Previously undocumented regional variability in crab‐eating macaque skull sexual dimorphism and its implications for biological and morphometric studies

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract In a large sample of adult crab‐eating macaques, we quantified sexual dimorphism in size, shape, and covariance across the whole skull and among anatomical regions of the cranium and mandible. All regions showed significant mean sex differences, but the magnitude of size and shape dimorphism varied substantially.

Morpho‐functional analyses of the jaw apparatus in the Blue‐and‐yellow Macaw (Ara ararauna, Psittaciformes, Aves): Adaptations to feeding behavior

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Macaws are renowned for processing dry, mechanically resistant fruits, yet the species‐level anatomical and functional correlates of this performance remain incompletely resolved. We examined the feeding apparatus of the Blue‐and‐yellow Macaw (Ara ararauna) using an integrated approach that combines osteology, myology, and bite‐force estimates

Study on Wind Load Distribution and Aerodynamic Characteristics of a Yawed Cylinder

open access: yesBuildings
The flow mechanism around a yawed cylinder is highly complex. While previous research has confirmed the limitation of the Independence Principle at high yaw angles, the specific flow phenomena beyond 20° yaw remain poorly understood, particularly ...

Three‐dimensional digital analysis of musteloid masticatory muscle architecture

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Musteloids span an enormous breadth of dietary modes within a single superfamily. In this study, we utilize digital dissection techniques to reconstruct the internal 3D anatomy of muscles within the musteloid feeding apparatus, and explore how dietary specializations might alter the size, orientation, and curvature of fascicles therein.

Yaw-torque level does not influence response polarity.

open access: yes, 2016
Responses are grouped as (syn,cwcue), (anti,cwcue), (syn,ccwcue) and (anti,ccwcue). Histograms of CS yaw-torque values generated within 1s before the displacements show no difference (N = 138).

Bite force estimates and morphological correlations of jaw muscles in parrots

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Parrots (Order: Psittaciformes) are renowned for their high bite force (BF) and morphological correlates thereof, including a highly mobile skull and two unique mandibular adductor muscles—m. pseudomasseter and m. ethmomandibularis, with the former being hypothesized to increase force output.

Numerical Simulation of a Bird-Inspired UAV Which Turns Without a Tail Through Proverse Yaw

open access: yesBiomimetics
This study numerically explores a bird-inspired tail-less unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) design which can turn through proverse yaw by using a bell-shaped spanload wing configuration. The research methodology consists of two phases.

Feedback control for yaw angle with input nonlinearity via input-state linearization

open access: yes, 2006
This paper discusses the yaw control of small-size unmanned helicopter. The yaw dynamics of helicopter involve input nonlinearity, time-varying parameters and the couplings between main and tail rotor.
