Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Decoding Emotional Signatures of Ethical Ads: An Analysis of Actor‐Viewer Synchrony

Journal of Consumer Behaviour, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine whether ethical advertisements differ from conventional ads in their on‐screen emotional signatures and whether those signatures transfer to actor‐viewer synchrony. Study 1 analyses 138 professionally produced YouTube ads using Automated Facial Expression Recognition (AFER) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) to quantify actor ...

Hydraulic erosion patterns downstream of corrugated aprons: investigating free and submerged jet effects

Frontiers in Environmental Engineering
The experimental evaluation of the performance of a corrugated apron under free flow subcritical and submerged conditions was conducted, with a focus on scour patterns over the apron. Comparative analysis with a smooth rigid apron revealed an increase in

Investigation of Scour Depth Downstream of Stilling Basin for the Case of B-Jump [PDF]

علوم و مهندسی آبیاری, 2016
Scour downstream of hydraulic jump stilling basins can damage the surrounding area and can cause failure of the structure itself. Because of the study of such phenomenon has attracted the attention of researchers in the past.

The anatomy of exhumed river-channel belts: Bedform to belt‐scale river kinematics of the Ruby Ranch Member, Cretaceous Cedar Mountain Formation, Utah, USA [PDF]

, 2020
Many published interpretations of ancient fluvial systems have relied on observations of extensive outcrops of thick successions. This paper, in contrast, demonstrates that a regional understanding of palaeoriver kinematics, depositional setting and ...

Experimental study on erosion and sedimentation patterns downstream of a W-weir in a sinusoidal mild bend [PDF]

, 2017
Erosion in river bends causes loss of agricultural lands, adjacent facilities, and fish habitat. W-weir structures are recommended for controlling and reducing soil erosion as well as developing habitat for fish and other aquatic organisms.

Form and load transfer aspects of foundation systems: Case‐based implementation and adaptation for buildings

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Upon conceptualization of structural behavior, foundations in terms of their form are divided into linear (1D), planar (2D), and volumetric (3D). Regarding the load transfer mechanisms, linear foundation systems are considered vector‐acting, planar foundations are divided into section and surface‐acting, and volumetric ones are recognized as block ...

Experimental Investigation of the Effects of Flow Discharge on the Scour Rate around the Groups of Bridge Piers with a Rough Surface in the Presence of Aggregate Extraction Pits

علوم آب و خاک, 2021
The scour around the bridge piers is one of the main causes of bridge failure and the extraction of aggregates may aggravate this phenomenon. The present study comprehensively investigated the scour around the groups of bridge piers in the presence of ...
