A Novel Approach to Density Near-Zero Acoustic Metamaterials by Milan Sečujski, Norbert Cselyuszka, Vesna Crnojević-Bengin

“…This effect can be exploited in a range of applications where extremely low phase variation over long physical distances is required, such as energy tunneling or tailoring the acoustic radiation phase pattern in arbitrary ways. After discussing the dependence of the frequency response of the unit cell on the properties of the host, we show that it can be used to design near-zero acoustic filters with low insertion loss and steep roll-off. …”

Proportions des tissus des dents déciduales chez deux individus de Dordogne (France) : l’enfant néanderthalien du Roc de Marsal et le spécimen du Paléolithique supérieur final de L... by Priscillia Bayle

“…However, deciduous dental tissue proportions in Neanderthals, notably those of the anterior teeth, are still poorly known, and the structural condition characteristic of the anatomically modern fossil human teeth is unreported yet.By means of high-resolution industrial (µCT) and synchrotron radiation (SR-µCT) microtomography, we investigated, for the first time, the inner structure of the entire deciduous dental sequence of the Neanderthal child of Roc de Marsal (Dordogne) and of the late Upper Paleolithic specimen from La Madeleine (La Madeleine 4, Dordogne), and comparatively quantified their volumetric dental tissue proportions.Results show that, since the early developmental stages, Neanderthal teeth (here represented also by isolated specimens from the site of La Chaise, in Charente) are characterized by a unique tissue organization, while the late Upper Paleolithic specimen shows a pattern similar to the extant human condition illustrated by our reference sample.…”
