    The Rate of Locomotion dependence on hind leg length and body mass for the Tenebrio molitor beetle. Abstract The effects of leg length and body mass on the Tenebrio Molitor’s rate of locomotion were investigated under laboratory conditions. The performance (running speed) was accessed for 37 Tenebrio molitor with different hind leg lengths and body masses. Running speed is important for a variety of activities (e.g. searching for prey and mates‚ dispersal‚ etc.). Therefore‚ increased

    Studying primate dentition is a relatively old topic. There have been many studies conducted to find more information on primate dental morphology. The research is conducted to try and distinguish the relationship between diet and primate dentition. Primate teeth have several functions‚ but their primary function is the mastication of food. Their dental morphology reflects the various functions demanded by the variety of food types—shearing‚ chopping‚ grinding. Generally‚ incisors function chiefly

    states and detonation properties of trans and cis configurations of azocubane. All properties have been obtained using the B3LYP functional and 6-31G(d‚p) basis set. Also‚ IR‚ UV-Vis‚ CD and NMR spectra of the structures were simulated. The volumes of the structures computed to get the densities of the molecules. All calculations carried out in gas phase at temperature 293.15 k and pressure 1 atm. The simulation results revealed that the trans configuration of azocubane exhibits more stability‚ low reactivity
