Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.Black‐tailed prairie dogs are highly social ground squirrels that excavate communal burrow systems, most often in medium‐textured soils. Their forelimbs demonstrate morphofunctional trade‐offs for scratch‐digging and terrestrial ecology, including well‐developed and fast‐contracting proximal musculature with large mechanical advantage paired with ...

Deformable Tip Mount for Soft Growing Eversion Robots
Here we present a flexible tip mount for eversion (vine) robots. This soft cap allows attaching a payload to an eversion robot while allowing moving through narrow openings, as well as the eversion of protruding objects, and expanded ...

Growing together: Developmental integration and modularity in the human talus–calcaneus complex
Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.This study investigates morphological integration and trabecular bone development in the human talus–calcaneus complex during postnatal ontogeny. The two bones exhibit strong integration throughout development, with differing bone volume fraction trajectories presumably reflecting their distinct functional roles during bipedal gait acquisition ...

Eversion of the foot at touchdown
, 2010 Because inversion traumatisms constitute e.g. the most frequent sport traumatisms, while at the same time foot eversion is considered as being typical for human plantigrade walking, it may be interesting to analyse walking strategies in non-cursorial ...

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.This systematic review evaluated the effectiveness of orofacial myofunctional therapy (OMT) for improving feeding and swallowing outcomes in children aged 4–12 years. Searches of four databases identified 17 studies, all reporting positive feeding and/or swallowing outcomes, including improved eating and swallowing skills, orofacial muscle function and

Old but Sold? Innovation Through Tradition Strategy for Export and the Role of Family Involvement
Journal of Product Innovation Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Despite the notable body of research, the family firm (FF) internationalization literature has overlooked the role of innovation strategies in explaining FFs' export performance. We focus on the innovation through tradition (ITT) strategy—specifically, the degree to which a firm leverages its firm‐specific, mature (i.e., past) knowledge in the

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.ABSTRACT While β‐glucans from plants and yeasts have been extensively studied in weaned piglets, studies examining algae β‐glucans are scarce. Thus, the present study aimed to examine the effects of feeding algae β‐glucan in weaned piglets. Male, 21‐day‐old, weaned crossbred piglets were allotted to three experimental groups, which were fed either an ...

Orthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.A comparative study of bicompartmental unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (bi‐UKA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in patients with bicompartmental osteoarthritis. The image illustrates key anatomical differences in implant design, outlines the study population (bi‐UKA: n = 35, TKA: n = 45), and highlights functional evaluation metrics including the ...
