Autophagy in cancer and protein conformational disorders
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Autophagy plays a crucial role in numerous biological processes, including protein and organelle quality control, development, immunity, and metabolism. Hence, dysregulation or mutations in autophagy‐related genes have been implicated in a wide range of human diseases.

Estimating the surface area of birds: using the homing pigeon (Columba livia) as a model
Biology Open, 2014 Estimation of the surface area of the avian body is valuable for thermoregulation and metabolism studies as well as for assessing exposure to oil and other surface-active organic pollutants from a spill.

New Orlicz Affine Isoperimetric Inequalities [PDF]
J. Math. Anal. Appl., 427 (2015) 905-929, 2014 The Orlicz-Brunn-Minkowski theory receives considerable attention recently, and many results in the $L_p$-Brunn-Minkowski theory have been extended to their Orlicz counterparts. The aim of this paper is to develop Orlicz $L_{\phi}$ affine and geominimal surface areas for single convex body as well as for multiple convex bodies, which generalize the ...

Sauropod necks: are they really for heat loss? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Three-dimensional digital models of 16 different sauropods were used to examine the scaling relationship between metabolism and surface areas of the whole body, the neck, and the tail in an attempt to see if the necks could have functioned as radiators ...

Morphological characterization of shocked porous material
, 2009 Morphological measures are introduced to probe the complex procedure of shock wave reaction on porous material. They characterize the geometry and topology of the pixelized map of a state variable like the temperature.
