Structural repairs to fire-damaged Guastavino tile vaults at Grand Central Terminal’s Oyster Bar
Loggia, Arquitectura & Restauración, 2007 The fireproof character of Guastavino vaults, one of the major characteristics of their structure, has been demonstrated on several occasions over the past hundred and twenty years.

Technical Challenges in the Construction of Gothic Vaults: The Gothic Theory of Structural Design [PDF]
, 2012 The construction of a Gothic vault implied the solution of several technical challenges. The literature on Gothic vault construction is quite large and its growth continues steadily.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Invasive gray squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) have replaced the native red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) across much of Great Britain over the last century. Several factors have been proposed to underlie this replacement, but here we investigated the potential for dietary competition in which gray squirrels have better feeding performance than ...

Stress condition of brick barrel vaults in view of anisotropic properties
Magazine of Civil Engineering, 2021 The subject of our studies are brickwork barrel vaults used in historic buildings and structures. To keep flat-arched vaults in good working order, it is required to perform appropriate theoretical research aimed at studying their stress condition. It is

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The study of morphological evolution is fundamentally tied to ontogeny, yet studies of these heterochronic processes in the fossil record are rare. Fossils belonging to an ontogenetic series are difficult to assign to an ontogenetic stage due to inconsistent proxies for skeletal ages, challenging to taxonomically assign due to morphological ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Despite documented ecomorphological shifts toward an herbivorous diet in several coelurosaurian lineages, the evolutionary tempo and mode of these changes remain poorly understood, hampered by sparse cranial materials for early representatives of major clades. This is particularly true for Therizinosauria, with representative crania best known

Seismic Behavior of Masonry Cloister Vaults
Academia XXII, 2018 This paper presents the results of an investigation into earthquake resistance and the behavior of historical masonry cloister vaults. In a previous paper,1 the authors presented a simpli ed structural analysis approach, called the “strip method of ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Neandertals are known to possess very distinctive traits in their bony labyrinth morphology, such as an inferiorly positioned posterior canal and a very low number of turns in the cochlea. Hence, the inner ear has been often used to assess the Neandertal status of fragmentary fossils.

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 ...
