Review of the anatomical basis for predicting plutonium alpha particle radiation induced osteogenic cancers

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Plutonium was discovered and first synthesized in the early 1940's. Several isotopes of plutonium are used in nuclear technologies, 238Pu for heat generation and 239Pu for energy production and weapons. Both isotopes emit alpha particles, which pose a significant radiation hazard when incorporated into the body.

Functional models from limited data: A parametric and multimodal approach to anatomy and 3D kinematics of feeding in basking sharks (Cetorhinus maximus)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Basking sharks, Cetorhinus maximus (Gunnerus, Brugden [Squalus maximus], Det Kongelige Norske Videnskabers Selskabs Skrifter, 1765, vol. 3, pp. 33–49), feed by gaping their mouths and gill slits, greatly reorienting their cranial skeletons to filter food from water.

Locating Traces of Arboreal Beings: Connecting the Tree and the Woodblock

open access: yesArchaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Woodblocks for printmaking are multi‐perspectival communicators inscribed with layered narratives. The artistic process of cutting excavates the surface of a woodblock, making visible lesser‐seen traces of the past, reflective of the practice of archaeology.

First Nations Aboriginal Ring Trees in New South Wales—Establishing a Cultural Context and Basic Archaeological Recording Typology

open access: yesArchaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines ring trees—a type of culturally modified tree, intentionally created by Australian First Nations Aboriginal peoples by manipulating tree growth to form permanent loops (rings) within the structure. Historically, this site type has been underrepresented and underappreciated by academics and archaeologists.

Understanding the Form and Timing of Damage to Archaeological Sites During the Syrian Conflict by Combining Evidence From Remote Sensing With Ground Observation

open access: yesArchaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Satellite remote sensing is used widely to monitor damage to archaeological sites in conflict areas, including in Syria. On‐the‐ground assessments have been fewer in number, and the degree to which remote sensing assessments reflect what is happening on the ground has not been extensively tested.

Moving to learn: Enhancing anatomy education through physical activity and video‐based instruction

open access: yesAnatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Multiple studies have demonstrated the linkage between sedentary lifestyles and adverse health outcomes, emphasizing the need to prioritize student movement and health as a part of the medical school curriculum. This qualitative study assessed the relationship between movement‐centered teaching and students' perceptions of learned content ...
