Evaluation of the Efficiency of a Biobased Reactive Plasticizer on the Morphology and Properties of Sustainable Flexible Films Based on Poly(Lactic Acid) (PLA) Produced by Blown Film Extrusion

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
A comparative investigation of two epoxy additives derived from cardanol (NC513 and NC514s) for production of films based on poly (lactic acid) (PLA), acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC), and poly (butylene adipate‐co‐terephthalate) (PBAT) clarified their distinct roles, with NC513 mainly acting as a plasticizer, reducing viscosity and enhancing ductility ...

Inter‐microscope comparability of dental microwear texture data obtained from different optical profilometers: Part II Deriving instrument‐specific correction equations for meta‐analyses using published data

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) has emerged as a valuable method for investigating the feeding ecology of vertebrates. Over the past decade, three‐dimensional topographic data from microscopic regions of tooth surfaces have been collected, and surface texture parameters have been published for both extant and fossil species.

Variation in parrot jaw musculature

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Interspecific morphological differences in some superficial jaw muscles of parrots. Abstract Psittaciformes, the order encompassing parrots and their relatives, are highly diverse and generally known for having a strong beaks used for multiple behaviors. The muscles related to the masticatory apparatus should reflect this functional complexity; however,
