The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Neuroanatomy studies in vertebrates have garnered significant attention in recent years, particularly driven by advancements in computerized tomography imaging techniques. Nonetheless, these advancements remain largely constrained to specific vertebrate groups, notably mammals, birds, and fish, leaving studies in reptiles at an incipient stage.

Engineering the Rod of Asclepius – A Biochemical Investigation of Snake Venom Components and their Application as Potential Cancer Treatments [PDF]
, 2019 In the wild, venom is crucial to many snakes’ success as predators. While antivenin research focuses on combatting venoms’ abilities to disrupt physiological processes, new studies are attempting to manipulate these same abilities into anticancer ...

Snake Robot Gait Decomposition and Gait Parameter Optimization [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 This paper proposes Gait Decomposition (G.D), a method of mathematically decomposing snake movements, and Gait Parameter Gradient (GPG), a method of optimizing decomposed gait parameters. G.D is a method that can express the snake gait mathematically and concisely from generating movement using the curve function to the motor control order when ...

Sharpening our understanding of saber‐tooth biomechanics
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Saber‐teeth are a striking example of convergent evolution in vertebrate predators, having evolved multiple times in mammals and their early ancestors. While there is broad consensus that saber‐toothed taxa employed a distinct biting strategy compared to conical‐toothed carnivores, like the lion, the precise mechanics and variability of this ...

Some algebraic invariants of the edge ideals of some $q$-fold bristled graphs [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 In this paper, we compute the exact values of regularity of the quotient rings of the edge ideals associated to multi triangular snake and multi triangular ouroboros snake graphs. Also we compute the exact values of depth, Stanley depth, regularity and projective dimension of the quotient rings of the edge ideals associated to $q$-fold bristled graphs ...
