Logical And Persuasive Structures In Charles Darwin's Prose Style, Charles Kay Smith Dec 1969

Logical And Persuasive Structures In Charles Darwin's Prose Style, Charles Kay Smith

Charles Kay Smith

This paper analyzes Charles Darwin's characteristic writing behavior. Darwin was a more interesting and dedicated writer than he is commonly credited for being. This essay will reassess the importance of his writing. The surface characteristics of Darwin's prose (conventionally referred to as his "style") seem at first glance so plain and ordinary that Darwin's writing rarely interests students of style. Exceptions such as Theodore Baird in an essay entitled "Darwin and the Tangled Bank"1 and Stanley Edgar Hyman in a longer study of Darwin's writing, The Tangled Bank,2 both make a point of the current general disregard of Darwin as …


Predicting Bite Force In Mammals: 2d Vs. 3d Lever Models, Elizabeth R. Dumont Dec 1019

Predicting Bite Force In Mammals: 2d Vs. 3d Lever Models, Elizabeth R. Dumont

Elizabeth R. Dumont

Bite force is a measure of whole-organism performance that is often used to investigate the relationships between performance, morphology and fitness. When in vivo measurements of bite force are unavailable, researchers often turn to lever models to predict bite forces. This study demonstrates that bite force predictions based on two-dimensional (2-D) lever models can be improved by including three-dimensional (3-D) geometry and realistic physiological cross-sectional areas derived from dissections. Widely used, the 2-D method does a reasonable job of predicting bite force. However, it does so by over predicting physiological cross-sectional areas for the masseter and pterygoid muscles and under …
