Evaluating Bergmann's and Allen's rules in the long bones of the eastern gray squirrel

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Ecogeographical rules predict variation in body size and appendage proportions across climatic gradients, yet intraspecific tests using long bones from wild populations remain limited among small mammals. This study tests the hypothesis that eastern gray squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) conform to Bergmann's rule, that is, body size increases ...

Experimental and Analytical Assessment of Shaft Resistance and Critical Depth of Piles Subjected to Uplift Loads in Overconsolidated Sand

Geotechnics
Pile foundations are widely used to transfer axial loads to deeper strata, where uplift resistance is critical for offshore structures, towers, and retaining systems. Uplift capacity is governed primarily by shaft resistance mobilized along the pile–soil

Atypical Long Barrows in the Cöeby Neolithic Cemetery (Trédion, Morbihan, France)? The Contribution of Electrical Surveys

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Coëby Neolithic cemetery, located in the commune of Trédion (Morbihan, France) and discovered in 1986, has been for several years the subject of a research programme focused on studying the various megalithic structures present. The spatial distribution of these remains highlights an unusual occupation of the territory, organized according

Skin and Toe Resistance Mobilisation of Pile During Laboratory Static Load Test

Studia Geotechnica et Mechanica, 2018
This article shows the mathematical method to determine the lateral stress on the shaft and toe resistance of pile using the new approach. The method was originally invented by Meyer and Kowalow for the static load test.

Dark Heritage Prospection ‐ Mapping the Treblinka II Extermination Camp Using a Magnetometer Survey and Integrated Archival Sources

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The history of Nazi German extermination camps has, until recently, relied primarily on eyewitness testimony. Very few official documents detailing the facilities survived the war due to the special operation ‘Sonderaktion 1005’, dedicated to hiding their existence and extent.

Dissecting the dissection laboratory: Elements for designing a human anatomy laboratory

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract The human anatomy dissection laboratory is a critical component of anatomical and medical education. Development, maintenance, and stocking of these laboratory spaces have unique demands, with all of the challenges in running a laboratory with Biosafety Laboratory Level 2 (BSL‐2) classification, housing a large volume of tissues saturated with

Modified Sheet Pile Abutments for Low-Volume Road Bridges: TR-568, January 2012 [PDF]

, 2012
To date there have been few investigations of the substructures in low-volume road (LVR) bridges. Steel sheet piling has the potential to provide an economical alternative to concrete bridge abutments, but it needs investigation with regard to vertical ...
