Dental pathology and macrowear: a biocultural analysis of southern African holocene hunter-gatherers and hunter-herders
Dental macrowear quantity, direction, and oral pathology were assessed against demographic factors in southern African Holocene hunter-gatherers and -herders (sAHGH). This is the first study to investigate inter-related implications of diet, health, and behaviour across time and space using only …

Diet and Behavior of Ancient Maya: Using Dental Wear Patterns
… with a soft food diet. Standard scoring for macrowear was used to assess the entire surface of all teeth. Microwear analyses focused on wear facet nine within the distobuccal quadrant on mandibular first molars. Results indicated no significant differences across social groups. Climate …

Nanoscale Investigation of Adhesion, Friction, and Wear in Chemically Heterogeneous Responsive Polymer Brushes
… with AFM using sharp silicon nitride tip while macrowear studies were carried out using nanoindenter. Nanowear on the surfaces was affected by molecular entanglements, adhesion and friction forces as well as shape and status of the tip. It was observed that the typical wear mode for PS brushes …
