Pelvic Shape Variation in Domestic Rabbits: Influence of Sex, Breed and Reproductive Status [PDF]

Veterinary Medicine and Science
The present study investigates the influence of biological and functional factors—namely, sex, reproductive status, age and breed—on pelvic morphology in domestic rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) using two‐dimensional geometric morphometric methods.

The oxidation behavior of a ductile Hf0.5Nb0.5Ta0.5Ti1.5Zr refractory high-entropy alloy in pure oxygen condition at 500–900 °C

Journal of Materials Research and Technology, 2023
In this study, the oxidation behavior of Hf0.5Nb0.5Ta0.5Ti1.5Zr refractory high-entropy alloy (RHEA) was investigated at temperature range of 500–900 °C in pure oxygen condition, and the oxidation mechanism was systemically discussed.

Part-to-full shape matching of different human subjects

Heliyon, 2021
Shape matching is a fundamental operation in digital geometry processing and computer graphics. Challenges in shape matching include finding correspondences of partial shapes with deformations, as well as topological noise and ambiguities.

Functional constraints channel mandible shape ontogenies in rodents

Royal Society Open Science, 2022
In mammals, postnatal growth plays an essential role in the acquisition of the adult shape. During this period, the mandible undergoes many changing functional constraints, leading to spatialization of bone formation and remodelling to accommodate ...

Microscopic origin of shape coexistence in the N=90, Z=64 region

Physics Letters B, 2022
A microscopic explanation of the nature of shape coexistence in the N=90, Z=64 region is suggested, based on calculations of single particle energies through standard covariant density functional theory. It is suggested that shape coexistence in the N=90

Macrophages: shapes and functions

ChemTexts, 2022
AbstractMacrophages are cells of the innate immune system and represent an important component of the first-line defense against pathogens and tumor cells. Here, their diverse functions in inflammation and tumor defense are described, and the mechanisms, tools, and activation pathways and states applied are presented.

Association of quantitative radiomic shape features with functional outcome after surgery for primary sporadic dorsal spinal meningiomas

Frontiers in Surgery, 2023
ObjectiveSpinal meningiomas (SM) account for 25%–46% of all primary spinal tumors and show an excellent long-term disease control in case of complete resection. Therefore, the postoperative functional outcome is of high importance.

Automated morphological phenotyping using learned shape descriptors and functional maps: A novel approach to geometric morphometrics.

PLoS Computational Biology, 2023
The methods of geometric morphometrics are commonly used to quantify morphology in a broad range of biological sciences. The application of these methods to large datasets is constrained by manual landmark placement limiting the number of landmarks and ...
