A cantilever in a traditionally timber framed building is called a jetty or forebay. In the southern United States, a historic barn type is the cantilever barn of log construction. Temporary cantilevers are often used in construction. The partially constructed structure creates a cantilever, but the completed structure does not act as a cantilever.
Cantilever beam (left supported) A horizontal cantilever beam with an attachment pad and a well is used to measure cell traction forces as cells are seeded onto substrates and crawl over the cantilevers. These cantilevers are set to measure force through cantilever deflection, stiffness, and stress gradient. [15]
Cantilever sensing can detect surface stresses with the attachment of micromechanical beams on one end of the cell. [20] Bioreactors allow the measurement of multicellular forces in a three-dimensional system, while external forces are applied at the same time. This enables better results and more accurate data from complex experiments. [12]
This results in bending of the cantilever that is measurable either optically (laser reflection into a four-position detector) or electrically (piezo-resistor at the fixed edge of the cantilever) due to a change in surface stress. [11] In mass sensing, the cantilever vibrates at its resonant frequency as measured electrically or optically. [11]
Canopy structure is the organization or spatial arrangement (three-dimensional geometry) of a plant canopy. Leaf area index, leaf area per unit ground area, is a key measure used to understand and compare plant canopies. The canopy is taller than the understory layer. The canopy holds 90% of the animals in the rainforest.
Light micrograph of a moss's leaf cells at 400X magnification. The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to cell biology: . Cell biology – A branch of biology that includes study of cells regarding their physiological properties, structure, and function; the organelles they contain; interactions with their environment; and their life cycle, division, and death.

A cantilever bridge is a bridge built using structures that project horizontally into space, supported on only one end (called cantilevers).For small footbridges, the cantilevers may be simple beams; however, large cantilever bridges designed to handle road or rail traffic use trusses built from structural steel, or box girders built from prestressed concrete.
