Size, Shape, Numbers and Composition of Fish Schools
AbstractData on the size and shape of fish schools, number, size, and species composition of individuals included in them have been considered. The...

Exploring Shape-Dependent Nanomatrix Immobilization Strategy for Develo** a PAMV Viral Electrochemical Immunosensor
Potato is the most predominant non-grain food crop across the world. Plant viruses have a considerable impact on potato yield, which is now a serious...

Experimental extraction of Young’s modulus of MCF-7 tissue using atomic force microscopy and the spherical contact models
The study of mechanical properties of tissues can be considered as biomarkers for early detection of cancer and help in new treatments. In this...

3D reconstruction from cryo-EM projection images using two spherical embeddings
Single-particle analysis (SPA) in cryo-electron microscopy has become a powerful tool for determining and studying the macromolecular structure at an...

Bacterial Cell Shape: Some Features of Ultrastructure, Evolution, and Ecology
AbstractThe bacterial cell shape and size are influenced by many selective forces. Therefore, on one hand, there is a wide morphological diversity of...

Centripetal nuclear shape fluctuations associate with chromatin condensation in early prophase
The nucleus plays a central role in several key cellular processes, including chromosome organisation, DNA replication and gene transcription. Recent...

The volume and shape of bitterling eggs are more strongly influenced by germ cell autonomy than by the surrounding somatic cells
There is great variation in the size and shape of teleost eggs from species to species. The size of the teleost egg depends on the amount of yolk...

Sorghum Yield Using Rectangular Versus Spherical zaï Pits and Integrated Soil Fertility Management in the Sahelian and Sudano-Sahelian Zones of Burkina Faso
Poor farming practices have contributed to the degradation of the majority of soils in Burkina Faso. This has led to the formation of bare soils and...

Composite branched and linear F-actin maximize myosin-induced membrane shape changes in a biomimetic cell model
The architecture of the actin cortex determines the generation and transmission of stresses, during key events from cell division to migration....

Shape-aware stochastic neighbor embedding for robust data visualisations
BackgroundThe t-distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (t-SNE) algorithm has emerged as one of the leading methods for visualising...

In paired preference tests, domestic chicks innately choose the colour green over red, and the shape of a frog over a sphere when both stimuli are green
Many animals express unlearned colour preferences that depend on the context in which signals are encountered. These colour biases may have evolved...

Hippocampus Shape Analysis via Skeletal Models and Kernel Smoothing
Skeletal representations (s-reps) have been successfully adopted to parsimoniously parametrize the shape of three-dimensional objects and have been...

Functional and ecomorphological evolution of orbit shape in mesozoic archosaurs is driven by body size and diet
The orbit is one of several skull openings in the archosauromorph skull. Intuitively, it could be assumed that orbit shape would closely approximate...

Evolutionary imbalance, climate and human history jointly shape the global biogeography of alien plants
Human activities are causing global biotic redistribution, translocating species and providing them with opportunities to establish populations...

Flower-like meristem conditions and spatial constraints shape architecture of floral pseudanthia in Apioideae
BackgroundPseudanthia are multiflowered units that resemble single flowers, frequently by association with pseudocorollas formed by enlarged...

Adapting spherical-harmonics-based geometric morphometrics (SPHARM) for 3D images containing large cavity openings using ambient occlusion: a study with hermit crab claw shape variability
One of the advantages of mesh-based geometric morphometrics (GM) over landmark-based approaches, is that it affords the possibility of the precise...

The shape of pleomorphic virions determines resistance to cell-entry pressure
Many enveloped animal viruses produce a variety of particle shapes, ranging from small spherical to long filamentous types. Characterization of how...

Physical characteristics of cherry (Prunus avium) varieties and shape analysis with the elliptic Fourier method
Knowing the physical properties of biological products is of great importance in terms of develo** harvesting technologies, innovating crop...

A robust approach to 3D neuron shape representation for quantification and classification
We consider the problem of finding an accurate representation of neuron shapes, extracting sub-cellular features, and classifying neurons based on...

The effects of incubation media on the assessment of the shape of human erythrocytes by flow cytometry: a contribution to mathematical data interpretation to enable wider application of the method
Flow cytometry (FC) analysis of erythrocyte shape and related biomechanical properties, such as osmotic fragility, have not moved from a research...
