Reconstructing the major skull myology of the giant stem‐amphibian Mastodonsaurus: A case study for early tetrapods

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We reconstruct the major cranial musculature of the giant stem amphibian Mastodonsaurus giganteus, revealing a differentiated jaw‐adductor system, a probable sesamoid pulley, and previously unrecognised muscles. This EPB‐based case study establishes an anatomical framework for modelling feeding in early tetrapods and supports interpretations of ...

Studies on lateral rolling locomotion of a snake robot

, 2004
A reconfigurable modular snake robot has been developed, which can not only move on a plane but also achieve some 3-dimensional motions while reconfigured.

Between Play and Reason: Integrating Sensible Foolishness Into Strategy‐Making Workshops

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract Sensible foolishness through play can offer a valuable escape from prevailing dogmas and rational models of intelligence, affording actors freedom to explore, imagine, and create without constraint. Yet the value of sensible foolishness, and the vital interplay between play and reason, remains underexplored in strategy scholarship.

Vocabulary Opens the Door; Creativity Guides the Search: Complementary Contributions to Second Language Semantic Fluency Across Domains

Language Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract Semantic fluency, the ability to retrieve words within a category, relies on lexical knowledge, semantic memory and executive control mechanisms. A richer, interconnected semantic memory and optimal executive control, as seen in creative individuals, enhance fluency through broad associative searches and quicker access to remote concepts ...

Influence of the gradient of a slope on optimal locomotion curves of a snake-like robot

, 2006
Snakes perform many kinds of movement adapted to different environments. Utilizing the snake as a model, we have developed a two-dimensional snake-like robot that emulates a snakes' function.

The Belief–Desire Appraisal Theory of Emotion

Pacific Philosophical Quarterly, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT I introduce the Belief–Desire Appraisal Theory of Emotion (BDA). BDA makes three main claims: (a) Emotions are psychological episodes whose paradigmatic instances are constituted by coordinated changes in appraisals, action tendencies, bodily responses, and subjective feelings; (b) appraisals—which are rapid, low‐level evaluations of ...

Biocrust restoration in novel climates: assisted migration, habitat amelioration, and varied community composition as climate‐smart techniques

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Successful restoration of terrestrial drylands depends on stable, fertile soils that retain water. These functions are provided by biological soil crusts (biocrust), suggesting their reestablishment is a critical step in dryland restoration.
