phenomenon, which can be observed in the coloration of tortoiseshell cats when females are heterozygous for the X-linked gene, should not be confused with mosaicism, which is a term that specifically refers to differences in the genotype of various cell populations in the same individual ; X-inactivation, which is an epigenetic change that results in a different phenotype, is not a change at the genotypic level.

The Hardy-Weinberg law describes the relationship between allele and genotype frequencies when a population is not evolving.

The Hardy-Weinberg principle states that when no evolution occurs in a population, the allele and genotype frequencies do not change from one generation to the next.

If the strains complement, we imagine that one strain must have a genotype aa BB and the other AA bb, which when crossed yield the genotype AaBb.

Variable expressivity occurs when a phenotype is expressed to a different degree among individuals with the same genotype.

) This genotype results when these polyploid females mate with a pure Jefferson salamander male, incorporating ( often in warmer water conditions ) the chromosome from the pure male Jefferson salamander into her egg, usually having an LJ diploid chromosome set or LJJ triploid chromosome set, to produce LJJ or LJJJ offspring, respectively.

The clinical importance of pharmacogenetics comes from the possibility that drug treatment can be made safer and more effective when the patient's genotype is known.
