The bone structure of dolphins is lighter than that of terrestrial mammals as it has to withstand less weight in the water. Dolphins have an adjustable rib cage, thanks to which they can swim in low-pressure environments without suffering damage. The neck is rather short because the seven cerv...
Of course AFTER the age of puberty, it is really easy to discern a mature male Orca, from a female because the dorsal fin is much larger in mature males. The pectoral fins are larger too and the edges of the tail are often curved downward. Mature males are also larger than females. B...
This result reveals a possible working mode of an inverse-parallel connection of a rectifier and a memristor (upper inserted circuit in figure 4a). Previous work also shows that the Au-NNO/NO-SRO system forms an equivalent rectifier due to the summation of the Au/NO Schottky barrier and the...
Part of the challenge in comparing morphological structures across taxa and exploring diversity and functionality is that ubiquitous defined landmarks are usually essential. A geometric morphometric approach is often used to characterize the shape of an anatomical structure, in which consistent ...
In the current work, we use the 3D-DIC method to generate a 3D model of the surface of an ex vivo porcine heart. The aim of this paper is threefold: (i) To describe the creation of the 3D model of the cardiac surface for the AM process using 3D-DIC; (ii) To evaluate the ...
