Functional anatomy, jaw mechanisms, and feeding behavior of Dunkleosteus terrelli (Placodermi, Arthrodira)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
A new musculoskeletal reconstruction and revision of the cranio‐mandibular anatomy of the Devonian arthrodire placoderm Dunkleosteus terrelli from a comparative and functional anatomical perspective. Dunkleosteus is a specialized arthrodire with many specializations for feeding on large vertebrates, and many of its features are part of broader ...

The coelurosaur theropods of the Romualdo formation, early Cretaceous (Aptian) of Brazil: Santanaraptor placidus meets Mirischia asymmetrica

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The upper carbonate concretion levels of the Romualdo Formation (Aptian, Brazil) have yielded several theropod dinosaur remains, including spinosaurids and the coelurosaurs Santanaraptor placidus and Mirischia asymmetrica, the phylogenetic affinities of which are controversial.

Evolution Mechanism and Bearing Capacity of End-Area Hanging Roofs in Thick Hard Roofs with Liquid Nitrogen Fracturing Control

Applied Sciences
To address severe strata pressure induced by large end-area hanging spans and poor caving of thick, hard roofs in western coal mines, this study takes the 1302 working face of Zhujiamao Coal Mine as a case study. A multiscale mechanical model is developed to describe the progressive evolution of a stratified hard roof from a continuous beam to a ...

Re‐evaluation of a soft crested Edmontosaurin, with implications for hadrosaurid life appearance and diversity

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Hadrosaurid dinosaurs are generally regarded as “crested” or “non‐crested” depending on the presence or absence of a bony cranial crest. At least one supposedly “non‐crested” hadrosaur is known to have possessed a soft tissue cranial crest (or comb), based on an exceptionally preserved “mummified” specimen. Here we redescribe this specimen and

The cranial, mandibular, and hyoid anatomy of softshell turtles (Trionychidae): A revised character list for phylogenetic analysis

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Softshell turtles (Pan‐Trionychidae) are an early branching clade of hidden‐necked turtles (Cryptodira) with a rich fossil record extending back to the Early Cretaceous. The evolutionary history of softshell turtles is still unresolved because of their conservative morphology combined with high levels of polymorphism related to morphological ...

Mechanism of grouped collapse of thick and hard roof for gob-side entry retaining combined backfill in fully-mechanized caving face

Meitan xuebao
A large range of caving roof of gob-side entry retaining is easy to cause impact damage of the roadside backfill body. In order to ensure the stability of gob-side entry retaining, different from the traditional large-angle inclined roof cutting method ...

Redescription of the Triassic cynodont Cistecynodon parvus and reassessment of its phylogeny

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Cynodontia is an important subclade of Therapsida that first occurred in the late Permian. It includes extinct subclades which are the non‐mammaliaform cynodonts and Mammaliaformes, with the latter ultimately giving rise to crown mammals. The systematics of non‐mammaliaform cynodonts has been extensively studied and is relatively well‐resolved,

Evolution of broken structure of hard thick roof and analysis of impact hazard area

Meikuang Anquan
Aiming at the influence of hard and thick roof fracture and structural evolution on the impact of working face, taking the hard and thick roof condition of 63 upper 05 working face in Dongtan Coal Mine as the engineering background, the critical ...

Computed Tomography‐Based Morphometric Analysis Reveals Intercondylar Notch Stenosis and Osteophytes Are Associated With Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury

Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Purpose To quantitatively assess intercondylar notch morphometrics using 3‐dimensional computed tomography reconstruction, evaluate their association with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in Asian populations, and investigate the prevalence of osteophytes in patients with ACL injury.

Experiment Study on the Mechanical Behavior and Acoustic Emission Response of Thick and Hard Sandstone Roof in Xinjiang Mining Area

Advances in Civil Engineering
One of the primary threats to coal mine safety production is the sudden extensive fracturing and collapse of thick and hard roof strata. A range of uniaxial compression experiments with acoustic emission (AE) monitoring was performed for studying the ...
