Quantitative assessment of masticatory muscles based on skull muscle attachment areas in Carnivora

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Masticatory muscles are composed of the temporalis, masseter, and pterygoid muscles in mammals. Each muscle has a different origin on the skull and insertion on the mandible; thus, all masticatory muscles contract in different directions. Collecting in vivo data and directly measuring the masticatory muscles anatomically in various Carnivora ...

Development of Exponentiated Cosine Topp-Leone Generalized Family of Distributions and its Applications to Lifetime Data

UMYU Scientifica Journal
The Topp-Leone distribution is widely used for modeling lifetime data across many disciplines. This paper presents the Exponentiated Cosine Topp-Leone Generalized family (ExCTLG), which is an extension of the Topp-Leone family. The research examines the

Quantitative muscle architecture in large carnivorous marsupials (Marsupialia: Dasyuridae) and links to substrate use and prey processing

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Dasyurid species Sarcophilus harrisii, Dasyurus maculatus, and Dasyurus viverrinus, occupying diverse ecological niches and forming a guild structure in Tasmania, provide a basis for examining the roles of various forelimb muscle groups in prey capture and locomotion.

Performance Evaluation of Raised-Cosine Wavelet for Multicarrier Applications

, 2014
YesWavelets are alternative building kernels of the multicarrier systems, such as the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). The wavelets can be designed by changing the parent basis functions or constructing new filters.

Clock Genes Regulate Ca2+ Signaling and Mitochondrial Bioenergetics to Inhibit Sjögren Disease

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Although Ca2+ signaling and metabolism have been identified as key determinants for the development of Sjögren disease (SjD), the intricate connection between them and salivary gland physiology remains poorly understood. Methods Fluorescence‐based Ca2+ imaging, RNA sequencing, and mitochondrial activity were used to investigate the effects of

Periodicity of mild solutions to higher order differential equations in Banach spaces

Electronic Journal of Differential Equations, 2004
We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the periodicity of mild solutions to the the higher order differential equation $u^{(n)}(t)=Au(t)+f(t)$, $0le t le T$, in a Banach space $E$.

Corporate ESG Greenwashing: Does Regulatory Proximity Matter?

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) greenwashing undermines sustainable development, yet the influence of regulatory proximity on oversight is understudied. By introducing the “distance decay effect” from geoeconomics into ESG misconduct research and using a sample of Chinese listed firms from 2009 to 2022, this study reveals a ...

Reporting What Matters, or Reporting What Looks Good? Materiality and Balance in Post–Rana Plaza Apparel Sustainability Disclosure

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainability reports (SRs) are widely criticized for vague disclosures and selective emphasis on positive outcomes, yet systematic research on two core SR challenges remains limited: materiality (whether disclosed content is relevant) and balance (whether both achievements and challenges are reported).
