Journal Article
Kupczik, K., Dobson, C. A., Crompton, R. H., Phillips, R., Oxnard, C. E., Fagan, M. J., & O'Higgins, P. (2009). Masticatory loading and bone adaptation in the supraorbital torus of developing macaques. American journal of physical anthropology, 139(2), 193-203. https://doi.org/10.1002/ajpa.20972

Research on the evolution and adaptive significance of primate craniofacial morphologies has focused on adult, fully developed individuals. Here, we investigate the possible relationship between the local stress environment arising from masticatory l...

Laboratory studies of near-grazing impulsive sound propagating over rough water (2008)
Journal Article
Qin, Q., Lukaschuk, S., & Attenborough, K. (2008). Laboratory studies of near-grazing impulsive sound propagating over rough water. The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 124(2), EL40-EL44. https://doi.org/10.1121/1.2947627

Acoustic impulses due to an electrical spark source (main acoustic energy near 15 kHz) have been measured after propagating near to the water surface in a shallow container resting on a vibrating platform. Control of the platform vibration enabled co... Read More about Laboratory studies of near-grazing impulsive sound propagating over rough water.
