Implications of diet for the extinction of saber-toothed cats and American lions. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The saber-toothed cat, Smilodon fatalis, and American lion, Panthera atrox, were among the largest terrestrial carnivores that lived during the Pleistocene, going extinct along with other megafauna ∼12,000 years ago.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Dental wear analyses are classically applied to mammals because they have evolved heterodont dentitions for sophisticated mastication. Recently, several studies have shown a correlation between pre-assigned and analytically inferred diet preferences in ...

Dietary ecology of the extinct cave bear: Evidence of omnivory as inferred from dental microwear textures [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2016 The diet of the extinct European cave bear, Ursus spelaeus, has widely been debated. Diverging from the extant brown bear (Ursus arctos) approximately 1.2 million years ago, the cave bear is one of the most ubiquitous fossil bears occurring in Europe ...

DMTA studies of polymer blends and compatibility
Polymer Testing, 1988 Abstract Some aspects of the testing of polymer blends by Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis (DMTA) are reported. Compatibility of the blend components, which has a major influence on physical properties, can be well characterised. Data are presented for various types of blends, both compatible and incompatible.

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Peptide‐to‐Small Molecule Paradigm: Peptidomimetics have evolved from simple mimicry toward drug‐like scaffolds supported by increasing clinical successes. This Perspective highlights the geometric design principles—linear repetition, convergent fusion, and cyclization—defining the next‐generation peptidomimetic architectures capable of targeting ...

Dynamic Mechanical Freezing Points of Cosmetic O/W Emulsions and Their Stability at Low Temperatures
Applied Rheology, 2000 To develop cosmetic products quickly and effectively, developers need reliable test methods for evaluating product stability. Phenomena that determine the stability of cosmetic emulsions include phase transitions taking place in the relevant application ...

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Spontaneously aligned, long‐range hexagonal columnar ordering is obtained in phase‐separated dynamic covalent networks by combining discrete siloxanes and dynamic acylsemicarbazide bonds. The ordered network shows improved (thermo)mechanical properties and creep resistance compared to the disordered network.
