Helmeted hornbill cranial kinesis: Balancing mobility and stability in a high‐impact joint

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Prokinesis—in which a craniofacial joint allows the rostrum to move relative to the braincase—is thought to confer diverse advantages in birds, mostly for feeding. A craniofacial joint would, however, be a weak link if cranial stability is important. Paradoxically, we have identified a craniofacial joint in helmeted hornbills (Rhinoplax vigil),

Weakened continental lithosphere beneath the northern Red Sea inferred from elastic thickness

Scientific Reports
The northern Red Sea (NRS) is considered an extended continental region that has resulted in a rift system. Gravity and bathymetry data were used to estimate the Moho depth and the elastic thickness Te of the lithosphere beneath the NRS region to ...

VACUUMATICS; Systematic Flexural Rigidity Analysis

, 2010
The structural integrity of vacuumatics relies on the principle of prestressing unbound particles inside an enclosed membrane. By introducing a negative pressure (partial vacuum) inside this airtight flexible enclosure, the membrane is tightly wrapped around the outer particles, hence effectively bonding the particle filling to create (adaptable) load ...

Recombinant Monoclonal Antibodies for Detecting the Tubulin Post‐Translational Modifications Glutamylation and Lysine‐40 Acetylation

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Post‐translational modifications (PTMs) to tubulin subunits in microtubule filaments are thought to comprise a component of the tubulin code that specifies microtubule functions in cell physiology and animal development. Acetylation of Lysine‐40 (K40) on α‐tubulin (αTub‐K40ac) and glutamylation of both α‐ and β‐tubulin are two tubulin PTMs of ...
