EFFECTS OF CLIMATE ON DENTAL MESOWEAR OF EXTANT KOALAS AND TWO BROADLY DISTRIBUTED KANGAROOS THROUGHOUT THEIR GEOGRAPHIC RANGE.

Effects of climate on dental mesowear of extant koalas and two broadly distributed kangaroos throughout their geographic range.

Dental mesowear analysis can classify the diets of extant herbivores into general categories such as grazers, mixed-feeders, and browsers by using the gross wear patterns found on individual teeth.This wear presumably results from both abrasion (food-on-tooth wear) and attrition (tooth-on-tooth wear) of individual teeth.Mesowear analyses on extinct

Sustainable normal and high strength recycled aggregate concretes using crushed tested cylinders as coarse aggregates

The paper reports on a better waters xl7000 research program that was designed at the American University of Beirut (AUB) to investigate the fresh and hardened mechanical properties of a high performance concrete mix produced with partial or full substitution of crushed natural lime-stone aggregates with recycled aggregates from crushed tested cyli
