Neonatal Brain Tissue Classification with Morphological Adaptation and Unified Segmentation [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroinformatics, 2016 Measuring the distribution of brain tissue types (tissue classification) in neonates is necessary for studying typical and atypical brain development, such as that associated with preterm birth, and may provide biomarkers for neurodevelopmental outcomes.

Wetting mechanism and morphological adaptation; leaf rolling enhancing atmospheric water acquisition in wheat crop-a review. [PDF]
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int, 2022 Several plant species such as grasses are dominant in many habitats including arid and semi-arid areas. These species survive in these regions by developing exclusive structures, which helps in the collection of atmospheric water.

Morphological adaptation of adjectival borrowings in modern Lithuanian
Baltistica, 2017 This paper discusses morphological adaptation of borrowed adjectives in modern Lithuanian. Five types of adaptation are identified: zero adaptation, assignment to inflection class (IC), addition of the derivational suffix, substitution of the ...

Is Genetic Differentiation Involved in the Morphological Adaptation of Adenophora triphylla var. japonica (Camanulaceae) to Water Flow Stress Along Rivers? [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionPlants along rivers have narrow lanceolate leaves, flexible stems, and petioles to avoid the water flow stress caused by flooding. This study aimed to determine whether the adaptation of Adenophora triphylla (Thunb.) A.DC. var. japonica (Regel) H.

Caspase-6 Is a Non-Apoptotic Effector of Shear-Induced Morphological Adaptation in Pulmonary Artery Endothelial Cells In Vitro [PDF]
CellsCaspases are known for their roles in cell death and inflammation. However, emerging evidence suggests they also mediate non-lethal processes, governed by a finely tuned balance of localization, activity, kinetics, and substrate availability.
