## Abstract The perching foot of living birds is commonly characterized by a reversed or opposable digit I (hallux). Primitively, the hallux of nonavian theropod dinosaurs was unreversed and lay parallel to digits II–IV. Among basal birds, a unique digital innovation evolved in which the hallux opp

## Abstract This article presents an acceleration technique for the fast calculation of the impedance matrix elements in the method of moments in the case of using characteristic basis functions (CBFs). This technique is based on taking advantage of the smooth amplitude and phase behaviors of the f
