Evolutionary radiation of large‐bodied gorgonopsians from the lower Abrahamskraal formation of South Africa

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The middle Permian represents a critical interval in therapsid evolution, when gorgonopsians emerged as some of the first specialized apex predators within terrestrial ecosystems. Despite their significance, the early diversification of Gorgonopsia in Gondwana remains poorly understood due to scarcity and fragmentary material.

Simulation study on the influence of different influencing factors on the amount of drilling cuttings

Meikuang Anquan
The drilling cuttings method is an important means to determine and predict the risk of coal and rock dynamic disasters such as rock burst. Accurately obtaining the variation law of drilling cuttings is one of the keys to understanding the stress state ...

Rock Burst in the Kan'etsu Tunnel

Journal of the Japan Society of Engineering Geology, 1981
In excavation of the Kan'etsu tunnel, rock burst occurred expectedly. Especially for about 1 year since July 1980, many broken pieces of rock had sprung out frequently. Rock burst should be classified into sometypes, such as springing of rocks, cracks on face without springing of rocks, and only breakdown noises onface or in bed rock.

Tracheal chambers as a key innovation for high‐frequency emission in bat echolocation

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Key innovations are pivotal for biodiversity and facilitating evolutionary success, enabling organisms' adaptation to various ecological niches through the diversification of phenotypic traits. In mammals, notable adaptations include evolving hypsodonty for grazing on grasses and, for bats, evolving echolocation and wing acquisition.

The pelvis doesn't walk by itself: Wider pelves reduce the cost of walking over unstable surfaces

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Walking over variable and/or unstable terrain is a key aspect of daily life and was crucial to the evolution of bipedalism. The ability to find gait solutions that maintained stability over uneven terrain for the least increase in metabolic cost was likely a hallmark of locomotor effectiveness in early humans, in particular acting as an ...

Application of a Microseismic Method of Rock Burst Risk Assessment under Blasting Mining in Ashele Copper Mine

Shock and Vibration, 2022
Rock burst is a violent release of energy stored in the rock mass, which has been the focus of metal mine engineers. It gradually becomes a serious threat to both the mine’s workers and equipment.

Coherence‐Gated Wrapped‐Phase InSAR With Matrix‐Based Uncertainty Diagnostics for Burial‐Mound Hotspot Ranking (Sicily, Italy)

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Burial mounds are key elements of Mediterranean funerary landscapes, but in intensively cultivated coastal plains their low‐relief expression is easily obscured by ploughing, levelling and rapidly changing surface conditions, making single‐date observations unreliable.

Leaving children behind for cross‐border education: Unveiling the emotional agency of international post‐graduate student mothers

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite growing interest in the internationalisation of higher education, the experiences of international student parents, particularly international student mothers, remain largely marginalised in research and policy. This paper examines the emotional agency of international student mothers who leave their children behind in their home ...

A repertoire of middle leading practices: A large‐scale investigation of middle leadership in schools

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This article presents findings from an Australian study investigating the practices of middle leaders responsible for facilitating school development. Despite middle leaders being increasingly recognised as essential in the development of teaching and learning in schools, middle leadership remains under‐researched and comparatively overlooked ...

Comparative Analysis of Bioreactor Design and Scale‐Up for Cultivated Meat Using Monte Carlo‐Based Timescale Modeling

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cultivated meat offers a sustainable alternative to conventional livestock production but faces significant scale‐up challenges, particularly in bioreactor design for mammalian cell suspension cultures. This study presents a comparative analysis of stirred tank reactors (STR), bubble columns (BC), and airlift reactors (ALR) to assess their ...
