Scratching beneath the surface: Quantification of muscle architecture and myosin heavy chain content in the forelimbs of black‐tailed prairie dogs (Cynomys, Rodentia)

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Black‐tailed prairie dogs are highly social ground squirrels that excavate communal burrow systems, most often in medium‐textured soils. Their forelimbs demonstrate morphofunctional trade‐offs for scratch‐digging and terrestrial ecology, including well‐developed and fast‐contracting proximal musculature with large mechanical advantage paired with ...

Entangled Foodways and Livelihood Pathways: Cinnamon, State Interventions, and Everyday Life in Hmong Communities of Northern Vietnam

open access: yesJournal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The agroecological practices of ethnic minority farmers in Vietnam's northern uplands are being reshaped by intersecting pressures of land‐use reform, market integration, and state‐backed crop promotion. Among Hmong communities in the south of Lào Cai Province (former Yên Bái Province) cinnamon was once valued primarily for its medicinal ...

Assessing the influence of titanium dioxide nanotubes incorporation on thermal and thermomechanical characteristics of 3D‐printed denture base resin

open access: yesJournal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose This study aims to evaluate the effects of adding titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanotubes (NTs) to three‐dimensional (3D) printed denture base resin on the thermal and thermomechanical properties, which have high clinical relevance. Materials and Methods TiO2 NTs with dimensions of 30–70 nm in diameter and 2–4 µm in length were added to the ...

Effects of printing temperature and post‐curing duration on the dimensional reproducibility and fracture load of 3D‐printed dental prostheses: An exploratory study

open access: yesJournal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose This in vitro study aimed to evaluate the effects of printing temperature and post‐curing duration on the dimensional reproducibility and mechanical properties of three‐dimensional (3D)–printed dental prostheses. Materials and Methods Photopolymer specimens were fabricated using a stereolithographic 3D printer at two temperatures: room

Second Language Interactional Competence in Roleplay: Comparing Generative Artificial Intelligence and Human Interlocutors

open access: yesLanguage Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract This study explores the potential of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) as an alternative to human interlocutors for assessing interactional competence (IC) in a second language (L2). Thirty L2 English speakers completed a 6‐item roleplay task designed to elicit refusals of requests, invitations, and offers, interacting with both a ...

Obstetric racism in Europe: Linguistic racism, exoticization, and uneven reproduction in the Netherlands

open access: yesMedical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract In this article, we conceptualize how Davis’ two concepts of uneven reproduction and obstetric racism—both rooted in the US context—are effectuated in the Netherlands. We consider uneven reproduction to consist of bio‐ and necropolitics, namely the management and regulation of a population's bodies, life and death.

Plant genotypic diversity and defoliation jointly shape root exudation, fungal communities, and carbon and nitrogen cycling

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Experimental design. Summary Intraspecific plant diversity is a major component of community diversity, yet its role in shaping plant–microbial interactions and soil functioning remains poorly understood. In particular, plant genotypic diversity may modulate ecosystem responses to defoliation, a key driver of ecosystem processes in grazed systems.

Restored wetlands: interplay between environmental variables, aboveground and belowground plant traits, and carbon cycling

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Assessing relationships between environmental conditions, aboveground and belowground plant traits, and carbon cycling in restored wetlands (grazed and ungrazed), compared to a baseline in near‐natural wetlands in Denmark, revealed that ecosystem functions can be restored, even in cases where plant biodiversity has not recovered.

Peri‐implantitis—Is it mainly a clinician‐initiated complication of implant therapy?

open access: yesPeriodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim The high prevalence of peri‐implantitis is concerning, with a growing consensus that the majority of cases are complications initiated by clinician‐related errors rather than classic pathology. A primary predisposing factor for peri‐implantitis is exposure of the micro‐rough implant surfaces to the peri‐implant sulcus after treatment ...
