They had brachydont cheek teeth ideal for shearing soft foliage.
Viscosity, granular temperature and stress calculations for shearing assemblies of inelastic, frictional disks.
The upper and lower jaws were lined with stacked columns of teeth, which appear to have been specialized for shearing.
It's OK to worry about her falling over and being flung about like a sheep ready for shearing.
Back in the car, I continue my journey west to Estancia Cerro Buenos Aires to watch three gauchos and their dogs round up 1,500 sheep for shearing.
Viscosity, granular-temperature, and stress calculations for shearing assemblies of inelastic, frictional disks.
Apple is a kind of poster child for shearing off the unnecessary, shocking the status quo by making modifications to its products that seem genuinely to challenge the received wisdom about what a "computer" or a "mobile phone" actually is.
Bears and procyonids (except the olingo), which tend to be omnivorous, and seals, which eat fish or marine invertebrates, have little or no modification of these teeth for shearing.
Stacks of Tupperware containers held antique laryngologic instruments, including a harpoon-like implement for shearing off diseased tonsils, and a curved metal forceps with an end clamp which was used, in the eighteen-eighties, to hold a cotton swab impregnated with liquid cocaine — an early method for subduing the gag reflex in patients.
Hooke's law applies essentially to one-dimensional deformations, but it can be extended to more general (three-dimensional) deformations by the introduction of linearly related stresses and strains (generalizations of σ and e) that account for shearing, twisting, and volume changes.
Let's say, though, that despite a hypothetical preference for shearing sheep over watching actors sing, you have gone to see "Spring Awakening" or "Company" or both, and suppose now that you unexpectedly find yourself re-evaluating the form, perhaps at least in part because both new productions engage with sexual politics in a way rarely seen on the mainstream stage.
