Exceptional preservation informs the paleobiology of tapinocephalid dinocephalians
Abstract The tapinocephalid dinocephalian Moschops is one of the most iconic taxa of the middle Permian, yet its paleobiology remains one of the least well‐known. Here, we address some aspects of paleoneurology and paleobiology of Moschops using CT scanning of four well preserved skulls from the upper Abrahamskraal Formation of South Africa. Two of the

In order to improve the analytical result and robustness of modulation signal bispectrum based sideband estimator (MSB-SE), a method for extracting wear characteristics combining wavelet packet energy (WPE) and MSB-SE is proposed.

TEM characterisation of near surface deformation resulting from lubricated sliding wear of aluminium alloy and composites [PDF]
Aluminium alloy composites have been extensively investigated for use in tribo-contact applications, however little detailed literature exists on the sub-surface microstructural evolution as a result of lubricated sliding wear.

Abstract Sharks possess varied diets and different prey capture mechanisms. As a result, the group exhibits a significant diversity in dental morphology, also reflecting the internal structures of the teeth. Internal dental anatomy points to the existence of three histotypes in elasmobranch phylogeny: orthodont, osteodont, and pseudoosteodont ...

To reduce the wear of gear tooth surface and improve its transmission performance, a composite modification design method is proposed, which is based on the Sine-SSA-BP model and used to verify the influence of modification on gear wear. According to the

A Novel Tooth Wear Index based-on in-vivo 3D Scanning Analysis
Objective: to develop a tooth wear index capable of objectively classifying and quantifying the progression of tooth wear using accurate 3D scanning data of tooth wear in patients. Materials and methods: a 3D tooth wear scanning protocol, aimed at in-

Abstract Nineteenth century excavations of the Ciply‐Malogne Phosphatic Chalk Formation in Hainaut, Belgium, yielded over 50 partial mosasaur skeletons, the majority of which were referred to the species Mosasaurus lemonnieri Dollo, 1889. In the years since, this taxon has experienced a complicated taxonomic history, and its exceptional hypodigm has ...

Abstract The Iberian wolf (Canis lupus signatus) is an endangered subspecies characterized by highly fragmented populations and increasing human–carnivore conflict across the Iberian Peninsula. Although body mass strongly influences predator–prey dynamics and ecological performance, quantitative assessments of sexual size dimorphism (SSD) and body mass

Cristid obliqua morphology as a correlate of diet in lorisoids
Abstract Methods for elucidating dietary patterns from dental morphology have provided much insight into molar form, function, and diet in extinct taxa. However, many methods rely on the collection of homologous landmarks (like shearing crest lengths), or computationally intensive and nuanced metrics that capture shape (like dental topography). Here, a

Using partial recording to assess tooth wear in older adults
Objectives: To establish whether partial recording can be used for the measurement and reporting of tooth wear data in samples of adult populations, whilst maintaining the usefulness of the index. Methods: Using whole mouth coronal tooth wear data from a
