Key message Crown diameter of H. heptaphyllus and P. acerifolia stabilizes around 40 years, reaching 15 m and 13 m respectively, and models guide spacing planning and ecosystem service estimates in urban forests. Abstract The growth pattern of urban trees influences both planning of urban forest composition and estimating ecosystem services, with crown diameter (CD) being the most important variable. However, there is a lack o...

Purpose Residual stresses are intrinsic stresses present in arteries even in the absence of external loads or blood pressure. They originate during growth and remodeling and contribute to vascular mechanical equilibrium. Despite advances in computational methods, incorporating residual stresses into patient-specific vascular models remains challenging. Evidence regarding the influence of circumferential residual stresses on ph...

Cognitive decline is a major non-motor symptom in Parkinson’s disease (PD), often linked to brain atrophy. This study examines the relationship between cortical atrophy and age groups in predicting cognitive decline in PD over five years. 188 PD patients from the COPPADIS cohort were stratified by age: young (30–55 years, N = 47), middle-aged (56–65 years, N = 59), and older adults (66–75 years, N = 82). Baseline cortical volu...
