Morphodynamic Foundations of Sumer. [PDF]
PLoS OneEconomic mechanisms behind the emergence of ancient Sumer remain unavoidably speculative and should benefit from a better understanding of their environmental context. Abundance sustaining increased social complexity during the Uruk period (c. 6,000–5,200 y BP) has been traditionally ascribed to pastoralism, trade, and/or resource diversity.

Recovering the polyhedral geometry of fragmentsThe manuscript contains the link to the data [PDF]
MethodsXNot only is the geometry of rock fragments often well approximated by ideal convex polyhedra having few faces and vertices, but these numbers carry vital geophysical information on the fragmentation process.Despite their significance, the identification ...

Systematic analysis of cell morphodynamics in C. elegans early embryogenesis [PDF]
Frontiers in Bioinformatics, 2023 The invariant cell lineage of Caenorhabditis elegans allows unambiguous assignment of the identity for each cell, which offers a unique opportunity to study developmental dynamics such as the timing of cell division, dynamics of gene expression, and cell

Shape, membrane morphology, and morphodynamic response of metabolically active human mitochondria revealed by scanning ion conductance microscopy [PDF]
Beilstein Journal of NanotechnologyMitochondrial network dynamics play a key role in enabling cells to adapt to environmental changes. Fusion and fission of mitochondria, as well as their contact with other organelles, are central processes.

Development of the morphodynamics on Little Ice Age lateral moraines in 10 glacier forefields of the Eastern Alps since the 1950s [PDF]
Earth Surface Dynamics, 2023 Since the end of the Little Ice Age (LIA) in the middle of the 19th century, Alpine glaciers have been subject to severe recession that is enhanced by the recent global warming.

A nonstationary analysis for investigating the multiscale variability of extreme surges: case of the English Channel coasts [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2020 This research examines the nonstationary dynamics of extreme surges along the English Channel coasts and seeks to make their connection to the climate patterns at different timescales by the use of a detailed spectral analysis in order to gain insights ...

Four-Year Temporal Study of an Intertidal Artificial Structure in the English Channel
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 An experimental artificial structure was deployed in March 2014 on the intertidal zone of the Bay of Seine (eastern part of the English Channel), at intervals of one year until April 2018, i.e., from February 2015 onwards, two blocks were collected in ...

A Minimalist Model of Salt-Marsh Vegetation Dynamics Driven by Species Competition and Dispersal
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 We present a new bidimensional, spatially-explicit ecological model describing the dynamics of halophytic vegetation in tidal saline wetlands. Existing vegetation models employ relatively simple deterministic or stochastic mechanisms, and are driven by ...
