Multi‐method analysis for the three‐dimensional reconstruction of muscle fascicles from DiceCT datasets

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Muscle architecture is a major determinant of muscle performance and, in mammalian lineages, has been correlated with both feeding ecology and locomotor behaviors. Over the past decade, contrast‐enhanced micro‐CT (DiceCT) has emerged as an alternative to traditional dissection‐based measurement.

Twin pregnancies and the limits of the energetics of gestation and growth hypothesis

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The “Energetics of Gestation and Growth” (EGG) hypothesis proposes that human birth timing and the associated secondary altriciality of human newborns is determined by limits in maternal metabolic capacity. According to this model, labor is triggered when the increasing fetal energy requirements exceed the expectant mother's maximum sustained ...

Extensions of Ehrenfest's urn designs for comparing two treatments [PDF]

, 2004
In this paper we discuss sequential urn designs for comparing two treatments. The Ehrenfest urn design suggested by Chen is shown to be a special case of the Adjustable Biased Coin Design proposed by Baldi Antognini and Giovagnoli.

Form flows function: Learner‐centered game Re‐design in a STEM classroom

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Re‐designing games facilitates interest‐driven learning and immerses learners in systems thinking. However, there are limited studies exploring how the form and function of tabletop games influence learners' design decisions and learning experiences. To address this gap, we conducted a mixed‐methods study in a STEM classroom in western Canada.

Beyond standardisation, subjects and syllabi: How primary schools organise for arts richness in an era of curriculum reform

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract As England embarks on its first comprehensive curriculum review in fifteen years, this paper offers critical insights from schools that sustained arts‐rich provision despite a policy landscape hostile to creative subjects. Drawing on data from the Researching Arts‐rich Primary Schools (RAPS) project—a mixed‐methods study of 76 arts‐rich ...

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Organising for Circularity: An Empirical Analysis of Project Organising and the Development of Circular Economy Firm Capabilities

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Firms pursue the circular economy (CE) by using projects as organisational forms. However, the transformative role of project organising (PO) in developing circular firm capabilities (FC) remains underexplored. In this study, we examine the effects of PO on the development of critical circular FC in CE‐based firms. We draw on primary data from

Back to Nature or Technology to the Rescue? Climate Managers' Preferences for Investment in Carbon Dioxide Removal

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Firms are increasingly looking into carbon dioxide removal (CDR), a set of options to take past emissions of greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere. Often two basic categories of CDR are distinguished: nature‐based solutions, such as planting trees or restoring wetlands, and technology‐based solutions, such as various forms of carbon capture ...
