Long bones: Long bones have a slightly curved shaft capped on both sides with hyaline cartilage and are longer than they are thick. They're made mostly of compact bone, allowing them to support great amounts of weight and withstand pressure. The femur is an excellent example of the strength...
The much greater preservation of bones and teeth is made possible by the fact that they are comprised of mostly mineral matter. Teeth, for exam- ple, have a very tough outer covering--called enamel--that is highly mineralized. Consequently, teeth are especially resistant to natural processes ...

In capon production all kinds of weight type chicken breeds and strains can be used, but mostly native or locally adapted breeds with a slow growth rate are used (Lin and Hsu, 2003; Durán, 2004; Lin et al., 2012). In Poland, the following native breeds are caponized: Greenleg Partrid...
Although the Neandertal sample includes cranial and postcranial elements (Fig. 1), with long bones best represented and extremities mostly absent, the minimum number of elements (MNE = 35) demonstrates a very low overall skeletal representation. The best represented elements are, in ...

Cuttlefish diversity can be partly explained by their biology and biogeography. Juveniles (with a few notable exceptions) are primarily benthic following hatching and there is no paralarval stage (Young et al.1998; Neige2003); adults are demersal, mostly occurring in the neritic zone, although som...
Considering DASH score, the former group showed mostly excellent (40%) and good (45%) outcome while the latter exhibited mostly fair (55%) and good (30%) result. Conclusion: It may be stated that plate osteosynthesis is a better option in the treatment of diaphys...
