The use of computational techniques increasingly permeates developmental biology, from
the acquisition, processing and analysis of experimental data to the construction of models …

Plant cells in tissues experience mechanical stress not only as a result of high turgor, but
also through interaction with their neighbors. Cells can expand at different rates and in …

All human beings have spontaneous needs for happiness, self-understanding, and love. In
Feeling Good: The Science of Well Being, psychiatrist Robert Cloninger describes a way to …

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 …

Throughout development, plant meristems regularly produce organs in defined spiral,
opposite, or whorl patterns. Cauliflowers present an unusual organ arrangement with a …

While radial 3D acquisition has been discussed in cardiac MRI for its excellent results with
radial undersampling, the self‐navigating properties of the trajectory need yet to be …

Darwin introduced the concept that random variation generates new living forms. In this
paper, we elaborate on Darwin's notion of random variation to propose that biological …

The pattern of plant organ initiation at the shoot apical meristem (SAM), termed phyllotaxis,
displays regularities that have long intrigued botanists and mathematicians alike. In the …

Phyllotaxis, the regular arrangement of leaves or flowers around a plant stem, is an example
of developmental pattern formation and organogenesis. Phyllotaxis is characterized by the …

The Art of Proving Binomial Identities accomplishes two goals:(1) It provides a unified
treatment of the binomial coefficients, and (2) Brings together much of the undergraduate …
