Helmeted hornbill cranial kinesis: Balancing mobility and stability in a high‐impact joint

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Prokinesis—in which a craniofacial joint allows the rostrum to move relative to the braincase—is thought to confer diverse advantages in birds, mostly for feeding. A craniofacial joint would, however, be a weak link if cranial stability is important. Paradoxically, we have identified a craniofacial joint in helmeted hornbills (Rhinoplax vigil),

Numerical investigation on effect of different projectile nose shapes on ballistic impact of additively manufactured AlSi10Mg alloy

Frontiers in Materials
In the last few years, due to the superior mechanical qualities of Additive Manufacturing (AM) AlSi10Mg alloy to those of traditional casting process AlSi10Mg alloys, the application of AM technology has significantly increased.

Ballistic versus diffusive magnetoresistance of a magnetic point contact

, 2002
The quasiclassical theory of a nanosize point contacts (PC) between two ferromagnets is developed. The maximum available magnetoresistance values in PC are calculated for ballistic versus diffusive transport through the area of a contact.

Reduced Hand Specialization and Idiosyncratic Visuomotor Strategies in Autism During Naturalistic Object Manipulation

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autistic individuals exhibit altered perceptual and visuomotor behaviors, potentially due to reduced cortical specialization. The current study focuses on handedness, a robust marker of cerebral specialization, which is less right‐biased in autism.

Directed electron transport through ballistic quantum dot under microwave radiation

, 2005
Rectification of microwave radiation by asymmetric, ballistic quantum dot is observed. The directed transport is studied at different frequency (1-40 GHz) temperatures (0.3K-6K)and magnetic field.

Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Ballistic quantum state transfer in spin chains: general theory for quasi-free models and arbitrary initial states

, 2013
Ballistic quantum-information transfer through spin chains is based on the idea of making the spin dynamics ruled by collective excitations with linear dispersion relation.

Maximizing Neurovascular Outcomes of Facial Transplantation: A Comprehensive Review

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Facial transplantation is a division of reconstructive surgery which aims to improve the function and appearance of a face that has endured severe disfigurement. Currently, the face transplant procedure uses allogenic tissue, harvested from a brain‐dead donor, to replace damaged facial components.

Effect of ballistic exercise program on shoulder dynamic stability, throwing performance and shoulder strength among university level female cricket bowlers

Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University Journal
Background: Bowling in cricket is a ballistic movement requiring rapid force generation. The Thrower's Ten and Ballistic Six programs are widely used for overhead athletes to enhance shoulder performance. Unlike general ballistic exercises, the Ballistic
