A Review of Trans‐Dimensional Kirigami: From Compliant Mechanism to Multifunctional Robot
This review outlines recent advancements in the geometric design and mechanical properties of kirigami. The kirigami is classified into two categories from a compliant mechanism perspective, highlighting their applications in metamaterials and robotic systems. Finally, the future research directions, is explored focusing on the potential of integrating

Abstract Premise Fire is a key ecological process that shapes ecosystems globally, yet fire adaptation strategies remain unclear for many species, especially for ground lichens that are reliant on pyrogenic landscapes but are evidently fire‐intolerant.

Abstract While the relationship between community violence exposure and maladaptive outcomes has been established, the dynamic between violence exposure and resilience factors in youth is not well understood. The current study utilizes a community‐based participatory research (CBPR) framework and employs a novel mixed‐methods approach integrating ...

Helmeted hornbill cranial kinesis: Balancing mobility and stability in a high‐impact joint
Abstract Prokinesis—in which a craniofacial joint allows the rostrum to move relative to the braincase—is thought to confer diverse advantages in birds, mostly for feeding. A craniofacial joint would, however, be a weak link if cranial stability is important. Paradoxically, we have identified a craniofacial joint in helmeted hornbills (Rhinoplax vigil),

A Simple Polygon Search Algorithm
This paper considers simple polygon search problem. How many searchers find a mobile intruder that is arbitrarily faster than the searcher within polygon art gallery? This paper uses the visibility graph that is connected with edges for mutually visible vertices. Given visibility graph, we select vertex that is conjunction in for ≤

Abstract Modularity and integration are key developmental properties and have remained central in evo‐devo research because of how they relate to evolvability. While modularity and integration have commonly been assessed with landmark‐based geometric morphometrics (GMM), other methods such as anatomical network analysis (AnNA) are increasingly being ...

Shaping the human face: Periosteal bone modeling across ontogeny
Abstract Facial morphology is a defining aspect of Homo sapiens that distinguishes our species from fossil ancestors and plays a central role in estimating age, sex, and ancestry in both past and present populations. Understanding how the face develops during postnatal ontogeny is essential for interpreting adult facial variation.

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.
