We have developed a methodology for performing crosses in Setaria viridis (S. viridis). The method involves pruning the panicle prior to a hot water treatment to kill viable pollen. Crosses are performed following a well-controlled growth regime and typically result in the recovery of 1 to 7 cross-pollinated seed/s per panicle.

Source: Laboratory of Alan Lester - University of Colorado Boulder Geologic maps were first made and utilized in Europe, in the mid-to-late 18th century. Ever since, they have been an important part of geological investigations all around the world that strive to understand rock distributions on the surface of the earth, in the subsurface, and their modification through time. A modern geologic map is a data-rich representation of rocks and rock-structures in a two-dimensional plan view. The...

The methodology for fabricating synthetic vocal fold models is described. The models are life-sized and mimic the multi-layer structure of the human vocal folds. Results show the models to self-oscillate at pressures comparable to lung pressure and demonstrate flow-induced vibratory responses that are similar to those of human vocal folds.

Genetic Crosses

To dissect genetic processes or create organisms with novel suites of traits, scientists can perform genetic crosses, or the purposeful mating of two organisms. The recombination of parental genetic material in the offspring allows researchers to deduce the functions, interactions, and locations of genes. This video will examine how genetic crosses were influential in developing Mendel's three laws of inheritance, which form the basis of our understanding of genetics. One genetic crossing...

Theories of Dissolution: Diffusion Layer Model
0 Views •
2024
Dissolution, the process by which drug particles dissolve in a solvent, is explained by the diffusion layer model, a theoretical framework that simulates the absorption of oral drugs and allows us to analyze experimental data. This process starts with a thin layer, saturated with the drug, forming at the interface between the solid and liquid. The solute then diffuses from this layer into the main solution. The Noyes-Whitney equation suggests that the rate of dissolution relies on the diffusion...
FAQs
The models exchange information that is meaningful at their shared boundaries. A lower-level model can provide component behavior or physical limits, while a higher-level model supplies system objectives or operating requirements. Passing these variables, constraints, and outputs allows each layer to reflect conditions imposed by the others, producing results that better represent system-wide interactions.
Coupling abstraction levels connects detailed component behavior with system-level performance rather than treating them as unrelated calculations. This connection can reveal how a local limitation affects broader objectives and how system requirements constrain lower-level choices. Engineers can therefore assess interactions and design trade-offs in a coordinated model before committing to implementation decisions.
Independent analysis can overlook dependencies between physical components, control logic, communication networks, and overall performance. Cross Layer Modeling preserves those relationships by transferring relevant results and requirements between models. That distinction matters when a change at one layer creates a bottleneck or alters performance elsewhere, because the coupled approach exposes consequences that isolated studies may miss.
A practical workflow begins by identifying the system layers and selecting a model for each relevant level of abstraction. Engineers then define the variables, constraints, and outputs exchanged between models, couple the models, and simulate the combined system. The resulting behavior can be examined for interactions, bottlenecks, trade-offs, and alignment with system-level objectives.
Engineers should consider this approach when system behavior depends on interactions among multiple layers and a single-layer model cannot represent those dependencies adequately. It is especially useful during design evaluation, when teams need to compare trade-offs or locate bottlenecks before implementation. The coupled analysis supports decisions that account for both detailed behavior and overall performance.
By linking component behavior to system objectives, the approach supports more realistic simulation and coordinated optimization. Engineers can use the results to evaluate alternative designs, identify limiting interactions, and examine whether local choices support broader performance goals. These insights contribute to designs that are more robust and efficient before the system is built or implemented.
