The total deformation of soils consists of three parts: elastic strain, plastic strain related to volumetric yielding mechanism and plastic strain related to shear yielding mechanism.

Unfortunately, this ancient strain of yeast didn't have commercial applications that Ambergene could exploit. And none of Cano's other discoveries were yielding biomedical breakthroughs, either.

Not all materials produce stress-strain diagrams on which there is a clear indication of the start of yielding as the load is increased.
