A Functional Shape Framework for the Detection of Multiple Sclerosis Using Optical Coherence Tomography Images [PDF]
SensorsMultiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory and neurodegenerative disease. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging technique of the retina. The thickness of the ganglion cell–inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) obtained from an OCT image is

Theoretical morphospace reveals mixed optimisation of the avian wing planform for flight style [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsBird wings exhibit a broad degree of functional and shape variation, though the exact nature of the form-function relationship is uncertain. Recent analysis suggests that functional variability is explained by linear non-shape-based traits and that shape

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.

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
