Morpho‐functional analyses of the jaw apparatus in the Blue‐and‐yellow Macaw (Ara ararauna, Psittaciformes, Aves): Adaptations to feeding behavior

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Macaws are renowned for processing dry, mechanically resistant fruits, yet the species‐level anatomical and functional correlates of this performance remain incompletely resolved. We examined the feeding apparatus of the Blue‐and‐yellow Macaw (Ara ararauna) using an integrated approach that combines osteology, myology, and bite‐force estimates

Distributed Amplify-and-Forward cooperation while maintaining transmission freedom

This paper proposes a novel Distributed Amplify-and-Forward (DAF) cooperative scheme, achieving higher diversity order and yet maintaining the same transmission freedom as the conventional Amplify-and-Forward (AF) scheme.

Statistical Characterization of the Delay and Performance Analysis in 3-D Relay Networks

IEEE Open Journal of the Communications Society
This article investigates a multi-tier 3D network that models a hybrid space-air-ground communication system and two main relay scenarios. In the first scenario, the aerial tier, consisting of entities such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) or aircrafts,

Integrated microanatomy and microstructure of the maxillary tooth plate reveal a reinforced feeding system and tougher diet in Late Triassic Hyperodapedontinae (Rhynchosauria, Archosauromorpha)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Hyperodapedontine rhynchosaurs possessed a unique oral apparatus, long interpreted as an adaptation for processing abrasive and resistant plant material. However, the microanatomical and histological evidence supporting this interpretation remains poorly documented.

Optimum Time Resource Allocation for TDMA-Based Differential Decode-and-Forward Cooperative Systems: A Capacity Perspective

It is widely recognized that differential decode-and-forward (DDF) cooperative transmission schemes are capable of achieving a cooperative diversity gain, while circumventing the potentially excessive-complexity and yet inaccurate channel estimation ...

Effect of Cyclic Heat Exposure on the Growth Performance and Metabolism of Broilers Fed Palm Kernel Meal

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
The aim of our study is to evaluate the interaction between HS and the incorporation of PKM in broiler chicken diets, as well as its effect on growth performance and metabolism. Based on the results obtained, PKM supplementation failed to mitigate the adverse effects of heat stress in broiler chickens. ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the

Optimised Internet of Thing framework based hybrid meta‐heuristic algorithms for E‐healthcare monitoring

IET Networks, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Everything can be connected in the Internet of Things (IoTs) technology that enables efficient communication between connected objects. IoTs industry‐based meta‐heuristic and mining algorithms, which are considered an important field of Artificial Intelligence will be used to construct a healthcare application in this study for lowering costs,

A Decision‐Making Model for Implementing Green Technology in Sustainable Building Projects

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Green technology (GT) adoption is pivotal for reconciling environmental stewardship with economic viability in the built environment, particularly in resource‐constrained emerging economies. However, empirical evidence on how specific GT drivers actively mitigate adoption barriers remains scarce.

ESG Decoupling Phenomenon: A Systematic and Bibliometric Analysis

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT ESG decoupling, defined as the gap between a firm's ESG disclosures and its actual practices, poses a critical challenge to corporate sustainability. Using the PRISMA protocol, 451 articles were selected for a comprehensive bibliometric and systematic literature review to map the intellectual structure and thematic evolution of the research on
