Exploring the Effects of Tooth Wear on Functional Morphology: a Preliminary Study Using Dental Topographic Analysis
Mammalian tooth form reflects the material properties of foods. Much research has focused on relationships between aspects of dental morphology and diet. Understanding these relationships allows us to infer feeding adaptations from the teeth of fossil forms. Most such studies have focused on unworn (rather than worn) teeth because these are easier to characterize and compare among species. Neve...
متن کاملthe differential effects of debate and media analysis as relate to enhancing efl learners critical thinking ability and writing performances
critical thinking ability has an important role in education. accordingly, scholars around the world are searching for new ways for teaching and improving students critical thinking ability. in line with the studies in efl contexts supporting the positive relationship between critical thinking and writing performances, this study investigated the differential effects of halverson’s critical thi...
15 صفحه اولMapping and Inference in Analogical Problem Solving – As Much as Needed or as Much as Possible?
There exist many computational models of analogy making, which are based on different assumptions about the cognitive processes which are responsible for successful transfer from a base to a target domain. In most models, mapping of the base structure to the target is seen as the core of analogy making. We believe that the way in which this mapping is realized is a crucial aspect by which the d...
متن کاملAssessment of Dental Students’ Knowledge of Tooth Wear, Its Diagnosis, Prevalence, Prevention, and Treatment
Background A sizable increase in the outbreak of tooth attrition and especially dental erosion has been observed. Detection of tooth wear, proper prevention, and effective intervention in the early stage will avoid the adverse effect on teeth performance and elegance. Thus, the current study aimed to determine the level of awareness of senior dental students (general dentists) about the preval...
متن کاملQuantitative analysis of conodont tooth wear and damage as a test of ecological and functional hypotheses
—Analysis of dental wear and damage is becoming an increasingly important tool in unraveling the trophic ecology of a wide range of vertebrates, and when applied to fossils it can provide evidence of both diet and feeding kinematics that is independent of morphological analysis. Conodonts have the best fossil record among vertebrates and their skeletal elements are known to exhibit surface wear...
