When performing a regional-scale geomorphometric analysis, one might face a decision on whether to derive morphometric data from a low-resolution DEM or to calculate basic derivatives from a higher resolution dataset and average these data afterwards. This paper investigates differences between morphometric parameters (slope and aspect) derived from a resampled DEM and resampled morphometric da...

Discussions about the biological bases (or lack thereof) of the concept of race in the human species seem to be never ending. One of the latest rounds is represented by a paper by Neven Sesardic, which attempts to build a strong scientific case for the existence of human races, based on genetic, morphometric and behavioral characteristics, as well as on a thorough critique of opposing positions...

The present study was carried out to determine the sex of the fertilized white layer eggs with using morphological measurements. A total of 300 Super Nick White Layer (54 wks of age) eggs were incubated and sexed in the end of incubation period. Before incubation egg length, width and weight were measured. The egg volume and shape index were estimated with using these measurements for each egg....
