Remote Language Assessment in School‐Age Children With Phelan–McDermid Syndrome and Genotype–Phenotype Correlation

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT People with Phelan–McDermid syndrome (PMS) have reduced speech and language abilities, yet little research has profiled the communication abilities in this population. The purpose of this study was threefold: identifying the language and communication profiles of school‐aged children with PMS, identifying genetic contributions to language and ...

Investigation of rutting deformation mechanisms and high-temperature deformation resistance of asphalt mixtures

open access: yesFrontiers in Materials
Rutting is a major form of high-temperature distress in asphalt pavements, significantly affecting service performance and driving safety. To investigate the evolution mechanism of rutting under coupled temperature and loading conditions, a laboratory ...

Description of the skull, braincase, and dentition of Moschognathus whaitsi (Dinocephalia, Tapinocephalia), and its palaeobiological and behavioral implications

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract A subadult Moschognathus whaitsi from the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa, was scanned using synchrotron radiation X‐ray computed tomography (SRXCT). Its subadult state allowed the cranial bones and teeth to be identified and individually reconstructed in 3D.

Does Neuroticism Disrupt the Psychological Benefits of Nostalgia? A Meta‐analytic Test

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Personality, EarlyView., 2020
Abstract Nostalgia, a sentimental longing or wistful affection for the past, confers self‐oriented, existential, and social benefits. We examined whether nostalgic engagement is less beneficial for individuals who are high in neuroticism (i.e. emotionally unstable and prone to negative affect).

Camel Anatomy; More Than Just a Hump [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The one-humped camel (Camelus dromedarius) is capable of living in extreme, arid environments due to its numerous anatomical adaptations. Its modified features of the muscular system, integument, skeletal system, and several internal organs allow this ...

A detailed redescription of a skeletally immature ‘Redondasaurus’ suggests ontogenetic transformations in the taxon mirror phytosaurian morphological evolution

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The study of morphological evolution is fundamentally tied to ontogeny, yet studies of these heterochronic processes in the fossil record are rare. Fossils belonging to an ontogenetic series are difficult to assign to an ontogenetic stage due to inconsistent proxies for skeletal ages, challenging to taxonomically assign due to morphological ...

Permanent Deformation Mechanism of Steel Bridge Deck Pavement Using Three-Dimensional Discrete–Continuous Coupling Method on the Mesoscopic Scale

open access: yesApplied Sciences
Unlike conventional asphalt pavements, steel bridge deck pavement (SBDP) is directly constructed on orthotropic steel deck plates characterized by relatively low flexural stiffness, rendering it more susceptible to rutting deformation under elevated ...
