Quantitative assessment of masticatory muscles based on skull muscle attachment areas in Carnivora
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Masticatory muscles are composed of the temporalis, masseter, and pterygoid muscles in mammals. Each muscle has a different origin on the skull and insertion on the mandible; thus, all masticatory muscles contract in different directions. Collecting in vivo data and directly measuring the masticatory muscles anatomically in various Carnivora ...

Logarithmic mean and weighted sum of geometric and anti-harmonic means
Journal of Numerical Analysis and Approximation Theory, 2012 We consider the problem of finding the optimal values \(\alpha,\ \beta\in\mathbb{R}\) for which the inequality\[\alpha G(a,b)+(1-\alpha)C(a,b)

The relationship between form and function of the carnivore mandible
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Dietary morphology diversified extensively in Carnivoraformes (living Carnivora and their stem relatives) during the Cenozoic (the last 66 million years) as they evolved to capture, handle, and process new animal and plant diets. We used 3D geometric morphometrics, mechanical advantage, and finite element analysis to test the evolutionary ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Intermittent hypobaric hypoxia (IHH) enhances oxygen transport, muscle metabolism, and cardiovascular health; however, the combined effects of hypobaria and cold are less well understood. Exposure to these stressful environmental factors, even intermittently, can affect skeletal muscle due to its plasticity, thereby altering its metabolic and ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract An ultrastructural morphometric analysis of the postnatal development of the lung in the gray short‐tailed opossum (Monodelphis domestica) has been conducted to evaluate the morphofunctional status of this poorly developed marsupial lung immediately following parturition.

Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract In the Lake Koocanusa‐Kootenai River system (Montana, USA and British Columbia, Canada), selenium (Se) contamination has become an international concern and is suspected to contribute to the observed burbot (Lota lota) population collapse. Due to our limited ability to sample burbot in Lake Koocanusa for monitoring studies, we used a reference

Bilateral inequalities for means
Journal of Numerical Analysis and Approximation Theory, 2013 Let \(\left(M_{1},M_{2},M_{3}\right) \) be three means in two variables chosen from \(H\), \(G\), \(L\), \(I\), \(A\), \(Q\), \(S\), \(C\) so that \[ M_{1}(a,b)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The middle Permian represents a critical interval in therapsid evolution, when gorgonopsians emerged as some of the first specialized apex predators within terrestrial ecosystems. Despite their significance, the early diversification of Gorgonopsia in Gondwana remains poorly understood due to scarcity and fragmentary material.

On a functional equation containing four weighted arithmetic means
Banach Journal of Mathematical Analysis, 2008 The author offers a complete discussion and solution of the functional equation \[ f\big(\alpha x+(1-\alpha)y\big)+f\big(\beta x+(1-\beta)y\big) =f\big(\gamma x+(1-\gamma)y\big)+f\big(\delta x+(1-\delta)y\big), \] which holds for all \(x,y\in I\), where \(I\) is a non-void open real interval.
