This study provides the first isotopic analysis of Oligocene mammals from Quebrada Fiera, Mendoza, Argentina, filling a major gap in South American paleontology. It reveals a latitudinal gradient in aridity due to the Andean rain shadow and highlights the role of (semi)permanent water bodies in sustaining diverse herbivore communities. Additionally, it

Bonding with Self-Etching Primers - Pumice or Pre-Etch? An In Vitro Study [PDF]
The objective of this study was to compare the shear bond strengths (SBS) of orthodontic brackets bonded with self-etching primer using different enamel surface preparations. A 2-by-2 factorial study design was used. Sixty human premolars were harvested,

Exploring dietary adaptations in Ursus minimus: a 3D geometric morphometric analysis of the mandible
Using 3D geometric morphometrics, the dietary adaptations of the extinct Auvergne bear (Ursus minimus) are analysed. Its mandibular morphology aligns more closely with omnivorous rather than insectivorous bears, challenging current ideas. The extinct bear Ursus minimus, which lived in Europe during the Pliocene and possibly Early Pleistocene, is ...

Bears deviate from the inhibitory cascade model (ICM) during molar size evolution, with two significant deviations linked to changes in diet: Ursus minimus and Ursus deningeri. Many bears exhibit a ‘partial ICM’, highlighting the relationship between relative molar size, dietary adaptations and dental development across different species.

Homo luzonensis and the role of homoplasy in the morphology of hominin insular species
Abstract Homo luzonensis lived during the upper Pleistocene in the northern Philippines, east of the Wallace line. The few specimens attributed to this species show a mosaic of plesiomorphies for the genus Homo and apomorphies found in upper Pleistocene Homo species.

Kdf1 Regulates Molar Cusp Morphogenesis via the PI3K/AKT/mTOR Signalling Axis
Epithelial Kdf1 knockout disrupts molar cusp morphogenesis by promoting inner enamel epithelium proliferation and invagination via PI3K/AKT/mTOR signalling. ABSTRACT Keratinocyte differentiation factor 1 (Kdf1) reportedly plays a significant role in enamel formation.

Britain, industry and perceptions of China : Matthew Boulton, 'useful knowledge' and the Macartney Embassy to China 1792–94 [PDF]
Global history has debated the emergence of a divergence in economic growth between China and the West during the eighteenth century. The Macartney Embassy, 1792–94, the first British embassy to China, occurring as it did at the end of the eighteenth ...
