Stress landscape of folding brain serves as a map for axonal pathfinding by Akbar Solhtalab, Ali H. Foroughi, Lana Pierotich, Mir Jalil Razavi

“…Simulations incorporating axon bundle reorientation and stress-induced growth reveal potential mechanical mechanisms that lead to higher axon bundle density in gyri (ridges) compared to sulci (valleys). In particular, the connectivity patterning resulting from cortical folding exhibits a strong dependence on the growth rate and mechanical properties of the navigating axon bundles. …”

The concept of robusticity in (palaeo-) anthropology and its broad range of application: a short review by Tony Chevalier

“…For example, some authors evaluate bone hypertrophy/reinforcement from a biomechanical approach, and scaled variables based on body size or baseline load; other authors refer to crests, tori, ridges and rugosities. The disparately used term robusticity also includes criteria representing nothing more than bone size (i.e., non-scaled variables) and shape. …”

The influence of morphology and crystal orientation of spangles on hot-dip Zn-0.5Sn alloy coating by Zhai L., Peng H -P., Liu Y., Lei Y., Deng S., Su X.-P.

“…The crystal orientation of spangles affects their morphology, leading to the formation of feathery, ridged, and orthogonal dendrite arm spangles. When the angle among the <0001> orientation of the spangle crystal and the normal of the steel base surface changes from 0° to 90°, feathery spangles change to orthogonal dendrite arms spangles. …”
