Estimated and in vivo measurements of bite force demonstrate exceptionally large bite forces in parrots (Psittaciformes)

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 246, Issue 2, Page 299-315, February 2025.
Bite force in parrots has been explored using data from muscle masses. The values were validated by comparison with data for bite force collected from live parrots. The parrot's reputation for a strong bite force is well founded. Abstract Jaw morphology and function determine the range of dietary items that an organism can consume.

Heat transport in turbulent Rayleigh-Benard convection: Effect of finite top- and bottom-plate conductivity [PDF]

, 2005
We describe three apparatus, known as the large, medium, and small apparatus, used for high-precision measurements of the Nusselt number N as a function of the Rayleigh number R for cylindrical samples of fluid and present results illustrating the influence of the finite conductivity of the top and bottom plates on the heat transport in the fluid.

Pointer states via Decoherence in a Quantum Measurement [PDF]

, 1999
We consider the interaction of a quantum system (spin-1/2) with a macroscopic quantum apparatus (harmonic oscillator) which in turn is coupled to a bath of harmonic oscillators. Exact solutions of the Markovian Master equation show that the reduced density matrix of the system-apparatus combine decoheres to a statistical mixture where up and down spins

The Future of Nanomaterials Tackling the Challenge of Delivering Nucleic Acids to the Retina

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 35, Issue 3, January 15, 2025.
Gene therapy is often the only hope for a cure for many retinal diseases. However, due to the unique anatomy of the eye, the introduction of such genes or nucleic acids is extremely challenging. This article presents various diseases, barriers, and challenges as well as methods and different nanomaterials that are used to deliver nucleic acids into the
