Controlled bending of a charged elastic cantilever in electric field
The bending of ultrathin single-layer metal plates in a controlled electric field is modeled. The plate (cantilever) form factor corresponds to elements of high-speed optical shutters in dynamic X-ray lithography.

Objective The evidence regarding adherence to dietary patterns and Parkinson's disease (PD) risk is inconsistent. Because of the long prodromal PD phase, reverse causation represents a major threat to investigations of diet in relation to PD. We examined whether adherence to the Mediterranean (MED) and Mediterranean‐Dietary Approaches to Stop ...

Brain Atrophy Associated With Risk Variant rs10191329 Extends Beyond Multiple Sclerosis
The risk allele rs10191329*A is associated with disease severity and brain atrophy in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). We investigated the association of rs10191329 with age‐related brain atrophy in a population‐based cohort using 10,308 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of 4,815 participants aged ≥ 45 years without MS in cross‐sectional and ...

Exergy and Economic Analysis of Hybrid Mechanical Vapor Compression and Membrane Distillation
ABSTRACT Hybridization of two or more desalination processes has been identified as an attractive option for improved energy efficiency and recovery rate. To appropriately assess the performance enhancement of hybrid desalination systems, an integrated approach for energy, exergy, economic, and environmental investigations should be adopted. This study

Abstract The oval window (OW) is an opening connecting the inner and middle ear. Its area has been shown to consistently scale with body mass (BM) in primates, and has been used alongside semi‐circular canal (SCC) size to differentiate Homo sapiens and fossil hominins, including Paranthropus robustus.

The relationship between form and function of the carnivore mandible
Abstract Dietary morphology diversified extensively in Carnivoraformes (living Carnivora and their stem relatives) during the Cenozoic (the last 66 million years) as they evolved to capture, handle, and process new animal and plant diets. We used 3D geometric morphometrics, mechanical advantage, and finite element analysis to test the evolutionary ...

Abstract Basking sharks, Cetorhinus maximus (Gunnerus, Brugden [Squalus maximus], Det Kongelige Norske Videnskabers Selskabs Skrifter, 1765, vol. 3, pp. 33–49), feed by gaping their mouths and gill slits, greatly reorienting their cranial skeletons to filter food from water.

Intraspecific variation of cochlear morphology in bowhead and beluga whales
Abstract The bony labyrinth of the petrosal bone, a distinctive feature of mammal skulls, is often identified in micro‐computed tomography imaging to infer species' physiological and ecological traits. When done as part of a comparative study, one individual specimen is normally considered representative of a species, and intraspecific variation is ...
