Common (Callithrix jacchus) and pygmy (Cebuella pygmaea) marmosets and cotton-top tamarins (Saguinus oedipus) share broadly similar diets of fruits, insects, and tree exudates. Marmosets, however, differ from tamarins in actively gouging trees with their anterior dentition to elicit tree exudates flow. Tree gouging in common marmosets involves the generation of relatively wide jaw gapes, but no...

Price gouging. There’s no other name for it. In recent years, many in the pharmaceutical industry have embarked on a largely unfettered campaign of drug price gouging. American Family Physician contributing editor Allen Shaughnessy, PharmD, outlines many examples in the accompanying editorial on this topic.1 Michael Munger, MD, president-elect of the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP)...

A 29 year old myopic man sustained two separate giant retinal tears in his right eye following deliberate eye gouging during a rugby tackle. These were successfully repaired by vitrectomy and intraocular silicone oil injection. Although the postoperative course was complicated by pupil block glaucoma, he regained corrected visual acuity of 6/5 after oil removal. This injury highlights the poten...

Curvature matching for 5-axis surface machining has been plagued by the complexity of the task. As a result the current tool positioning strategies are likewise computationally complicated. Gouging the surface has been the main concern and has presented the greatest dif®culty in the algorithms. Some of the methods perform exhaustive searches of the surface to avoid gouging while others incremen...
