Patterns of spinal motion, kinematic spaces and the land‐to‐sea transition in carnivorans
Using 3D reconstructions, we quantify intervertebral joint mobility to investigate how cervical, thoracic, and lumbar vertebral regions evolved distinct kinematic roles in pinnipeds. The findings reveal lineage‐specific adaptations for swimming and highlight the functional significance of vertebral joint flexibility in ecological transitions.

Integrating whole‐bone and regional analyses to understand human scapular growth
Abstract This study investigates ontogenetic changes in human scapular morphology using three‐dimensional geometric morphometrics with whole‐bone and region‐specific analyses. The aim is to evaluate whether the scapula follows a regular developmental pattern and whether its functionally distinct components, the scapular spine (SS) and glenoid fossa ...

Modeling and parameter estimation for fractional large‐scale interconnected Hammerstein systems
Abstract This paper addresses the challenge of modeling and identifying large‐scale interconnected systems exhibiting memory effects, hereditary properties, and non‐local interactions. We propose a fractional‐order extension of the Hammerstein architecture that incorporates Grünwald–Letnikov operators to capture complex dynamics through multiple ...

Abstract The linear‐quadratic regulator (LQR) problem of optimal control of an uncertain discrete‐time linear system (DTLS) is revisited in this paper from the perspective of Tikhonov regularization. We show that an optimally chosen regularization parameter reduces, compared to the classical LQR, the values of a scalar error function, as well as the ...

ABSTRACT Cultivated meat production requires efficient differentiation of muscle progenitor cells into myotubes without relying on animal‐derived serum, which poses ethical and scalability challenges. This study aimed to develop a chemically defined, serum‐free medium optimized for bovine satellite cell differentiation.

ABSTRACT Drawing on comparative institutional theory, we study the nature and magnitude of the effects of national environmental policies on corporate green innovation in developed versus emerging markets. Using a sample of 1831 listed firms in 34 countries from 2002 to 2020, we find that national environmental policies increase corporate green ...

Blockchain Technology and the Circular Economy Transition: Associations With Company Performance
ABSTRACT The adoption of circular economy (CE) practices in the private sector has received increasing academic and managerial attention, although the implementation of such practices continues to face significant barriers. Among Industry 4.0 technologies, blockchain has been identified as a potential factor associated with the CE transition.

A Decision‐Making Model for Implementing Green Technology in Sustainable Building Projects
ABSTRACT Green technology (GT) adoption is pivotal for reconciling environmental stewardship with economic viability in the built environment, particularly in resource‐constrained emerging economies. However, empirical evidence on how specific GT drivers actively mitigate adoption barriers remains scarce.
