A chewing robot based on parallel mechanism-- analysis and design : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Engineering in Mechatronics at Massey University [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Masticatory efficiency, dependent on number and condition of the teeth, length of time spent in chewing a bolus and the force exerted when chewing, influences an individual with the selection of food and therefore nutritionally diet.

The relationship between form and function of the carnivore mandible

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Dietary morphology diversified extensively in Carnivoraformes (living Carnivora and their stem relatives) during the Cenozoic (the last 66 million years) as they evolved to capture, handle, and process new animal and plant diets. We used 3D geometric morphometrics, mechanical advantage, and finite element analysis to test the evolutionary ...

Shaping the human face: Periosteal bone modeling across ontogeny

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Facial morphology is a defining aspect of Homo sapiens that distinguishes our species from fossil ancestors and plays a central role in estimating age, sex, and ancestry in both past and present populations. Understanding how the face develops during postnatal ontogeny is essential for interpreting adult facial variation.

Tooth row allometry in domestic rabbits and nondomestic lagomorphs: Evidence for a decoupling of body and tooth row size changes in evolutionary time

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Domestic rabbits of different body sizes differ disproportionately in the length of their tooth row or the length of their diastema. Abstract In various domestic mammals, smaller breeds tend to have proportionally larger teeth, whereas this is not a universal trend across mammals.

Evaluation of IHH, PTCH1, and SMO protein immunohistochemistry in the human mandibular condyle at fetal stages from 30 to 80 mm greatest length

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract This study evaluated the morphogenesis of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) in human fetuses during the third month of gestation through the analysis of immunohistochemistry for the proteins Indian Hedgehog (IHH), Patched‐1 (PTCH1), and Smoothened (SMO).

Characterization of mesostructure of natural rubber [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
To study NR mesostructure (macromolecular structure + aggregates or gels) (Figure 1), the NR sample is placed in a good solvent of polyisoprene (cyclohexane, toluene or tetrahydrofuran).

Ontogeny of murine bony semicircular canal form

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The labyrinthine geometry and functional anatomy of the semicircular canals have intrigued scientists for decades, and there has been considerable interest in understanding how these complex structures grow and develop with evidence emerging from human studies that size maturation occurs exceptionally early by comparison with other systems ...

Functional anatomy, jaw mechanisms, and feeding behavior of Dunkleosteus terrelli (Placodermi, Arthrodira)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
A new musculoskeletal reconstruction and revision of the cranio‐mandibular anatomy of the Devonian arthrodire placoderm Dunkleosteus terrelli from a comparative and functional anatomical perspective. Dunkleosteus is a specialized arthrodire with many specializations for feeding on large vertebrates, and many of its features are part of broader ...

Dietary Adaptations and Intra- and Interspecific Variation in Dental Occlusal Shape in Hominin and Non-hominin Primates [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Dental morphology and tooth shape have been used to recreate the dietary adaptations for extinct species, and thus dental variation can provide information on the relationship between fossil species and their paleoenvironments.
