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.

Comparative cranial biomechanics reveal macroevolutionary trends in theropod dinosaurs, with emphasis on Tyrannosauroidea

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Tyrannosaurus is viewed as a model organism in vertebrate paleontology, with numerous studies analyzing its feeding biomechanics. Nonetheless, the evolution of this feeding performance has been under‐addressed in Tyrannosauroidea, especially in basal tyrannosauroids. Here we used muscle‐force reconstruction and finite element analysis (FEA) to

Description of large, well‐preserved Enchodus specimens from the Bearpaw Formation of Alberta, Canada

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Fishes of the genus Enchodus were abundant and cosmopolitan in the Late Cretaceous, but are primarily known from isolated remains in Canada. Four well‐preserved fish skulls were recovered in recent years from ammolite mines sampling the Bearpaw Formation of Southern Alberta, and are here referred to Enchodus petrosus Cope, 1874.

7000 Years of Aboriginal Mining at Sugarloaf Hill in the Riverland Region of South Australia

Archaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Silcrete and chert are commonly represented in Aboriginal archaeological lithic assemblages across large parts of the southwestern Murray‐Darling Basin (MDB). In South Australia (SA), these materials were sourced from a series of quarries located along the incised course of the Murray River through the upper Riverland region.

Histological Characterization and Comparative Transcriptomic Analysis of Gonads During Early Sex Differentiation in the Northern Snakehead (Channa argus)

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
This study delineates the early sex differentiation timeline in the northern snakehead (Channa argus). These findings provide a foundation for future sex‐control breeding in this economically important species. ABSTRACT The northern snakehead (Channa argus) is an economically important aquaculture species in China.

Combined method of opencast and underground mining of valuable ore

E3S Web of Conferences, 2018
The efficiency of the combined opencast and underground mining of deposits directly depends on the overburden amount within the open pit boundaries. The amount of overburden to be removed, in its turn, is determined by the angles of the open pit slopes ...

PHOTOGRAMMETRIC SURVEY OF OPEN PIT MINE

BOOK OF PROCEEDINGS XIII (2018), 2017
<p>There is a geodetic department in Ugljevik Coal Mine. In addition to all tasks(expropriation, geometry control of existing engineering objects, monitoring oflandslides, etc.), the primary task of the geodetic service is to calculate the volume of theexcavated masses on a surface mine during a certain period of time.

‘Sometimes, I would look at my books and cry because I felt like I was left behind’: Understanding the learning of Indigenous girls during the COVID‐19 pandemic in the districts of Chongwe and Solwezi in Zambia

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Grounded in principles of epistemic justice, this article examines the educational impacts of Zambia's COVID‐19 school closures on Indigenous girls in two districts and highlights community‐led pathways for resilience. National responses prioritised broadcast and digital delivery but presupposed access to electricity, digital devices and ...
