The Better to Eat You With: Bite Force in the Naked Mole-Rat (Heterocephalus glaber) Is Stronger Than Predicted Based on Body Size [PDF]
Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2019 Naked mole-rats (Heterocephalus glaber) are subterranean rodents that utilize their incisors for feeding, chisel-tooth digging of complex tunnel systems, social interactions, and defense in their eusocial colony structure.

The Physical Role of Gravitational and Gauge Degrees of Freedom in General Relativity - I: Dynamical Synchronization and Generalized Inertial Effects [PDF]
, 2004 This is the first of a couple of papers in which, by exploiting the capabilities of the Hamiltonian approach to general relativity, we get a number of technical achievements that are instrumental both for a disclosure of \emph{new} results concerning ...

Feedforward and feedback control in apraxia of speech: effects of noise masking on vowel production [PDF]
, 2015 PURPOSE: This study was designed to test two hypotheses about apraxia of speech (AOS) derived from the Directions Into Velocities of Articulators (DIVA) model (Guenther et al., 2006): the feedforward system deficit hypothesis and the feedback system ...

Lack of correlation between mouth-breathing and bite force [PDF]
, 2017 The correlation between mouth-breathing and bite force was studied in 81 children, 7 to 16 years old. Mouth-breathing was diagnosed on the basis of the subject history, the rhinomanometrically determined nasal airflow and the size of the airway measured ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract A subadult Moschognathus whaitsi from the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa, was scanned using synchrotron radiation X‐ray computed tomography (SRXCT). Its subadult state allowed the cranial bones and teeth to be identified and individually reconstructed in 3D.

Postulations for the Migration Behavior of Amino Acids as Cations in Capillary Zone Electrophoresis
ELECTROPHORESIS, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Amino acids (AAs) in their cationic form at pH 2.2 and usual ionic strength show a non‐intuitive migration order in CZE. This is explained by setting up four postulates. The central points in these postulates are the influence of the AA side chain on the pKa${\rm p}K_{\rm a}$ value and the adoption of a defined, preferred conformation to build
