We show here that a basic mechanical model provides the optimal dimensions of a leaf for light interception and self-support.
Given the high number of cells injected into the circulation exceeding the number of circulating metastatic cells in a metastatic incident, mechanical models only provide a partial explanation.
Overall, the proposed quasi-linear fluid system model yields better indirect estimates of forces from the measured responses when compared with direct force measurements, through a simpler mechanical system model provides some insights.
A mechanical model would provide a more controlled method of studying the mechanical properties of the bulk tissue.
Therefore, the study shows that the equivalent mechanical model can provide an effective method for the design of PCCWST.
First, while we observed bone formation, the model provided no mechanical loading apart from the mechanical simulation from movement of the latissimus dorsi muscle.
Computational models provide a platform to predict and simulate mechanical forces in cell morphogenesis [21], [23], [24] and mechanotransduction [45], [46].
A mechanical skin of -1.5 in the simulation model provided a reasonable match on the DST.
This knowledge provides a basis for developing mechanical models consistent with the Eurocode component method of joint design.
We expect that our high throughput, multi-dimensional measures will provide a solid foundation for developing mechanical models of the nucleus.
