Hoffmann's two‐toed sloth II: Muscle architectural properties in the thoracic limb of Choloepus (Pilosa: Xenarthra)

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Two‐toed sloths use their thoracic limbs for more frequent and greater suspensory support than three‐toed sloths and have muscle architectural properties consistent with stability of the pectoral girdle, enhanced flexor force/torque applied at the shoulder and elbow joints, and grip on the support as indicated by their myology. Abstract Two‐toed sloths

Frequency of arboreality is correlated with longer hand skeletons in Gorilla: Analysis of a new skeletal sample of Bwindi mountain gorillas

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Variation in arboreality across gorilla populations is associated with systematic differences in manual digital lengths. Using a new dataset of linear metrics from the Bwindi mountain gorillas, we quantify metacarpal and phalangeal lengths in eastern and western gorilla populations across all five rays. Consistent with quantified behavioral differences,

Analysis of temperature and pressure distribution in brake disc for regenerative braking

open access: yes
A brake which is designed to provide a limited proportion of the total braking force at normal decelerations may be able to brake the car at high decelerations but may suffer damage when used for emergency braking. A conventional braking system uses 100%

Driven by risk: Understanding reference‐dependent preferences using simulated auto racing

open access: yesJournal of Risk and Insurance, EarlyView.
Abstract Using data from over 56,000 simulated auto races worldwide, we analyze risk‐taking at the margins, consistent with reference‐dependent preferences. We show that participants' risk‐taking changes when a desired intermittent outcome is presented, sometimes at the expense of a more favorable expected end state.

Responsible Innovation Management in Profit‐Driven Firms: A Cross‐Cultural Analysis in Germany, India, and Japan

open access: yesJournal of Product Innovation Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Responsible innovation (RI) challenges profit‐driven firms to reconcile market pressures with societal and environmental responsibilities. We ask how firms integrate anticipation, reflexivity, inclusion, and responsiveness (ARIR) into responsible innovation management (RIM), and how national context and cultural dimensions shape the degree and
