A Laboratory Study on the Kinematic and Pressure Responses of an Internally Pressurized Novel Surrogate Headform Subjected to Blunt Impacts
DownloadFall 2024
Instrumented surrogate head models – each of which exhibits varying degrees of complexity – are employed to study traumatic brain injury and mild traumatic brain injury. Despite advancements over the years, many existing surrogate head models lack a pressurized cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) or...

Anatomy, biomechanics, and evolution of the archosaur ribcage with implications for the evolution of ventilation
DownloadFall 2023
Extant birds and crocodylians are modern representatives of Archosauria, a group of amniote vertebrates with a long evolutionary history that may be traced back to the Triassic Period. On the paths to extant bird and crocodylians, early archosaurs diversified and occupied many niches available...

Exploring the Past, Present, and Future of Predator-Prey Interactions Between Crabs and Their Gastropod Prey
DownloadSpring 2020
Interactions between predators and prey play an important role in structuring their communities and shaping evolution. However, human-induced climate change has the potential to influence both predators and prey and disrupt their interactions. The fossil record provides an enormous resource to...

Fall 2024
In 2020, the dental care cost in Canada was approximately $13.89 billion and 20% of Canadians underwent orthodontic treatment. Patients seek orthodontic treatment to improve their oral functionality, psychosocial well-being, appearance, and quality of life. Aligner mechanotherapy is gaining...

Inferred musculature and kinematics of the forelimb in a lambeosaurine hadrosaurid dinosaur
DownloadSpring 2022
Hadrosaurid dinosaurs are largely considered to be facultatively bipedal. However, a distinct lack of well-described hadrosaurid postcranial material in the literature makes comparative analysis of hadrosaurid biomechanics difficult. A newly recovered lambeosaurine (crested) hadrosaurid from the...

ON THE ABILITY OF PROTECTIVE HEADGEAR TO ALTER SKULL AND BRAIN KINETICS DURING BLAST AND IMPACT: AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY USING A SURROGATE MODEL OF THE HUMAN HEAD WITH NOVEL INSTRUMENTATION
DownloadSpring 2019
Blast-induced traumatic brain injury (bTBI) has become increasingly prevalent among military personnel over recent years. Head protection is fielded to mitigate the amount of energy imparted to head, as a result of ballistic and impact exposure. Despite the efficacy of contemporary headgear in...
