We examined morphology, 3D arrangement, and mineral amount in cartilaginous vertebrae from four lamniform shark families (Alopiidae, Carchariidae, Cetorhinidae, and Lamnidae). We identified family‐specific mineralization trends, and regional patterning of structures along the column.

The impact of footwear on human talar trabecular architecture
Medial and lateral views of the human foot skeleton in the shod and unshod groups, with color maps representing mean relative trabecular bone volume fraction (rBV/TV) in the talus for each group. The shod group exhibited greater rBV/TV in the medial and posterior talus, whereas the unshod group had greater rBV/TV in the talar head and neck.

The connection between a prefabricated reinforced concrete column and a pocket foundation is a case treated from a general perspective in the European Standard named EN 1992-1-1 (EC2), and when the structural engineer deals with the dimensioning or ...

Secrecy: An Epistemological Account
ABSTRACT Although the ethical and political implications of secrecy are significant, I argue here that its fundamental nature is epistemological and that any account of its nature must be based on its epistemological profile. In particular, I propose examining secrecy within the framework of social and political epistemology, considering secrets as ...

Seriality and style: The embodiment, perception, and normalization of collectives
Abstract Within existential phenomenology, both seriality and style have been drawn on to theorize the embodiment and perceptibility of (social) ontological differences. While style refers to how we encounter the world and others not in the abstract, but as immediately and intuitively meaningful, seriality is a form of collective being that pertains to

Exploring the Use and Impact of Composite Materials in Robotics: A Systematic Review
ABSTRACT Lightweight and high‐strength materials are important in robotics, as structural design impacts efficiency, payload capacity, and energy consumption. Composite materials, with their superior stiffness‐to‐weight ratios and multifunctional properties, offer clear advantages over conventional metals and polymers.

Experimental Verification of Strut and Tie Model Design Method [PDF]
Although strut-and-tie models (STM) appear to provide safe, lower-bound designs for irregular concrete members, there have not been many experimental validations of them. This paper presents the result from two series of testing of STM specimens. In the first series, 6 specimens having different reinforcing designs but the same overall geometry and ...

Making Mining Licit: Gold, Commodification, and the Everyday Performance of Law in Colombia
ABSTRACT Ethnographies of resource‐making have shown that the extraction of resource value from objects is premised on obviating the emplaced lifeworlds that surrounded objects before they traveled to consumer markets. Much of this literature looks at such supply‐chain disentanglement from the viewpoint of corporate and formal regulatory practices ...
