- Placed in or among, or put between, as if ingrained or woven in: specifically noting a bone of the lower jaw of fishes interposed between others.
- noun A bone of the lower jaw or mandibular arch of some vertebrates, as fishes, between the hyomandibular bone above and the quadrate bone below, forming an inferior ossification of the suspensorium of the lower jaw, articulated or ankylosed with the quadrate or its representative. Also called
mesotympanic . See cuts underpalatoquadrate and teleost.

Ortiz is awarded for a remarkable stream of achievements during the period 1998-2007, encompassing physical modeling, mathematical analysis and computational technique, including in particular development of the quasi-continuum method for multiscale modeling; formulation of new incremental variational methodology for plastic deformation, with non-convex dissipation functions leading naturally to the formation of dislocation sub-structures; development of a three-dimensional, finite deformation cohesive element model for simulation of fracture and fragmentation, and associated development of symplectic integrators;
