plasticity

listen to the pronunciation of plasticity
İngilizce - İngilizce
The quality or state of being plastic
the property of a solid body whereby it undergoes a permanent change in shape or size when subjected to a stress exceeding a particular value (the yield value)
the property of some substances through which the form of the mass can readily be changed
{n} the quality of being susceptible of form
Ability to be molded or shaped
The ability to retain a shape attained by pressure deformation
The properties of a material that allow it to be shaped and to retain its shape The plastic properties of clay are principally determined by the size of the platelets The smaller the platelets the more plastic the clay is Aging or souring is also relevant to a clays plasticity; with time bacterial action creates a colloidal gel, which aids the lubrication of the platelets
That means the ability of a material for plastic changes of the shape without material separations
The capacity of the brain to change its structure and function within certain limits Plasticity underlies brain functions such as learning and allows the brain to generate normal, healthy responses to long-lasting environmental changes
Adaptation ability of neural circuits by connection or disconnection of parts of the circuit Ability of learning in neural circuits
Ability to be stimulated by new inputs and learn new mappings or modify existing ones
The property of a metal that enables it to deform non-elastically without rupture See Ductivity
the property of being physically malleable; the property of something that can be worked or hammered or shaped under pressure without breaking
Plastic force
The ability of cellular or tissue structures and their resultant function to be influenced by an ongoing activity
The ability of a soil to deform without cracking or breaking
{i} flexibility, pliability, pliancy, elasticity, malleability
Flexibility, modifiability, malleability, adaptability, teachability, etc
High Medium Low
the ability to be formed or molded; in reference to the brain, the ability to adapt to deficits and injury
the brain's ability to develop and change in response to the demands of the environment
Ability to be deformed permanently without rupture
Tendency of a material to remain deformed, after reduction of the deforming stress, to a value equal to or less than its yield strength
The characteristic property of moist clay that permits it to be deformed with out cracking and to retain its new shape when the deforming stress is removed Plasticity is associated with the sheet structure of the clay minerals and with the manner in which water films are held by the clay particles The clays that are very plastic are: ball clay, Jordan clay, china clay, and some kaolins Because of their high shrinkage these clays are not usually used alone
The ability of the brain, especially in our younger years to compensate for damage
The ability of a metal to be deformed extensively without rupture The capacity of a metal to deform non-elastically without rupturing
The tendency of a loaded body to assume a deformed state other than its original state when the load is removed
(1) A measure of the resistance to shear of an uncured elastomer; (2) a measurement of resistance to shear with heat history
of clay is the ability of the clay to maintain it's shape under the pressure of your hands during the forming process The first test for plasticity usually applied to a new clay is to roll out a soft wad of the clay into a shape the size of a lead pencil and then to coil it around one's finger If no cracks appear, it is good
the ability of the brain to change or adapt in response to experience
modifiability or "molding" of the brain through experience modifiability or "molding" of the brain through experience
a property of electronic information in that it can be easily reshaped, republished, reused because it is in a manipulable digital representation
the quality of being easily made into any shape, and of staying in that shape until someone changes it. Ability of certain solids to flow or to change shape permanently when subjected to stresses between those that produce temporary deformation, or elastic behaviour, and those that cause failure of the material, or rupture (see fracture). Plasticity allows a solid under the action of outside forces to become permanently deformed without rupturing; elasticity enables a solid to return to its original shape after the load is removed. Plastic deformation occurs in many metal-forming processes (rolling, pressing, forging, wire drawing) and in geologic processes (rock folding and rock flow within the Earth under extremely high pressures and at elevated temperatures)
genomic plasticity
The alterable nature of prokaryotic genomes that enables the fluid exchange of DNA from one microorganism to another and allows prokaryotes to adapt their genomes rapidly so they can survive changes in environmental conditions
phenotypic plasticity
The ability of an organism with a given genotype to change its phenotype in response to changes in the environment, including changes that occur during the adult life of the organism
brain plasticity
(Tıp, İlaç) Neuroplasticity (variously referred to as brain plasticity or cortical plasticity) refers to the changes that occur in the organization of the brain as a result of experience. A surprising consequence of neuroplasticity is that the brain activity associated with a given function can move to a different location as a consequence of normal experience or brain damage/recovery
cortical plasticity
(Tıp, İlaç) Neuroplasticity (variously referred to as brain plasticity or cortical plasticity) refers to the changes that occur in the organization of the brain as a result of experience. A surprising consequence of neuroplasticity is that the brain activity associated with a given function can move to a different location as a consequence of normal experience or brain damage/recovery
