Computed tomographic morphometry of tympanic bulla shape and position in brachycephalic and mesaticephalic dog breeds [PDF]
Anatomic variations in skull morphology have been previously described for brachycephalic dogs; however there is little published information on interbreed variations in tympanic bulla morphology.

Can the frequency-dependent specific heat be measured by thermal effusion methods? [PDF]
It has recently been shown that plane-plate heat effusion methods devised for wide-frequency specific-heat spectroscopy do not give the isobaric specific heat, but rather the so-called longitudinal specific heat. Here it is shown that heat effusion in a spherical symmetric geometry also involves the longitudinal specific heat.

Structural and inflammatory sonographic findings in erosive and non-erosive osteoarthritis of the interphalangeal finger joints [PDF]
Objective The objectives were: (1) to determine if ultrasound (US) can detect more erosions in erosive osteoarthritis (EOA) of the interphalangeal (IP) joints than conventional radiography (CR); and (2) to explore the frequency of structural and ...

Nonlinear transport effects in mass separation by effusion [PDF]
Generalizations of Onsager reciprocity relations are established for the nonlinear response coefficients of ballistic transport in the effusion of gaseous mixtures. These generalizations, which have been established on the basis of the fluctuation theorem for the currents, are here considered for mass separation by effusion.
