Improved Assessment of Globularity of Protein Structures and the Ellipsoid Profile of the Biological Assemblies from the PDB [PDF]
Biomolecules, 2023 In this paper, we present an update to the ellipsoid profile algorithm (EP), a simple technique for the measurement of the globularity of protein structures without the calculation of molecular surfaces.

Globularity and language-readiness: generating new predictions by expanding the set of genes of interest [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2014 This study builds on the hypothesis put forth in Boeckx and Benitez-Burraco (2014), according to which the developmental changes expressed at the levels of brain morphology and neural connectivity that resulted in a more globular braincase in our species

The shape of the language-ready brain [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2014 Our core hypothesis is that the emergence of our species-specific language-ready brain ought to be understood in light of the developmental changes expressed at the levels of brain morphology and neural connectivity that occurred in our species after the

How round is a protein? Exploring protein structures for globularity using conformal mapping. [PDF]
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2014 We present a new algorithm that automatically computes a measure of the geometric difference between the surface of a protein and a round sphere. The algorithm takes as input two triangulated genus zero surfaces representing the protein and the round ...

Crystals, 2021 A computer algorithm for assessment of globularity of protein structures is presented. By enclosing the input protein in a minimum volume ellipsoid (MVEE) and calculating a profile measuring how voxelized space within this shape (cubes on a uniform grid)

Changes in infant head shape: Developmental trends during the first year of life and secular changes observed in recent years. [PDF]
PLoS ONEThe cephalic index (CI), defined as the percentage of head width to length, has been used in multiple studies. However, CI only provides 2D information, and comprehensive methods to assess the 3D cranial shape are yet to be established.

No Country for Oldowan Men: Emerging Factors in Language Evolution
Frontiers in Psychology, 2019 Language evolution has long been researched. I will review a number of broad, emerging research directions which arguably have the potential to contribute to our understanding of language evolution.

Like father, like son: assessment of the morphological affinities of A.L. 288-1 (A. afarensis), Sts 7 (A. africanus) and Omo 119-73-2718 (Australopithecus sp.) through a three-dimensional shape analysis of the shoulder joint. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The postcranial evidence for the Australopithecus genus indicates that australopiths were able bipeds; however, the morphology of the forelimbs and particularly that of the shoulder girdle suggests that they were partially adapted to an arboreal ...

Brain asymmetry in the white matter making and globularity
Frontiers in Psychology, 2015 Recent studies from the field of language genetics and evolutionary anthropology have put forward the hypothesis that the emergence of our species-specific brain is to be understood not in terms of size, but in light of developmental changes that gave ...
