We analyze the morphological evolution of open clusters and provide shape parameters for 265 clusters. The results show that overall sample becomes more elliptical as they grow older, while their core remains circular or slightly trend to circularize. There is a negative correlation ellipticities with number members A significant between masses also detected log(age/year) $\geq$ 8, suggesting s...

Corrosion morphology is a key factor that influences the reliability and service life of structure. As most structures under stress corrosion, there great need to understand effect on formation conditions different morphologies. This paper introduces numerical method simulate evolution surface The results indicate corroded will become rougher sharper with an increase in stress, as consequence, ...

BACKGROUND Acquisition of bipedality is a hallmark of human evolution. How bipedality evolved from great ape-like locomotor behaviors, however, is still highly debated. This is mainly because it is difficult to infer locomotor function, and even more so locomotor kinematics, from fossil hominin long bones. Structure-function relationships are complex, as long bone morphology reflects phyletic h...

The coastal zone is a complex environment in which a variety of forcing factors interact causing shoreline evolution. Coastal managers seek to predict coastal evolution and to identify regions vulnerable to erosion. Here, a Bayesian network is developed to identify the primary factors influencing decadal-scale shoreline evolution of European coasts and to reproduce the observed evolution trends...
