Revisiting paravertebral muscles in European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) and European brown hares (Lepus europaeus) (Leporidae; Lagomorpha)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Domesticated European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) have long been chosen as laboratory model organisms. Despite this, there has been no definitive study of the vertebral musculature of wild rabbits. Relevant descriptions of well‐studied veterinary model mammals (such as dogs) are generally applicable, but not appropriate for a species ...

7000 Years of Aboriginal Mining at Sugarloaf Hill in the Riverland Region of South Australia

open access: yesArchaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Silcrete and chert are commonly represented in Aboriginal archaeological lithic assemblages across large parts of the southwestern Murray‐Darling Basin (MDB). In South Australia (SA), these materials were sourced from a series of quarries located along the incised course of the Murray River through the upper Riverland region.

A CNN deep learning approach to scour depth estimation around complex bridge piers in steady flow environments

open access: yesAdvances in Bridge Engineering
Scour around complex bridge piers (CBP) caused by sediment erosion due to steady flow is a critical challenge in hydraulic engineering, often leading to structural instabilities and failures.

Effect of the Correlation between Hydraulic Parameters on the Reliability Analysis of a Riprap Designed around Bridge Pier

open access: yesعلوم آب و خاک, 2021
One of the most common and practical methods in controlling the local scour around bridge pier is to place a protective riprap layer. Due to various uncertainties in the design of this countermeasure method, in the present study, the reliability analysis

Scanning Parametric Sediment Echosounder as Tool for Underwater Archaeological Prospection

open access: yesArchaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Underwater cultural heritage 3D prospection techniques, especially for remains that are partly buried in the ground, are only very rarely available and often can only be applied with considerable technical effort. To overcome this limitation, we evaluate a methodological adaption of widely used and available single channel parametric sediment ...

Atypical Predictive Processing Is Associated With Sensory Over‐Responsivity in Autism

open access: yesAutism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autism is characterized by sensory processing atypicalities including sensory over‐responsivity (SOR), a heightened negative response to sensory stimuli. Although the neural mechanisms underlying SOR are not fully understood, SOR has been associated with sensory‐limbic hyper‐reactivity during sensory stimulation.

Effectiveness of River Training Projects in Controlling Shoal Erosion: A Case Study of the Middle Yangtze River

open access: yesHydrology
Reservoir regulation and river training works are significant factors influencing downstream channel evolution. However, there is still a lack of systematic studies on the evolution patterns under their synergistic impacts.

Maximum scour depth estimation around side-by-side piers due to spacing effects for sustainable hydraulic infrastructure design

open access: yesNext Sustainability
A lot of research has been done on single bridge piers using experimental, numerical or database-driven models. However, there have not been many studies on groups of piers placed next to each other in the cross-flow direction.

Partners or passengers? Revisiting the association between diatoms and aquatic animals

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Numerous studies have revealed the importance of research on the communities capable of colonizing animal surfaces (epibionts) and the animals on which they live (basibionts). Very few studies have considered epizoic diatoms, and there are gaps and biases in our knowledge, including the choice of basibionts, the methods used, and the habitats ...
