Assessment of comminution capacity related to molar intercuspation in catarrhines using a chewing simulator by Axelle EC Walker, Franck Guy, Christian Salles, Ghislain Thiery, Vincent Lazzari

“…This experiment showed that proper occlusion and bite force are sufficient only to fragment brittle food and that additional movements are necessary to fragment tough foods (leaves and grasses). It also highlights the masticatory capacities of various occlusal patterns in primates and our ability to test these with robotics, a breakthrough that will allow investigations of important anthropological questions concerning the evolution of dental morphology.…”

Uso do solo e Dinâmica dos Nutrientes nas Águas do Reservatório da Hidrelétrica de Manso no Estado de Mato Grosso, Brasil Central by Jeater Waldemar Maciel Correa Santos, Simoni Maria Loverde Oliveira, William Pietro de Souza

“…As a result it was found that in only 7 months the water lamina of reservoir had already covered more than 60% of the previewed area for filling leaving submerged almost the all original vegetation existing in the area, it was 62%covered with forests and savannas and 19% of grasses for grazing cattle. The decomposition of this organic biomass flooded has provided nutrients to the water, and has influenced in the time-spatial variation of concentrations of total nitrogen (NT) and total phosphorus (PT), especially during filling phase of the reservoir, where its contribution may have been more important than that resulting from the export of nitrogen and phosphorus for their sub-basins of contribution. …”
