Inductive plethysmography (IP) sensors and oscillator modules were assessed for their potential use in the ambulatory monitoring of abdominal girth in subjects with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in order to objectively quantify their bloating symptoms. A dedicated microprocessordata logger was designed to record over 24 h the frequency output of IP oscillators connected to a belt around the su...

The aim of the present study was to estimate genetic parameters of body measurements in TurkishArabian foals. Records of wither height, front cannon circumference, heart girth, and body length were usedfor body measurements at birth, 6 months of age, 1-year-old and 2-year-old. Heritability of bodymeasurements of Turkish Arabian foals was estimated by using records of foals sired by stallions wh...

OBJECTIVES To assess the use of an acellular collagen matrix (Pelvicol, Bard Medical, Covington, GA, USA), a successful agent for reconstructive surgery, for enhancing penile girth. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between June and December 2011, 18 patients (mean age 24 years, range 19-38) had their penis augmented with Pelvicol; the mean (range) penile circumference was 9.2 (7-13) cm before treatment. ...

Abstract: The objective of this work was to distinguish the sexual dimorphism horses Campolina breed, by morphometric measurements, and classify them according sex, using discriminating functions. Two-hundred fifteen were measured, 39 measurements evaluated. analysis covariance discriminant performed. Males taller showed a wider chest, greater scapular-humeral angle, larger neck, both in length...

Abstract The expansion of the vascular cambium cylinder in stem woody plants has been modeled many times, using different approaches and focusing on contributions cell events (cell divisions, intrusive growth symplastic growth). Although there are case studies literature, a universal model is still lacking. Therefore, aim this study to estimate quantitative changes contribution single cambial (...

Department of Animal Science,Faculty of Agriculture,University of Uyo, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria A total of 40 New Zealand white rabbits were used in a study where prediction models were developed for predicting live weight and evaluating the carcass. In the study, six body measurements namely, body length, thigh circumference, shank length, chest width, body circumference and girth were de...

The signless Laplacian spectral radius of a graph G, denoted by q(G), is the largest eigenvalue its matrix. In this paper, we investigate extremal for graphs without short cycles or long cycles. Let G(m,g) be family on m edges with girth g and H(m,c) circumference c. More precisely, obtain unique maximal q(G) in H(m,c), respectively.

Sheep and goat have a great role in the economy of the pastoral communities which have inhabited in the lowland parts Ethiopia. The study was conducted in Borana low land southern Ethiopia to predict the body weight of blackhead Somali (BHS) sheep using linear body measurements under farm condition. A total of 478 heads (301 female and 177 males) were measured for linear body measurements and b...
