Egg-related research promises unique opportunities for food science and technology. There
is an urgent need to develop non-destructive methodologies for defining key egg …

Bird eggs can be spherical, ellipsoid, ovoid, or pear‐shaped (pyriform), the latter being the
most complex. There is however no unambiguous evolutionary/adaptive explanation for this …

Developing a geometric formulation of any biological object has a number of justifications
and applications. Recently, we developed a universal geometric figure for describing a bird's …

ABSTRACT A 2-dimensional (2D) egg-shape equation can be used to construct a 3D egg
geometry based on the hypothesis that an egg is a solid of revolution, which helps to …

The chicken egg, a major food product, has been, as a model oviform object, the focus of
advanced description in mathematical terms, and such a description has practical …

Mathematical characterisation of an egg shape implies, among other things, the possibility of
its description with simple and accurate formulae. Of mathematical models delineating …

Describing the properties of table eggs requires the development of methods enabling to
look inside the egg without destroying it, suggesting a thorough theoretical study including …

When we wish to describe our Universe, our planet Earth, natural environment, and our
surroundings, artists often use imagery, whereas scientists attempt to use mathematical …
