Osteoarthrosis: Analyze of the Molar Bite Force, Thickness and Masticatory Efficiency [PDF]

Prague Medical Report, 2020
Osteoarthrosis is a disorder of synovial joints, resulting from destruction of the cartilage and subchondral bone. The present study is aimed to investigate the molar bite force, thickness and efficiency of the masseter and temporalis muscles of subjects with osteoarthrosis. A total of forty-eight subjects participated in the study.

Variability of jaw muscles in Tunisian street dogs and adaptation to skull shape

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The impact of artificial selection on the masticatory apparatus of dogs has been poorly studied, and comparative data with dogs subjected to more natural constraints are lacking. This study explores the jaw musculature of Tunisian street dogs, which are largely free from the influence of breed‐specific selection.

Mastication in jaw muscle pain [PDF]

, 2021
Background: Integrated Pain Adaptation Models suggest a possible pain-motor interaction. Mechanisms affecting the jaw muscle spindles seem to affect the ability to bite and chew, suggesting that jaw muscle pain may be a potential modifier of ...

Early life functional transitions impact craniofacial morphology in osteogenesis imperfecta

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Early life behaviors have a profound role in shaping adult craniofacial morphology. During early life, all mammals undergo the dynamic transition from suckling to mastication, a period coinciding with rapid cranial biomineralization. Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), a genetic disorder that impacts the production of type I collagen, disrupts ...

Dropout Q-Functions for Doubly Efficient Reinforcement Learning [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Randomized ensembled double Q-learning (REDQ) (Chen et al., 2021b) has recently achieved state-of-the-art sample efficiency on continuous-action reinforcement learning benchmarks. This superior sample efficiency is made possible by using a large Q-function ensemble.

Measuring capital market efficiency: Global and local correlations structure [PDF]

Physica A 392(1), pp. 184-193, 2013, 2012
We introduce a new measure for the capital market efficiency. The measure takes into consideration the correlation structure of the returns (long-term and short-term memory) and local herding behavior (fractal dimension). The efficiency measure is taken as a distance from an ideal efficient market situation.
