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.

Speed‐Dependent Visual‐Motor Tracking Differences in Children With Autism Relate to Core Symptoms
Annals of the Child Neurology Society, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often experience challenges integrating visual information to guide motor behavior, particularly in dynamic (speeded) contexts. We investigated the effects of varying stimulus tracking speed on visual‐motor integration (VMI), addressing our hypothesis that ASD diagnosis and

Isoperimetric inequalities on slabs with applications to cubes and Gaussian slabs
Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, EarlyView.Abstract We study isoperimetric inequalities on “slabs”, namely weighted Riemannian manifolds obtained as the product of the uniform measure on a finite length interval with a codimension‐one base. As our two main applications, we consider the case when the base is the flat torus R2/2Z2$\mathbb {R}^2 / 2 \mathbb {Z}^2$ and the standard Gaussian measure
