Variations in the kinetics of growth remodeling. The rate change of growth and remodeling relative to the environmental changes was investigated via a time-dependent exponential evolution of the growth and remodeling parameters. The exponential behavior was governed by rate parameter k (kg for growth, kr for remodeling), where if k < 0 growth and remodeling initially occurred faster, and k > 0 initially occurred slower compared to the environmental changes.
