A perspective from the Mesozoic: Evolutionary changes of the mammalian skull and their influence on feeding efficiency and high‐frequency hearing

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The complex evolutionary history behind modern mammalian chewing performance and hearing function is a result of several changes in the entire skeletomuscular system of the skull and lower jaw. Lately, exciting multifunctional 3D analytical methods and kinematic simulations of feeding functions in both modern and fossil mammals and their ...

In‐vitro puncture experiment using alligator teeth tracks the formation of dental microwear and its association with hardness of the diet

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract With the development of dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA), there has been an increasing application of DMTA for dietary estimation in extant and fossil reptiles, including dinosaurs. While numerous feeding experiments exist for herbivorous mammals, knowledge remains limited for carnivorous reptiles. This study aimed to qualitatively and

Inter‐microscope comparability of dental microwear texture data obtained from different optical profilometers: Part II Deriving instrument‐specific correction equations for meta‐analyses using published data

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) has emerged as a valuable method for investigating the feeding ecology of vertebrates. Over the past decade, three‐dimensional topographic data from microscopic regions of tooth surfaces have been collected, and surface texture parameters have been published for both extant and fossil species.

MODES OF VIBRATION OF THE BEAMS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DISCONTINUITY IN FOUNDATION

open access: yesFacta Universitatis. Series: Mechanical Engineering, 2014
Vibrations of the Timoshenko beams resting on the Winkler and Pasternak elastic foundation with discontinuity are investigated in this paper. A p-version finite element method that accounts for shear deformation is used.

Simplified Calculation Method for Existing Tunnel Settlement Caused by Shield Under-passing Based on Timoshenko-PasternakModel

open access: yesChengshi guidao jiaotong yanjiu
Objective It is aimed to tackle the inefficient accuracy of traditional Euler-Bernoulli beam and Winkler foundation model in calculating settlement induced by shield under-passing existing tunnels. Method Based on the Timoshenko beam theory and Pasternak

Timoshenko beam under Winkler foundation

open access: yes, 2019
We are interested in buckling for Timoshenko beam supported along its length by an elastic wall (Winkler foundation) and subjected to a longitudinal force. We use analytical methods to determine buckling load and mode shape rather than numerical methods. Haringx and Engesser models are compared. We show that the rigidity of the wall solely gouverns the

Proton-Coupled Electron Flow in Protein Redox Machines [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Electron transfer (ET) reactions are fundamental steps in biological redox processes. Respiration is a case in point: at least 15 ET reactions are required to take reducing equivalents from NADH, deposit them in O_2, and generate the electrochemical ...

Inter‐microscope comparability of dental microwear texture data obtained from different optical profilometers: Part I Reproducibility of diet inference using different instruments

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) has become a well‐established method for dietary inference and reconstruction in both extant and extinct mammals and other tetrapods. As the volume of available data continues to grow, researchers could benefit from combining published data from various studies to perform meta‐analyses.

Free Vibration of Single Walled Carbon Nanotube Resting on Exponentially Varying Elastic Foundation

open access: yesCurved and Layered Structures, 2018
In this article, free vibration of SingleWalled Carbon Nanotube (SWCNT) resting on exponentially varying Winkler elastic foundation is investigated by using Differential Quadrature Method (DQM).
