The pectoralis muscle orientation as an indicator of the modes of wing‐propelled locomotion in birds

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
The pectoralis orientation of birds was consistent with the orientation of the aerodynamic force acting on the wing, varying by wing‐propelled locomotion (WPL) mode. The skeletal morphology unique to each WPL mode, related to the origin/insertion of the pectoralis, may be associated with these functional demands of pectoralis orientation.

Reconstructing the major skull myology of the giant stem‐amphibian Mastodonsaurus: A case study for early tetrapods

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We reconstruct the major cranial musculature of the giant stem amphibian Mastodonsaurus giganteus, revealing a differentiated jaw‐adductor system, a probable sesamoid pulley, and previously unrecognised muscles. This EPB‐based case study establishes an anatomical framework for modelling feeding in early tetrapods and supports interpretations of ...

Effectiveness of plasma‐enhanced chemical vapor film in surface treatments of resin‐matrix ceramics to preserve optical characteristics after different aging processes

open access: yesJournal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The aim of this study was to evaluate the surface roughness and optical characteristics of three ceramics with resin matrix for computer‐aided design and computer‐aided manufacturing, after different surface treatment protocols associated or not with the application of film deposition by plasma‐enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD)

Retention characteristics of individually milled bar systems with customized patrices: An in vitro comparison of electroplated and friction‐based retention concepts

open access: yesJournal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose This in vitro study examined the initial and long‐term retention behavior of individually milled bar (IMB) systems combined with customized patrices (CPs), contrasting electroplated patrices (EP), and friction pin patrices (FPP) concepts.

Networked Regional Resilience: Diffusion of Risk and Adaptation Across Interconnected Regions

open access: yesJournal of Regional Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Regions face not only direct exposure to economic and physical shocks but also indirect consequences of actions in interconnected regions. This paper examines how socio‐spatial networks shape regional resilience to contagious shocks through dynamic feedback between risk diffusion and adaptation diffusion.
