Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comment les plantes poussent-elles ? Le nombre d’or est-il omniprésent dans leur architecture ? Leurs structures sont-elles fractales ? Ont-elles un langage ? Une grammaire ? Il y a du vrai dans ces questions, mais il faut aller plus loin. Il faut identifier, modéliser et simuler le rôle des organes d’une plante dans sa croissance et leur fonctionnement. La modélisation des plantes fait l’objet de recherches à l’interface de disciplines biologiques (botanique, agronomie, génétique, écophysiologie) des mathématiques appliquées et de l’informatique. Elle permet de créer les modèles de développement de l’architecture des plantes, mais aussi les modèles de production végétale, expression de la croissance des organes. Les auteurs de cet ouvrage nous exposent les fondements biologiques, mathématiques et informatiques qui permettent d’exprimer le fonctionnement des bourgeons, la production photosynthétique de la biomasse et sa répartition dans les organes d’une plante. La simulation de la croissance des plantes devient alors possible sous la forme de modèles dynamiques et sa représentation, sous la forme d’images de synthèse. Ces modèles autorisent de multiples applications. De nombreuses plantes sont présentées (herbacées, arbustes et arbres) ; leur modélisation a une visée pratique en agriculture, en gestion des ressources naturelles et de l’environnement et en représentation des paysages. Rédigé par des botanistes, des agronomes, des mathématiciens et des informaticiens, cet ouvrage collectif est le fruit de quarante années de recherches conduites par Philippe de Reffye et ses collègues, avec des collaborations scientifiques en France, en Hollande, en Chine et en Afrique. Il s’adresse aux chercheurs, enseignants et étudiants en biologie, en agronomie et en sciences de la vie, aux architectes paysagistes, écologues, qui s’intéressent à la croissance des plantes, à leur modélisation et à leur représentation. Il s’adresse aussi à toutes les communautés des sciences exactes (mathématiciens, informaticiens, physiciens) intéressées par la simulation du vivant.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La g om trie d'une plante est un objet complexe, combinant les g om tries de nombreux organes, d pendant de l' chelle consid r e et tr s variable dans le temps. Malgr cette complexit et cette plasticit , elle est devenue un enjeu de mod lisation majeur ces derni res ann es aussi bien en co-physiologie, qu'en synth se d'images. Dans cette tude, nous formalisons un mod le g om trique multi- chelles g n ral de repr sentation de l'architecture des plantes. Ce mod le int gre de mani re coh rente diff rentes repr sentations g om triques diff rents niveaux de d tails. Il permet ainsi d'adapter la complexit de la repr sentation au cours des calculs et d'en acqu rir une compr hension plus pr cise. Nous utilisons ce mod le dans une approche "montante" pour caract riser les formes globales mergentes de la structure d taill e d'une plante. Il est ensuite utilis dans une approche "descendante" pour le d veloppement d'un mod le de croissance des plantes fond sur un nouveau paradigme de simulation. Le principe de cette approche s'appuie sur une hi rarchisation en chelles des informations qui permet la manipulation interactive et intuitive de mod les complexes de plantes.

Download or read book A Field Guide to Tropical Plant Families written by Roland Keller and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-03-12 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an identification system permitting recognition of plant families in all seasons by means of morphological and macroanatomical features which are easily observable, such as bark, exudates, stems and leaves characters. Studies of forest vegetation may differ in their underlying objectives, but they all require taxonomic knowledge. The process of taxonomy begins with an inventory of the flora, which has been based to a large extent on reproduction-related organs, such as flowers and fruits. But, those are often difficult to observe and may not exist in the field at a given time. Unlike most such guides or keys, this book can be used anywhere in the tropics and provides, in a straightforward two or three-step process, identification to the level of families, which are now circumscribed according to molecular as well as morphological characters in the universally accepted scheme of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group. Plant architecture is not a prerequisite theme for plant identification; however, we think that an introduction to this subject is not out of place in this book (architectural traits are taxonomically sound): it is now time for botanists working in the tropics to have an idea on how the whole organism keeps growing. Within the family accounts, there is information concerning important economic plants with notes on the larger genera and, particularly helpfully, discussion of families readily confused and how to separate them. Descriptions of the families rely on short diagnosis bolstered by many photographic pictures, lines drawings and extracts from the author’s field books, all showing features of plants as they are found in the forest.

Download or read book The Architecture of the Science of Living Beings written by Andrea Falcon and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2024-06-06 with total page 495 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholars have paid ample attention to Aristotle's works on animals. By contrast, they have paid little or no attention to Theophrastus' writings on plants. That is unfortunate because there was a shared research project in the early Peripatos which amounted to a systematic, and theoretically motivated, study of perishable living beings (animals and plants). This is the first sustained attempt to explore how Aristotle and Theophrastus envisioned this study, with attention focused primarily on its deep structure. That entails giving full consideration to a few transitional passages where Aristotle and Theophrastus offer their own description of what they are trying to do. What emerges is a novel, sophisticated, and largely idiosyncratic approach to the topic of life. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Download or read book Architecture and the Historical Imagination written by Martin Bressani and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hailed as one of the key theoreticians of modernism, Eugène-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc was also the most renowned restoration architect of his age, a celebrated medieval archaeologist and a fervent champion of Gothic revivalism. He published some of the most influential texts in the history of modern architecture such as the Dictionnaire raisonné de l’architecture française du XIe au XVIe siècle and Entretiens sur l’architecture, but also studies on warfare, geology and racial history. Martin Bressani expertly traces Viollet-le-Duc’s complex intellectual development, mapping the attitudes he adopted toward the past, showing how restoration, in all its layered meaning, shaped his outlook. Through his life journey, we follow the route by which the technological subject was born out of nineteenth-century historicism.

Download or read book Tiny Taxonomy written by Rosetta S. Elkin and published by Actar D, Inc.. This book was released on 2017-09-25 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tiny Taxonomy offers a visually engaging collection of images and texts drawn from a series of contemporary garden installations, which highlight the role of individual plants in landscape architecture. Tiny Taxonomy showcases species that are in cultivation or in profusion, but rarely purposefully planted. A grouping of plants is categorized by common traits derived from an evolution towards feature miniaturization, generating another form of classification. Due to the diminutive size of their features, these plants are often over-looked and therefore tend to be under specified. It seems that as the world around us gains complexity and intricacy, our biological world is tending towards monotony. Tiny Taxonomy considers smallness a design opportunity, offering innumerable microcosmic considerations of the leaf form, flower structure, and physical habitat of individual plants.
