Summary. We analyse the shapes of star‐shaped objects which are prealigned. This is motivated from two examples studying the growth of leaves, and the temporal evolution of tree rings. In the latter case measurements were taken at fixed angles whereas in the former case the angles were free. Subsequently, this leads to different shape spaces, related to different concepts of size, for the analysis...
A new method for measuring annual growth rings in cork has been developed. It is based on the fact that excitation of Quercus suber L. cork cross-sectional planes with UV light and also with blue light results in enhanced autofluorescence at the growth ring borders. This distinct autofluorescence band is located in the cork produced at the end of the vegetation period, with its smaller cells and thicker...
