Development of hypobranchial muscles with special reference to the evolution of the vertebrate neck
Background The extant vertebrates include cyclostomes (lamprey and hagfish) and crown gnathostomes (jawed vertebrates), but there are various anatomical disparities between these two groups. Conspicuous in the gnathostomes is the neck, which occupies the

The damping and structural properties of dragonfly and damselfly wings during dynamic movement
Lietz, Rajabi and colleagues investigate the physiological and structural components of damping in insect wings. Notably, flight muscles and hemolyph appear to have no direct involvement in wing damping, compared to the function of the wing hinge.

Interval-valued and intuitionistic fuzzy mathematical morphologies as special cases of L-fuzzy mathematical morphology [PDF]
Mathematical morphology (MM) offers a wide range of tools for image processing and computer vision. MM was originally conceived for the processing of binary images and later extended to gray-scale morphology.

Platelet Biochemistry and Morphology after Cryopreservation [PDF]
Platelet cryopreservation has been investigated for several decades as an alternative to room temperature storage of platelet concentrates. The use of dimethylsulfoxide as a cryoprotectant has improved platelet storage and cryopreserved concentrates can ...

Structure in the Epislon Eridani dusty disk caused by mean motion resonances with a 0.3 eccentricity planet at periastron [PDF]
The morphology of the epsilon Eridani dust ring is reproduced by a numerical simulation of dust particles captured into the 5:3 and 3:2 exterior mean-motion resonances with a 0.3 eccentricity 10^-4 solar mass planet at periastron at a semi-major axis of ...

Modeling morphology evolution during solvent-based fabrication of organic solar cells [PDF]
Solvent-based techniques usually involve preparing dilute blends of electron-donor and electron-acceptor materials dissolved in a volatile solvent. After some form of coating onto a substrate, the solvent evaporates.

Numerical model of the spatio-temporal dynamics in a water strider group
The water strider group demonstrates a very complex dynamics consisting of competition for the food items, territoriality and aggression to the conspecific individuals, escaping from the predators, etc.
