چکیده

Leaf vascular patterns are the mechanisms and mechanical support for the transportation of fluidics for photosynthesis and leaf development properties. Vascular hierarchical networks in leaves have far-reaching functions in optimal transport efficiency of functional fluidics. Embedding leaf morphogenesis as a resistor network is significant in the optimization of a translucent thermally functional material. This will enable regulation through pressure equalization by diminishing flow pressure variation. This paper investigates nature's vasculature networks that exhibit hierarchical branching scaling applied to microfluidics. To enable optimum potential for pressure drop regulation by algorithm design. This code analysis of circuit conduit optimization for transport fluidic flow resistance is validated against CFD simulation, within a closed loop network. The paper will propose this self-optimization, characterization by resistance seeking targeting to determine a microfluidic network as a resistor. To advance a thermally function material as a switchable IR absorber.

Detection of Unhealthy Region of plant leaves using Neural Network

A leaf is an organ of vascular plant and is the principal lateral appendage of the stem. Each leaf has a set of features that differentiate it from the other leaves, such as margin and shape. This work proposes a comparison of supervised plant leaves classification using different approaches, based on different representations of these leaves, and the chosen algorithm. Beginning with the repres...

Numerical Modeling of an Innovative Bipolar Plate Design Based on the Leaf Venation Patterns for PEM Fuel Cells

Flow channel design on bipolar plates has a direct effect on Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell performance. It has been found out that the flow field design has a deterministic role on the mass transport and water management, and therefore on the achieved power in PEM Fuel cells. This study concentrates on improvements in the fuel cell performance through optimization of channel dimensio...

Reinvestigation of Leaf Rank, an Underappreciated Component of Leo Hickey’s Legacy

The widespread recognition of the scientific importance of leaf architecture, the description and interpretation of leaf shape and venation, is a cornerstone contribution of Leo Hickey’s career. One leaf architectural trait that Hickey developed is leaf rank, which describes the level of organization of leaf venation in a single, discrete, ordinal variable. He used this scoring system to provid...

Leaf palmate venation and vascular redundancy confer tolerance of hydraulic disruption.

Leaf venation is a showcase of plant diversity, ranging from the grid-like network in grasses, to a wide variety of dendritic systems in other angiosperms. A principal function of the venation is to deliver water; however, a hydraulic significance has never been demonstrated for contrasting major venation architectures, including the most basic dichotomy, "pinnate" and "palmate" systems. We hyp...
