Pelvic morphology and body size in relation to the preauricular sulcus: Evidence from medieval to modern Iberia

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The preauricular sulcus has long been debated as a pelvic feature variably attributed to obstetric stress, ligamentous traction, and broader biomechanical processes. To clarify its determinants, we analyzed 409 adult individuals from three archeological and one early modern skeletal collection from the Iberian Peninsula, integrating graded ...

Dental anomalies in Pleistocene African hippopotamuses from Olduvai Bed II

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Hippopotamuses are key palaeoenvironmental indicators in African Pleistocene ecosystems due to their ecological dependence on permanent water bodies and their frequent representation in the fossil record. This study examines dental anomalies in Hippopotamus cf. gorgops from several localities in Bed II of Olduvai Gorge (Tanzania), dated to ca.

Developmental morphology of claspers and clasper‐glands during maturation in Potamotrygon wallacei (Chondrichthyes: Potamotrygoninae)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The claspers are the copulatory organs in male elasmobranchs, responsible for directing the semen into the female cloaca (C). However, the microscopic morphology of the claspers remains poorly understood. This study describes the morphology of the claspers and clasper glands (CGs) of cururu stingray (Potamotrygon wallacei) at different ...

Shaped Wavelets for Curvilinear Structures for Ear Biometrics [PDF]

, 2010
One of the most recent trends in biometrics is recognition by ear ap-pearance in head profile images. Determining the region of interest which con-tains the ear is an important step in an ear biometric system. To this end, we propose a robust, simple and

Morphophysiological dynamics of the proximal post‐testicular ducts in Crotalus durissus Linnaeus, 1758 (Squamata: Viperidae)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The organization and function of reptilian excurrent ducts remain poorly characterized, particularly in Neotropical snakes. We provide the first integrative morphological, histochemical, immunohistochemical, and ultrastructural analysis of the proximal post‐testicular ducts of Crotalus durissus across reproductive stages.

Risk-based approach to school entry examinations in Germany – a validation study

BMC Pediatrics, 2019
Background In Germany, all preschoolers undergo a school entry examination (SEE). While most children are sufficiently served with standardized developmental tests only, for a small group of otherwise underserved children, the SEE should also include a ...

Securing Deep Learning Based Edge Finger Vein Biometrics With Binary Decision Diagram

IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics, 2019
With built-in artificial intelligence (AI), edge devices, e.g., smart cameras, can perform tasks like detecting and tracking individuals, which is referred to as edge biometrics.
