Abstract: Current numerical methods for solving kinematic identification (KI) and inverse kinematics (IK) are limited in accuracy, convergence rates, and robustness, necessitating further enhancement.

A central goal of biology is to understand how genetic variation produces phenotypic variation, which has been described as a genotype to phenotype (G to P) map. The plant form is continuously shaped ...

MPSpack is a user-friendly and fully object-oriented MATLAB toolbox that implements the method of particular solutions (aka Trefftz or nonpolynomial FEM, including the method of fundamental solutions, ...

Directed cortical responses to intracranial electrical stimulation are a good standard for mapping inter-regional direct connectivity. Cortico-cortical evoked potential (CCEP), elicited by single ...

The supply of water is the most reliable predictor of survival and performance in crops. Nonetheless, our ability to design or breed plants with superior tolerance to drought or flooding is ...

Root system growth and development is highly plastic and is influenced by the surrounding environment. Roots frequently grow in heterogeneous environments that include interactions from neighboring ...

Characterizing root system architecture (RSA) is essential to understanding the development and function of vascular plants. Identifying RSA-associated genes also represents an underexplored ...
