BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Our purpose was to characterize the surface area of the infarct and the surface area at risk of infarction as defined spatially by arterial anastomoses to determine whether position, size, or shape of the infarct and the area at risk were related in stroke-prone rats or hybrid rats. METHODS Stroke-prone rats (n = 18; mean +/- SEM blood pressure, 182 +/- 8 mm Hg) and hyb...

We present a complete analytic parametrization of constant width bodies in dimension 3 based on the median surface: more precisely, we define a bijection between some space of functions and constant width bodies. We compute simple geometrical quantities like the volume and the surface area in terms of those functions. As a corollary we give a new algebraic proof of Blaschke’s formula. Finally, ...

We established linear and exponential relationships between leaf area (A) and leaf length (L), leaf width (W), W(2), L(2) and LW, in Salix viminalis L. Most relationships were significantly nonlinear, but good fits were obtained with both linear and exponential models. The nonlinear relationship between A and LW differed for leaves from sylleptic and proleptic shoots. Leaves from sylleptic and ...

This paper describes estimation of stream channel geometry with multiple regression analysis of GISderived watershed characteristics including drainage area, catchment-averaged precipitation, mean watershed slope, elevation, forest cover, percent area with slopes greater than 30 percent, and percent area with north-facing slopes greater than 30 percent. Results from this multivariate predictor ...

Leaf area (LA) is a valuable key for plant physiological studies, therefore accurate and simple models for LA determination are important for many experimental comparisons. A greenhouse experiment was conducted from October 2009 to February 2010 in two basil cultivars (Purple Ruffles and Genovese) to estimate LA, leaf dry weight (DW), leaf fresh weight (DW) and leaf dimensions (width-W and leng...
