In the present study, regression equations between body and head length measurements for the broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) are presented. Age and sex are discussed as sources of variation for allometric models. Four body-length, fourteen head-length, and ten ratio variables were taken from wild and captive animals. With the exception of body mass, log-transformation did not improve ...

introduction: the lack of adequate blood perfusion through different organs of the body, including the brain and skull, can be caused by any type of circulation abnormality. the purpose of this study is to compare cephalometric indices between infants under the age of 12 months who have congenital heart disease (chd) and normal infants. materials and methods: this case-control study was carried...

The objective of this work was to estimate genetic parameters and evaluate trends over 26 years for morphometric traits in Mangalarga Marchador horses. Twelve were evaluated (withers croup heights; length head, body, shoulder, croup, neck, back, loins; width head cannon bone thorax perimeters). These 38,341 animals born between 1987 2012 with a relationship matrix 77,719 animals. Gibbs sampler ...

Abstract Land subsidence is a global problem in urban areas. The main cause of land the pumping subsurface water. It great significance to study settlement and water flow lands due pumping. In this study, probabilistic analysis performed by Biot’s poroelasticity random field theory based on case study. results show that change deformation aquifer far less significant than hydraulic head over ye...

The characteristics of a cavitation water tunnel test setup and the experiments of cavitation around different models are given in this paper. Models of test are formed from combination of head and variable length afterbody. The experiments are performed initially with the smooth head and then with the roughened head. Cavitation initiates both in the wake and after the head. If the nose of mode...

This corrects the article "Changes in Shape of Combination a One-Length Cut and Medium-Graduation according to Segmentation Head Regions Slice Lines" on page 221.

BACKGROUND Knowledge of the size and shape of radial head is essential for construction of radial head prosthesis. Further, the measurements of bicipital tuberosity and its angular relationship to radial head are significant in surgical techniques, like in the reconstruction of biceps tendon. Even the morphometry of the distal radius is significant in numerous clinical orthopedic situations suc...

A new species of anthiine fish, Plectranthias alcocki n. sp. is described and illustrated based on two specimens, (63.7-72.5 mm SL), recently collected from deep-waters of the Arabian Sea, off Kollam, Kerala, India. The following combination of characters distinguishes it from all other congeners: Dorsal-fin rays X, 15; anal-fin rays III, 7; pectoral-fin rays 14, all unbranched; pelvic-fin rays...

In this paper we deal with one-way multi-head data-independent finite automata. A k-head finite automaton A is data-independent, if the position of every head i after step t in the computation on an input w is a function that depends only on the length of the input w, on i and on t (i.e. the trajectories of heads must be the same on the inputs of the same length). It is known that k(k + 1)/2 + ...

PURPOSE To report a novel method for measuring the vertical tilt angle of the optic nerve (ON) head and to investigate the associated factors. DESIGN Cross-sectional diagnostic study. METHODS One hundred and twelve normal, glaucomatous, and glaucoma suspect eyes (99 patients) were enrolled in this study. Subjects underwent a full eye examination, biometry, and spectral-domain optical cohere...
