Morphology, kinematics, and dynamics: the mechanics of suction feeding in fishes

, 2015
Suction feeding is pervasive among aquatic vertebrates, and our understanding of the functional morphology and biomechanics of suction feeding has recently been advanced by combining experimental and modeling approaches.

Postnatal craniomandibular growth in Harbor seals (Phoca vitulina vitulina)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Postnatal ontogeny in Harbor seals (Phoca vitulina vitulina). Cranium and mandible grow rapidly until 5 years of age, followed by a deceleration and finally a stagnation. Abstract As secondarily aquatic carnivores, seals display several phenotypic differences compared to their terrestrial relatives.

Development of the nasal capsule in Emydura subglobosa (Testudines: Pleurodira) with a comparison to other turtles

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Extant turtles occupy freshwater, marine, and terrestrial habitats, and their nasal region provides important evidence for the evolution of respiration‐ and sensory‐related cranial morphology. However, developmental data on the turtle nasal capsule remain limited, particularly in Pleurodira.

Beyond wound sealing: A dual‐functional adhesive nanofiber membrane promoting coagulation and osteogenesis in extraction sites

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Inspired by the suction mechanics of octopus suckers, a dual‐layer nanofiber membrane integrates antibacterial protection, strong wet adhesion, and osteogenic support, offering a bioinspired strategy for effective hemostasis and alveolar bone preservation.

Compliant hydrogel cuff coating with real‐time pressure monitoring and antibiofilm capabilities for ventilator‐associated pneumonia prophylaxis

BMEMat, EarlyView.
A soft‐compliant hydrogel cuff coating combines real‐time pressure monitoring with intrinsic antibacterial activity for prophylaxis of ventilator‐associated pneumonia. A flexible pressure‐sensing patch is embedded in the coating to enable wireless dynamic monitoring of endotracheal cuff pressure through Bluetooth.

Influence of suction pressure of clay unsaturated soils on slope stability

Известия высших учебных заведений: Геология и разведка
Background. The main aspects of the influence of suction pressure on slope stability are considered; an example of calculations in the Plaxis software is presented. Specific features in the behavior of unsaturated and saturated soils are described.

A biomechanical optimized Zr58Cu25Al14Nb3 bulk metallic glass dental implant improves peri‐implant stress distribution and bone quality under physiological loading

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This study reports a novel Zr58Cu25Al14Nb3 bulk metallic glass that possesses high mechanical strength and low elastic modulus, which further promotes efficient mechanotransduction and significantly improves peri‐implant bone quality upon cyclic occlusal loading.

Application of dynamic modelling and model‐based predictive control to enhance a cooling tower

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Model predictive control (MPC) applied to improve the operation of cooling towers. Abstract Model predictive control (MPC) differs from traditional feedback control by making predictions within a time horizon, providing better control actions for the process.

Water-holding properties and electrochemical characterization of the soil under the Grand Deliverance Hall of the Chongshan Temple, Taiyuan City, China: providing the basis for preventing groundwater erosion in historic buildings

Heritage Science
Many historic buildings are at serious risk of deterioration due to changes in the moisture content of the soil under the buildings. Based on the typical deterioration problems of the Grand Deliverance Hall and the cultural relics in the hall, this study
